* "Online Chair Caning, & Seat Weavers' Directory" tm Shout Out!

  *****  VIDEO UPDATE!  
 
* Video for "Squaring Up" "Rush" Chair Bottoms' using the "Goff Method" was completed this afternoon!
  I was informed today February 13, 2012 that the editing for the Video has been conpleted, mailing
  (from Arkansas) was done within the last few days so shortly I will be able to "Post" it on "You Tube"
  at long last.   This will make life easier for every "Seat Weaver" whom does "Rush" Chair Bottoms' on
  the planet
GUARANTEED!
  

Five Things That "Seat Weavers'" Cannot Recover In Life:
(1) The Stone ....... After It Is Thrown!
(2) The Word ....... After It Is Said!
(3) The Occasion ....... After It Is Missed!
(4) The Time ....... After It Is Gone!
(5) A Person ....... After They Die!
So use integrity!  Less of a burden than regrit!

                                       Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving What If (For Me)
       Recently I read a very interesting paragraph about how, & where to strip off old chairs, & it will NEVER be in my shop 
  again due to inhaling dust, mildew, etc. from an old chair(s) because of where, & how they may have been stored! 
       It will be done outside of my shop with maximum ventilation, & before I bring the chair caning, or seat weaving re- 
  storation into my shop to restore!  
       Coming from an attic, an old barn, a basement, or an out building may cause health problems which I did not bargain for 
  when I took in this or that chair caning or seat weaving restoration to do!
       IMPORTANT NOTE:  Dust Mask, & Gloves will be used ALWAYS during the strip off of old chairs etc.!

test162.jpg

       * If you have discovered, & are daily using the Chair Caning Lock Step Method TM that's absolutely fantastic!
       I will be teaching the Chair Caning Lock Step Method TM without the references/substitions so that it will
  (hopefully) not be so confusing to my Online Class as I did with MY STUDENT ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES!!!  

  They got it, & use it every single day!

                                                    * Signing Your Seatweaving! Smile
       "When I took off the old seats, I found that a little girl had signed her name before the Rush was put on", he said. 
  "I asked the man if her name had any significance, & it turns out it was an old maid great-aunt of his." Smile (smile)
      
"Since then, I've started putting my name, & the date inside of my work!  Maybe 100 years from now, when some-
  body takes my seat off, they"ll feel a connection with me, too." Smile

* OFF TO THE CHAIR CANING, & RUSH RACES!!!
  ON THURS DAY (BLESSED RAIN COMING) AUGUST 12, 2010 @
  8:28AM EST

       Today we'll do a little traveling.  Actually we will be driving to
  Ashland, Virginia to visit with old friends at ANTIQUES OF 
  TOMORROW whom has referred a lot of work to us over the years,
  & deliver their turn of the centurn Bentwood High Chair from
  around Circa 1910!!!
       Then it's on to the SPONSOR of the ANTIQUES ROADSHOW
  here in Central Virginia to pick up four (4) Rush Bottom Chairs to
  do!!!  They're located in Midlothian, Virginia!!!
       And then a quick stop at the Bone (Junk) yard to see if any-
  thing new has come in in the way of Vintage Auto/Truck parts gold
  which is rapidly disappearing from the landscape!!!  And it is get-
  ing very expensive to purchase , & next to impossible to locate
  so it's only going to go up in value!!!
       The day ended on a high note being BLESSED with a safe trip
  for which I am always thankful when I take a business trip!!!
       And we stopped by our new ANTIQUES ROADSHOW 
  SPONSORS' business, & took a peek at our first Rush bottom job
  which I'm anxious to get started on, & complete!!!
     BLESSINGS, & "THANKS" for stopping by, & reading our

SIX PLEASANT SURPRISES !!!
  ON SON DAY (SUNNY WITH A DASH OF CLOUDS) AUGUST 8TH,
  2010 @ 9:08 AM EST

      Yesterday was another payoff from using my internet approach
  "PHOTO BUZZ" to advertising my business, "COUNTRY SEAT 
  WEAVERS" TM on the internet which scored six (6) antique chairs' 
  (BLESSINGS) to Hand Cane & Rush with FOUR (4) COMING FROM
  THE SPONSOR OF CENTRAL VIRGINIA'S "ANTIQUES ROAD
  SHOW"!!!
       * IMPORTANT NOTE:  Curved Hand Cane Chairs' which are
  done not lying perfectly flat against the curved hand caned frame
  have a shorter life span than those that lie flat against the
  frame!!!
       The undoing of your wasted financial investment for having your
  "CURVED" Hand Cane Bottom done comes from the pressure, stress
  of your weight when using a "CURVED" Hand Cane Back or Bottom
  where the Hand Cane does not lie flat against the frame!!! 
       * God Bless, & "THANKS" for stopping by, & reading our 
  "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVERS' REFLECTIONS'" TM!!!
       "CHEERS" with a health drink!!!
