* "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

* WRONG LAYOUT FOR RUSH BOTTOM SEAT=WASTED TIME!!!
  ON SAT UR DAY (?) AUGUST 28, 2010 @ 7:02 AM (GOING BACK
  TO BED) EST

     I can't begin to count the times when I first began weaving 
  Rush Bottom Chair Seats' that I "REDID" those Rush Bottom Chair 
  Seats' over, &  over again until I was shown all of the "RUSH   
  RULER" TM "TRICKS" for "LAYING OUT", & "SQUARING UP" a   
  Rush Bottom Chair Seat to stop wasting my time, & increase my
  bottom line or "PROFIT MARGIN"!!!
     If you are doing a "Rush Bottom Chair Seat" with a different
  front & back rail configuration, & you measure across horizontally
  you have already "MEASURED WRONG", & "LAYED OUT" the
  "Rush Bottom Chair Seat" "WRONG"!!!  
     Check back in a few days, & I will "SHARE" the "TUTORIAL",
  & "PHOTO BUZZ" with you which will very clearly show you "HOW
  TO" CORRECTLY "LAY OUT", & "SQUARE UP" A RUSH BOTTOM
  SEAT WITH DIFFERENT FRONT, & BACK RAIL CONFIGURA-
  TIONS!!!

* FORUM POST STILL TROUBLESOME!!!

  ON THURS DAY (CLEAR SKIES, SUNNY) AUGUST 26, 2010 @
  8:44 AM EST

       *IT STILL REALLY, REALLY BOTHERS ME BUT...
       * "SHOUTING OUT" the "FACTS" is all that I can do to 
  counter act the Posts on some Chair Caning Forums' which sometimes
  gives advise which can only be compared to a Chair Caner, or Seat
  Weaver giving advise to a group of school children with a very lively 
  (verbally posted unillustrated) fairy tale story!!!  
       * If there is a better, or more efficient method to Hand Can-
  ing, or  Seat Weaving a Chair I will "SHARE" the information with
  you, and be more than "HAPPY" to tell you on which BLOG, WEB-
  SITE, or if it's on YOU TUBE TM etc. so that you can absolutely
  maximize your Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business "PROFIT
  MARGIN"!!!
      No Sermonizing here please, it's a "MORAL COMPASS ISSUE"
  for me because it's simply just "THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT THING 
  TO DO" Chair Caners', & Seat Weavers'!!!

* WORKING ON RUSH TUTORIAL, & MORE!!!
  ON WINDS DAY (?, BLUE SKIES, CLOUDY) AUGUST 25, 2010 @
  (UGH) 8:47 AM EST

       * Today I will start on the tutorials, & "PHOTO BUZZ" for 
  those four (4) Rush Bottom Chairs' with completely different
  measurements for the front, & rear rails as well as the side stiles,
  & "SHARE" with you "HOW TO" very easily "MASTER" those types
  of Rush Bottom Chair Seats', & it is "EASIER" than you think!!!
  You simply "SQUARE UP" with your "RUSH RULER" TM the correct
  way, & begin weaving!!!
       * Laying out, & measuring any Rush Bottom Chair incorrectly 
  causes you to start the Rush Bottom Chair over, & over again until 
  you get it correct which "ROBS" you of your precious time, & more 
  importantly your "PROFIT MARGIN" from weaving that Rush Bottom
  Chair!!!

* MYSTERY DAY!!!
  ON TWO'S DAY (CLOUDY, ?) AUGUST 24, 2010 @ 8:34 AM EST

       Today I'll begin the day with mystery until I look at a couple of
  vans, & see what they're all about!!!
       What I would really like is a 30's 1 ton Ford van to go along
  with my 40's Chevrolet truck for another rolling advertising vehicle
  for my "Country Seat Weavers' business!!!
       & patiently wait for the "RUSH" samples from the different
  vendors here on the East Coast to arrive, & then deceide which
  vendor to use so I can do the "ANTIQUES ROADSHOW" Sponsor's
  four (4) 1880's Rush Bottom Chairs' to a "MUSEUM QUALITY
  RESTORATION!!!
       They will serve as some very challenging, & interesting Rush
  Chair Bottom tutorials with "PHOTO BUZZ" because every single
  one of them have completely different dimensions' for the front,
  & rear rails which are really very easy to "Square Up" once you
  have been "SHARED" the formula using a "Rush Ruler" TM which
  easily does the "Squaring Up" for any Rush Bottom Chair with
  different dimensions for the front, & rear rails you will ever do
  at your Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving business!!!
