* "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

  until later in the morning!!!
       With Breakfast down the hatch, & a partially filled calendar
  for the day I will begin my day by finishing up winterizing my diggs
  for the winter (EARLY, YES); but it will be finished with no
  surprises in store when winter arrives!!!
       Then to the junk (bone) yard we will go, & see what gives in 
  the way of early junk (bone) yard treasure(s) to purchase, & resell
  later down the road!!!  Yep, I'm a junk (bone) yard dog!!!
       And then I'll finish prepping that "Bee Hive" Porch Rocker, &
  put a "Herringbone "Splint" Back in it, & call it a wrap for the day
  where Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving is concerned!!
       * Monday will not unfold as planned due to waiting for, of all
  things , a UPS "Rush" material shipment so hopefully Tuesday we
  can pick up, & them install a 42 Chevy Steering Box Assembly so
  we can hit the road again, & HAVE SOME FUN!!!

* NOT A USUAL FRY DAY!!!
  ON FRY DAY (SON SHINE AGAIN) OCTOBER 29, 2010 @ 7:53
  AM EST

       Breakfast awaits, loading my flatbed, & hitting the road for a
  few hours' of work, & search!!!  Really be glad when I locate those
  extremely rare, & elusive truck parts, specifically a late 40's
  steering box which is my reason for driving to an area noted for
  Copperheads', & Rattlesnakes' in their junk (bone) yard cars', & 
  trucks' which means I must be very alert, & careful doing my
  work, & search today!!!  Hopefully they can pull the parts!!!
       So there will be no Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving done today
  with the exception of purchasing supplies for restoration work to
  be done at the "TOP" of the week!!!
       Had a terrific day today, beautiful weather, the leaves turning
  their beautiful colors as I drove down a road I hadn't driven down 
  in a long time only to see more subdivisions!!!  How far out do I 
  have to move anyway to get peace, quiet, & solitude???
       Had more than a hundred (100) miles of peaceful driving in my
  42 Chevy today before I was ambushed earlier than I expected by 
  city traffic which makes me want to move to the sticks sooner than
  I can possibly do so!!!
       * And I think I may have located the late 40's truck parts' I
  I need to convert my steering box to a two (2) piece steering box
  making it easier to replace parts down the road when I need to do
  so!!!  Now I wiil either pull them myself or get the bone yard to
  pull them for me then no critters to worry about at all!!!

  ON THURS DAY (CLEARED OFF + SUNSHINE) OCTOBER 28, 2010
  @ 7:58 AM EST

       It's a day for a "FREE SPIRIT" to roam, & forget about Chair
  Caning, & Seat Weaving for a few hours, & see what the possibilities
  are on the other side of town a hundred miles down the road!!!
       * EXCLUDING, & IGNORING "Chair Caners', & Seat Weavers'
  World Wide by not making your "Seat Weavers' Journal" Sub-
  scription "AVAILABLE" to "ALL" "Chair Caners', & Seat Weavers'"
  is not the "RIGHT WAY" to build a Business Relationship with the
  "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business Community" at Large!!!
       * THIS WAS MY FAVORITE TWEET on my "SEATWEAVER
  GURU" TWITTER SITE!!!
       * "FOTO BUZZ", how really important is it anyway?  Well,
  today I received a call from Charlottesville, Virginia concerning
  doing Six (6) "Rush" Bottom Chairs, & as a result of having "FOTO
  BUZZ" on my Website AD the potential Client could see samples of
  my work for future reference, & decision making!!!
       * Want to pass this along!!!  Another great post by Jenna the
  Word Smith on the Cold Antler Farm Blog titled "Rose In The 
  Storm"!!!

       * Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving will be put on the back 
  burner today because the "FREE SPIRIT" in me has taken over,
  & ...
       * Got a call today from a Client early this morning which
  changed the direction of my day; but I was more than happy 
  to do it because it made some space for more chairs which
  I badly needed, & it was for a great Client whon I will do
  more work for in the future!!!  The turn of the century extra
  large Walnut Rocker is gone!!!
       Tomorrow will be one of those  mystery days', & that's
  for sure!!!  Should prove to be interesting!!!
       * We'lll start our day, & week off with a bang with a visit
  to our favorite "Junk Shop", "THE TRADING POST" here in the
  tri cities of Virginia, Colonial Heights, Petersburg, & Hopewell!!!

  WIENER GROTTA DBA "AMERICAN HANDS" WANTS TO BE 
  FRIENDS WITH ME ON "FACEBOOK", & OF COURSE I JUMPED
  AT THE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING HER FRIEND ON "FACE
  BOOK"!!!
       * Face's that really tell a story are the best subjects for
  a Chair Caner, or Seat Weaver, & not just anyone Caning, or
  Weaving a Chair is my humble opinion, so not just anyone will do!!!
       * Now to start my very, very short Seat Weaving day by
  cleaning up, & wrapping up this reallly large turn of the century
  "Splint" Bottom Rocker and then...I 'm going to learn semething
  I have "NEVER" done before!!!
       * And it's MAKING THE FIBRE RUSH KNOTS DIS-
  APPEAR which has never been illustrated to my knowledge which
  I will do within the the next few days!!!
       * IT IS SIMPLY DONE BY OVER LAPPING THE "FIBRE
  RUSH" ABOUT THREE (3) INCHES, & THEN SPLICE THEM TO-
  GETHER WITH A VERY FINE WIRE, A FISH LINE WHICH IS
  TRANSPARENT, OR A HEAVY THREAD THAT"S COLOR COM-
  PATABLE TO YOUR "RUSH"!!!
       * You will definitely need to wear leather gloves if you choose
  to use fish line!!!
