* "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

* MUCH NEEDED REST!!!
  SAT UR DAY (BLUE SKIES, CLOUDS, RAIN GONE) NOVEMBER 6,
  2010 @ 9:14 AM EST

       Son day morning bright, & early after breakfast I will begin
  a "RUSHING" marathon which will consume the"TOP" of the
  week until the "BINDER CANE" arrives from my "NEW" "EAST
  COAST" Vendor, & then I'll start back on a "Porch Rocker", &
  the Child's "Acorn" Rocker doing the restoration before I begin
  the weaving, & bring back the remainder of the "Dumpster
  Diver's"  "Real" found treasures' which two (2) of the three (3)
  found are, I think in my opinion!!!
       * And everyday I working on wrapping up my presence on
  the internet in a much, much smaller package!!!  It will be less
  work, & that will be a very good thing in the long run, & I'm
  looking forward to it with absolutely no regrets whatsoever!!!

* QUOTING WICKER PRICES!!!
  ON THURS DAY (RAINING, & I LOVE IT) NOVEMVER 4, 2010 @ 
  9:51 EST

       Sleeping in later, & later now that I am not as involved in
  in the work side of my Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business!!!
  Now that I see what I've been missing I wish I would have done
  this much, much sooner!!!  It's really a great feeling to be able
  to do this AND SEE THAT THE DEPENDABILITY IS THERE
  & THE WORK IS MUSEUM QUALITY, & DELIVERED ON 
  SCHEDULE!!!
       * Got a really good "LAUGH" from one of the "FORUMS" the
  other day about how to "QUOTE WICKER RESTORATION WORK"!!!
  I have always, as long as I have been doing "WICKER RE-
  STORATION "QUOTED" RESTORATION WORK BY THE "SQUARE
  FOOT" (THE AREAS WHICH NEED RESTORED), & it has really
  worked out very well for me because I have always been solidly
  in the financial ballpark where I belong, & being more than fair with
  my clients, & myself!!!

* ?
  ON WINDS DAY ( CLOUDY WITH PRECIOUS RAIN COMING)
  NOVEMVER 3, 2010 @ 9:32 AM EST

       Usual Breakfast, & not having Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving
  on my mind due to glue ups for 24 hours, & then it's back to the
  Seat Weaving, then in a "RUSH" again!!!  Again? Yes, again!!!
       * Kicking back more with a very watchful eye on my Chair
  Caning, & Seat Weaving Business due to beginning the step down
  from owner to advisor so it will maintain the same Museum Quality
  Craftsmanship, & Service, & it's not easy, believe me, letting my
  Business Baby go after thirty-six long, very happy years as a
  result of all the terrific individuals I've met through the years!!!
       For some strange reason all that has been coming in to weave
  lately are larger than usual "Porch Rockers" to do so we are  
  currently on number two (2) out of four (4) to do!!!  And three (3)
  of the four (4) are "Splint", & the last one is "Binder Cane"!!!  And
  I will be "Twice As Glad" to see them go out of the door to their
  owners!!!
       * Tomorrow I will finish up the second of the four "Porch
  Rockers" which were rescued from the "DUMP"!!!  I know if the
  "Real" owners could see them now they really would want them
  back that's for sure.  I know I would because one of them is
  a "BEE HIVE" "Porch Rocker" which I have never seen before!!!
  And the Child's "Acorn Rocker" is a real keeper also!!!

* SELECTION DAY FOR CANING, & CANDIDATE!!!

  ON TWO'S DAY (A SUNNY DAY 4 VOTING) NOVEMBER 2, 2010
  @ 10.35 AM EST

       Breakfast has come, & gone, & now I'm beginning to settle 
  into my Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Day after making a very, 
  very short business trip which will not be necessary again I have
  learned!!!  That sounded like a winner to me, YES, YES, YES!!!
       As usual the 42 Chevy gets lots of attention everywhere I
  drive it so it always give me the opportunity to talk about my
  Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business!!!
       The fist task on my agenda for today will be to partially
  "BLEACH" a Porch Rocker which had been painted White, then
  I'll "FEED THE WOOD", & put a "HERRINGBONE" "SPLINT"
  Weave in the back, & then ditto the bottom!!!  Then "RUSHING"
  time will begin until completed!!
       * Still a "BABY" oo "NOVICE" where a computer is con-
  cerned so I think this "WINTER" I'll take a computer class so 
  I can expand my computer horizons for the better on this Web
  site, & more!!!

       I"m finishing up breakfast, & will begin work on a couple of  
  Porch Rockers today, & hopefully will wrap the "BEE HIVE" Porch

  long overdue!!!  Will be twice as glad when it's finally over!!!
       * The "WIND DOWN" will continue in all areas of life!!!
