* "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

  ON THURS DAY (SUN NEE + ?) OCTOBER 7, 2010 @ 9:15 AM
  EST

       Wrapping up a Wicker Child's Chair, & then I'll turn my 
  attention to three Lincolnshire "Rush" Bottom Chairs from the 
  1880's which have absolutely nothing "Square" about them which
  makes them extremely difficult to "Square Up"!!!
       Actually "SQUARING UP" "Rush" Bottom Chairs Where
  Absolutely nothing is "SQUARE" is very easy if you use a "RUSH
  RULER" TM because it does the "SQUARING UP" For You!!! 
  Absolutely no measuring, can it get any "EASIER"???
       * But we must have some "Real" fun Chair Caning, & Seat 
  Weaving Chairs, Right???
       * The "COLD ANTLER FARM" BLOG I still drop by , & read
  every once in a while because it CHALLENGES YOU, EDUCATES
  YOU, ENTERTAINS YOU, & INSPIRES YOU!!!  
       * One of my projects in the future will be to build a Dulcimer,
  or Guitar Kit, & learn how to play it as a result of reading the
  "COLD ANTLER FARM" BLOG!!!

* TRANSPORTATION WOES SILVED!!!
  ON WINDS DAY (CLOUDS< SUN ?) OCTOBER 6, 2010 @ 9:09
  AM EST

       * For my"SPECIAL VISITORS" whom follow "FORUMS" !!!
       "RUSH" Bottoms with "Square Front Corners", & "Round"
  Backs!!!
       The absolute only "Method" for getting the "Rush" Bottoms
  "Square", & be able to complete this "Shape" of "Rush" Bottom
   "Correctly" is to use a "Modified Framing Square" for the "Lay
  Outs'" which make them very easy to do after you do the "Back"
  Fillers" for the "Round Back"!!!  You "Square Up" the "Front" Rail,
  like you normally would, "Weave", & Complete the "Rush" Bottom
  Chair!!!
       * ANY QUESTIONS I"ll BE MORE THAN GLAD, & MORE
 THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER!!!
       With this extremely "Short" starter "Share to" "How to"
  answer completed I will now begin my day with a pair of "Rush"
  Chair Bottoms to do!!!
       * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for stopping by, & reading our

* WHERE HAS MY TWO'S DAY GONE???

  ON TWO'S DAY (SUN & CLOUDS) OCTOBER 5, 2010 @ 3:28 PM

       Another day filled with errands which are just about completed
  so it's back to the "Rush" for a long day of weaving especially when
  you are starting your day around 4 o'clock in the afternoon!!!
       * If you Hand Cane Chairs, & do not do the rest of the "Chair
  Caning, & Seat Weaving Crafts" you may be leaving a lot of
  money on the table!!!
       * Besides, once an "Antique Shop" locates a Chair Caner, &
  Seat Weaver whom does it "ALL" they consider themselves not
  only lucky: but fortunate to have located a craftsman of this
  caliber!!!  And they no longer have to call a craftsman to do
  Hand Cane, another for Mahine Cane, & Splint, then another for 
  Rush, & Wicker, etc.!!!  And the bookkeeping is simplified too!!!
       * Once you learn the "BASICS" for doing "RUSH" BOTTOM
  CHAIRS you can do any "SHAPE" of "RUSH BOTTOM CHAIR" on
  on the planet, & it is "NEVER A PROBLEM"!!!  OUR "SHARE TO'S"
  will teach you the "BASICS'"!!!

* ??? DAY + "WICKER", & "RUSH"!!!
   ON MUN DAY ( & IT 'S NO BLUE EITHER) OCTOBER 4, 2010 @
  8:07 AM EST (WITH BLESSED RAIN!!!)

       * Today I hope, that's what keeps me going, to locate those 
  bearings I need so badly to tighten up my steering on my daily
  driver for "Country Seat Weavers'" so I will not have to locate
  a 40's 50's Steering Box, & do all of the time consuming work
  to install it, & modify it to make it work properly!!!
       * And yes, it will be "Wicker Time", & "Rush Time" before
  I go to bed tonight to meet this week's Weaving Schedule, & along
  the way I'll take some more "Share To" "Photo Buzz" for your
  Website!!!
       * AND USING MY "RUSH BOTTOM PUSHER TOOL" TM 
  ALWAYS MAKES IT EASIER, & FASTER TO DO A "RUSH
  BOTTOM CHAIR" BECAUSE YOU DO IT IN ONE STEP ALL 
  AT THE SAME TIME!!!

       *"BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for dropping by, & reading our

* SEARCHING DAY
  ON SON DAY (CLOUDY ? +) SHOCKTOBER 3, 2010 @ 7:52 AM
  EST

       Today we'll complete a Childs Wicker Rocker from the Turn  
  Century using Lloyd's Loom Wicker, & do some fun things completely
  unrelated to Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving for a real beginning of  
  the week change!!!
       * And it will continue into the beginning of the week!!!
       * But that doesn't change the fact of having to do my week-
  ly "STORYBOARD" schedule with some give, & take in it!!!
       With our search for a steeing box continuing we'll see the
  Junk (Bone) yard today for disappointments & treasures' from
  the past!!!  Prices for this "Rusty" gold from the past continue
  to go up so we'll store, & search for more to sell another day!!!
       But that doesn't change the fact that I have nine "Rush" 
  Bottom Chairs' to do, two "Splint" bottom Chairs' to do, and a
  small "Acorn" RocKer to do which will be a personal project for 
  me to do, & keep for personal use!!!
       * & by the way the "Acorn" Rocker came from a great
  "Treasures'" to restore shop in Petersburg by the name of 
  "THE TRADING POST"!!!
       * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS' for dropping by, & reading our
  "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING REFLECTIONS'" TM!!!

  * P S.  Being Selected by the "SPONSOR" of Central Virginias' 
  "ANTIQUES ROADSHOW" to do all of their Chair Caning, &
  Seat Weaving Restorations gives "YOU" the "ABSOLUTE BEST
  REASON" to have "COUNTRY SEAT WEAVERS" TM do your re-
