***** 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"

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.!
|
* 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!

Primitive circa 1810 corner chair from Virginia!
I personally did the "Aged" Splint bottom in this primitive Va. circa 1810 corner chair I found in a antique mall several years ago! It"s a real "Keeper" and has been passed on to the next expert chair caning
generation!

* ANOTHER MYSTERY WEEK!!! ON SON DAY (DON'T KNOW YET) OCTOBER 31, 2010 @ 12:40 AM EST (AH SUNSHINE WITH CLOUDS)
It's past midnight, &
I haven't gone to bed yet so here goes... 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!!! * "BLESSINGS",

* 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!!!

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

work on the dutchments / repairs for the "Child's "Acorn" Rocker!!!
* Got a good laugh about a "NEW METHOD" for "MAKING THE FIBRE RUSH KNOTS DISAPPEAR"
which has been in existence since 1986 which is a whopping 24 years ago Chair Caners', &

* 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!!! * "BLESSNGS", "THANKS"

& 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!!!
