* "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

* THE LAST DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST DAY OF THE WEEK!!!
  ON SAT UR DAY (SUNNY + CLOUDS) SEPTEMBER 4TH, 2010 @
  7:12 AM EST

       I now realize not having a FORUM leaves me at a great dis-
  advantage to really answer Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Questions
  like they really need to be answered without the "MISS IN-
  FORMATION which really causes "NEW" Chair Caners', & Seat
  Weavers to begin Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving businesses with
  the wrong foundation!!!
       There is "NEVER" talk of using "WITNESS MARKS" when
  laying out a "Machine Cane Chair" or using a "STRIAGHT EDGE"
  (both sides 1/4" thick) when laying out a Round Machine Cane 
  Chair (before disassembly) to have it accurately "LAYED OUT" 
  Vertically First, then Horizontally Second!!!

* CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING MORAL COMPASS!!!
  ON FRY DAY (AFTER MIDNIGHT) SEPTEMBER 3, 2010 @ 12:13
  AM EST

       One of those restless mornings', simply can't fall to sleep!!!
       * According to Biblical time the new day starts in the evening!!!
       Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving has been part of my life going
  on thirty seven (37) years, & my "MORAL COMPASS" would not/ 
  will not allow me/let me intentionally "SHARE" with "ANY" "CHAIR
  CANER, or SEAT WEAVER" "DANGEROUS" or MISS INFOR-
  MATION that is not based on "FACT"!!!
       * EXAMPLE???  Doing "CURVED" Hand Caned Chair Seats???  
  If I had visited someone's "WEBSITE", "BLOG", "FORUM", or 
  "DIRECTORY", & "LEARNED" A "BETTER METHOD" for doing
  "CURVED" Hand Caned Curved Seats I absolutely would "SHARE"
  it with my followers so that they would have a "BETTER PROFIT
  MARGIN"!!!  
       * LEFT OUT "YOU TUBE"; but doing "CURVED" Hand Cane
  Chair Seats will be "SHARED"  on "YOU TUBE" down the road!!!
       Which direction does your "MORAL COMPASS" point to as a
  Chair Caner, or Seat Weaver?  Share this "FACT FILLED"
  BLOG, & "ONLINE CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVERS' 
  DIRECTORY" with a Chair Caning, or Seat Weaving Friend!!!
       Today's outdoor project (Complying with Virginia's Turn Signal
  Law for Antique Vehicles) is going to be "IFFY" depending on our 
  foe or friend Hurricane Earl!!!  Weather holds we'll get er done!!!

       Have you ever had something really haunt you!!!
       * That E-MAIL I received about the "DANGEROUS" MISS IN-
  FORMATION being POSTED on the "SEAT WEAVING, & CHAIR 
  CANING FORUM" moderated by ? "SADLY" will not change a thing
  until someone steps up to the plate, & GIVES SEAT WEAVERS', &
  CHAIR CANERS' A SECOND VOICE because PAST POST usually
  are an excellent indicator of what the FUTURE POST will be be-
  cause the "DANGEROUS" MISS INFORMATION will continue to
  be POSTED by the same individual POSTERS!!!
       Was expecting the worst scenario today when I went to see the
  the mechanic about my '42 Chevy Steering Box, & the news was not
  good it was great!!!  Only need 4 parts to rebuild the Steering Box
  after 68 years of use which will cost less than a "BEN FRANKLIN!!!

* FREE STYLING FOR TRUCK PARTS, & WORK ETC>!!!
  ON MUN DAY (I'M A TRAVELING MAN TODAY) AUGUST 30TH, 
  2010 @ 8:48 AM EST

       * Today will be one of those interesting mystery days' because 
  I will not know what's around the next bend, & don't want to know
  what's around the next bend until I see it!!!  I'm even going to
  take a mystery route to make it even more interesting!!!

       Every day is a "SPECIAL DAY" as far as I am concerned, &
  this Monday was no exception!!!
       Today we hit a home run, & struck out where Chair Caning,
  & Seat Weaving business is concerned!!!  
       I have been planning on manufacturing a "NEW" Chair Caning
  Product, & have been waiting on the "TOOLING" so I can manu-
  facture a few prototypes for distribution so that I can get some
  market feedback; but again the "TOOLING" was not ready!!!  
       Disappointed yes; but I have been promised it will be done
  within a couple of days so we will give this machine shop one last
  shot before I go elsewhere!!!  
       Then I stopped by an old Client to have some wood working done,
  & left with a Turn of the Century Office Chair (really have always
  liked these) to have the back recaned; also the bottom after 
  the upholstery has been removed!!!
       Tomorrow Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply will be called for supplies
  & then we will play the waiting game again ( which is done intention-
  ally) and have some very interesting things to do while we wait!!!
       Two things come to mind which are bone (JUNK) yards, & junk
  shops!!!  And lets not forget "FISHING"!!!

* RUSH BOTTOM WEAVING

  ON SUN DAY (A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY) AUGUST 29TH, 2010 
  @ 8:12 AM EST

       Today I will post a couple of the first "PHOTO BUZZ" for
  "CORRECTLY" "SQUARING UP" "ANY" Rush Bottom Chair Seat
  Bottoms' with Different Front, & Back Rail Configurations'!!!
       * UNNECESSARY Rush Bottom Seat Weaving is ALWAYS the
  result of not "LAYING OUT" or "SQUARING UP" your "RUSH
  SEAT BOTTOM" CORRECTLY"!!!
       But before I do that on this beautiful sunny sunday it's bone
  (JUNK) yard time out (AGAIN) hunting for rusty valuable ("GOLD") 
  vintage car, & truck parts!!!
       I know I've said this before but I've actually had a bone
  (JUNK) yard picker from Minnesota hunting 40's Chevrolet truck
  parts for me which I know would be extremely difficult for me to 
  locate again today!!!
       Unfortunately those 40's Chevrolet truck parts' are not re-
  produced today because of the very limited demand, & the fact 
  that a very few World War Two (2) cars',& trucks' are even in  
  existence today, much less on the road like mine!!!  EXTREMELY
  RARE!!!
       Then I will resume stripping our in house Hand Cane Chair, &
  begin Hand Caning the Hand Cane Chair Seat today for "SHOW, &
  TELL"!!!
     * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for dropping by, & reading our
