* "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

       *  Received a very nice "Thank You" E-Mail from a fellow
  Chair Caner, & Seat Weaver in Mississippi for helping him with his 
  "Rush" problems; but I really didn't do anything but "SHARE TO"
  a few years of my "RUSH KNOWLEDGE" with him !!!  Needless to
  say it was deeply appreciated!!!
       * SO IF YOU HAVE "ANY" CHAIR CANING, OR SEAT WEAV-
  ING PROBLEMS WE MAY HELP YOU "SOLVE" JUST E-MAIL US
  & WE WILL BE MORE THAN GLAD, & HAPPY TO HELP SOLVE
  THEM TO THE BEST OF OUR "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAV-

* D DAY FOR RUSH APPROVAL!!!

  ON FRY DAY (+ WEATHER CLEARING) SHOCKTOBER 1, 2010 @
  7:46 AM EST

       * PUNCHING A TIME CLOCK would be an easier way to track 
  how long it "TAKES" YOU TO COMPLETE A "HAND CANE CHAIR"
  but just "JOTTING DOWN THE TIME IT TAKES" will give you an
  idea of how much you are "REALLY MAKING AN HOUR", & whether 
  you "NEED" to change your pricing or not!!!  This will definitely help
  you to be "FAIR TO YOURSELF" which may require an explaination
  to your "CLIENTS"!!!
        * Wet "Rush" Bottom Chair pick up in the rain yesterday proved
  temporary Carburetor fix would hold up until new Carburetor re-
  placement arrives from north of the border in Canada!!!
       So it's off to the races today for "Machine Cane" & "Rush
  Bottom" Chair deliveries!!! 
       & I'll do another "Rush" Bottom Chair, & continue working on a
  very cute Child's Wicker Rocker from the turn of the Century which
  requires the use of Lloyd's Loom Wicker for the restoration!!!
      & THE MACHINE SHOP WILL BEGIN WORKING ON THE 
  TOOLING FOR MANUFACTURING "MY" SHORT RUN "RUSH
  BOTTOM PUSHER TOOL" TM  TODAY!!!  TOOLING WORK
  HAS BEGUN!!!  LOOKING FORWARD TO USING FIRST RE-
  DESIGNED "RUSH BOTTOM PUSHER TOOL" TM!!!

  ON WINDS DAY (RAIN A TERRIFIC SIGHT TO SEE) SEPTEMBER
  29, 2010 @ 8:53 AM EST

       It's a Lovely Rainy Day (did I say that) here in Central 
  Virginia as I begin my day with my usual Breakfast, & plan my
  work scedule for the day!!!
       But before I begin my day I'll add a couple more "Photo
  Buzz" to the * NEWBE CHAIR CANER, & SEAT WEAVER IN-
  STRUCTIONS PAGE!!! 
       A Verbal "Post" with "Photo Buzz" comes the absolute closest
  to giving a definite answer for Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving 
  Questions without doing Videos' which would really hit the old
  Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving answers' dead center on the "Bench
  mark" for "ANY" Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving answers'!!! 
       * VIDEO ANSWERS' WILL BE MY GOAL IN THE FUTURE!!!

* WILL I FINISH, & WILL IT HOLD?

  ON TWO'S DAY (CLOUDY + RAIN I PRAY) SEPTEMBER 27, 2010
  @ 7:55 EST

       Will complete a Lincolnshire Rush Bottom Chair from the 1880's
  this morning, & hopefully deliver it this afternoon if the repairs to
  my carburetor hold!!!  If not, I will have to order a carburetor from
  north of the border in Canada which will take days, & bring my
  Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business to screeching halt!!! 
       Got my fingers crossed, & hoping for the best because I've 
  done everything I can humanly possibly do!!!
       Finished that Lincolnshire "Rush" Bottom Chair, & I will be really
  happy to see it go; but there are three (3) more Lincolmshire
  problems to do with irrgular front, & back rails along with four 
  curved sides to deal with also!!!  But this Chair taught me a real
  lesson on "HOW" to do these types of Chairs, & that is to get
  them perfectly "Squared Up" before begining the weave!!!
       * Now we're going to do a Child's Wicker Rocker from the turn
  of the century for a change of pace!!!

  ON MUN DAY (DAWN AWAITS + BLESSED, PRECIOUS RAIN)
  SEPTEMBER 27, 2010 @ 6:32 AM EST

       I'm up early (AGAIN) to start my day with a "Machine Cane" 
  Chair to complete, & a "Rush" Bottom Chair to do from scratch!!!
       Don't drink "COFFEE" to start my day, or doing the day so
  that's "WHY" I end my E-Mails' with "CHEERS" WITH A HEALTH
  DRINK!!!
       Will take a peek at the "COLD ANTLER FARM BLOG" which
  I follow which had an interesting "Post" the other day asking her 
  readers' "WHY" were they reading the "COLD ANTLER FARM
  BLOG", & what they liked, & did not like about it, & should she 
  add anything, or change anything about "COLD ANTLER FARM
  BLOG"!!!  And the majority of the answers' were simply to keep
  it the way it was written because she is really an excellent word-
  smith when it come to putting words together on her "BLOG"!!!
       I think this is an excellent way to keep your "BLOG", 
  "FORUMS", "TUTORIALS'", "WEBSITES'", & VIDEOS" "FRESH",
  & "REVELANT" for your "SPECIAL VISITORS" don't you?
       * Taking some "SHARE TO" "PHOTO BUZZ" for newbe Seat
  Weavers' doing "Rush" Bottom Chairs' which I have not included
  in my previous "Tutorials: but a question has come up, & the
  only way to clearify it is with a tutorial with "PHOTO BUZZ"!!!
