* "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

* RUSH COLOR PROBLEMS
  ON THURSDAY (SUNSHINE = HAPPINESS) SEPTEMBER 9, 2010
  @ 7:29 AM EST

       Received my "RUSH" yesterday from my vendor, & I am not just
  a little bit dissatisfied with the "COLOR"; but very dissatisfied with
  the "COLOR" because it "ADDS" another step to the "RUSH
  WEAVING" process by having to "STAIN" the "RUSH" which trans-
  lates into losing your "PROFIT MARGIN" if that "STEP" has not 
  been quoted into the job!!!
       THIS WILL BE MY LAST "RUSH ORDER" FROM THIS 
  VENDOR!!!
       * HAVE FINALLY DECEIDED ON A FORUM NAME WHICH
  WILL BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE RUN OF THE MILL
  CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING FORUM NAMES!!!

* MACHINE CANE
  ON WNDS DAY (SUNNY +) SEPTEMBER 24, 2010 @ 8:50 AM
  EST

       Doing a Machine Job is one issue; but Undoing / Redoing a
  a Machine Cane Job is another issue altogether which ='s 
  absolutely no "Profit Margin"!!!
       * This can be eliminated by purchasing a 24" "CENTER FIND-
  ING RULE" from "WOODCRAFT" TM if you do not have one in your
  "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Toolbox", & using "WITNESS
  MARKS" to mark your centers between the "SPLINE GROOVE" and
  the inside of the "RAILS' (front, & back), & "STILES" (sides)
  "LIGHTLY" so that your "WITNESS MARKS" can be erased for a
  "MUSEUM QUALITY MACHINE CANE CHAIR JOB"!!!
       * SEE "SHARE TO" TM ABOVE IN "THE MISSING PUZZLE
  PIECES"!!!

  ON TWO'S DAY (SUNNY AGAIN) SEPTEMBER 7, 2010 @ 9:33 AM
  EST

       * Machine Cane Chair Spline Removal where someone used the
  gigantic "NO NO" of using "YELLOW GLUE" = absolutely a difficult,
  no fun spline removal for the day!!!
       * The standard GLUE RECOMMENDED for GLUING in 
  "MACHINE CANE SPLINES'" IS * "WHITE GLUE"!!!
       * You ask, WHY DON'T YOU USE A "SPLINE REMOVAL  
  TOOL", "THE STEAMER" for removing the extremely difficult   
  spline glued in with "NO" "NO" "YELLOW GLUE"?
       * SEE "CHAIR CANING, SEAT WEAVING UNIVERSITY
  FORUM" ON THIS WEBSITE FOR ALL OF THE RIGHT 
  REASONS', IN MY OPINION, NOT TO USE A "SPLINE RE-   
  MOVAL TOOL", "THE STEAMER"!!!

* UNIQUE NO MORE!!!
  ON MUN DAY (TILL SUNRISE) SEPTEMBER 6TH, 2010 @ 4:22
  AM EST

       Back in August I submitted an E-Mail with "Photo Buzz" for
  a "RICHMOND TIMES DISPATCH' newspaper article on "ODD
  JOBS" in the greater Richmond, Virginia area which would be
  selected by a committee of "STAFF REPORTERS' from the 
  "RICHMOND TIMES DISPATCH"; but did not make the cut as
  being "UNUSUAL" enough!!!
       The winners were as follows:  "A PIANO MAKER", 'A WOOD-
  WORKER, "DOLL HOUSES", A "FALSE TEETH MAKER", A TOUR
  GUIDE TELLING "GHOST STORIES", A PASTRY CHEF, & A 
  "BUTTERFLY FARMER" so "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING"
  is not as "UNIQUE" as we think it is!!!
       * So it is back to the drawing board for advertising, &
  publicity!!!
       * Hopefully the "RUSH" material will arrive tomorrow from
  Frank's Cane & Rush Supply on the West Coast so that I can
  getting back to doing one of the things I love to do M A K I N G
  M O N E Y!!!
