* "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

  Chairs', &  deliver them on Monday afternoon!!!  This is very 
  unusual for me to do any Chairs' whatsoever on the week-end;

* WEEK ENDING ON A THUD!!!
  ON FRY DAY (SUNSINE TO COMPLETE STEERING BOX IN-
  STALLATION) NOVEMBER 12, 2010 @ 7:25 AM EST

       ***** IF YOU ARE INTO MAKING BASKETS A MUST SEE
  YOU TUBE VICTORIAN FARM 15/36 VICTORIAN BASKET
  MAKING WHICH I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY FACINATING!!!
       Friday morning breakfast with the usual fare, & I will really
  end the week with an ear deafening "Thud" courtesy of dry rotten 
  rungs on "Rush" Bottom Chairs which continue to break making the
  restorations' "Crawl" at an extremely slow pace; but I will over 
  the next few days complete these "Rush Restorations", & move
  on to the next set of "Rush" Bottom Chairs!!!
       But my "Priority" focus this Fry day will be to complete the in-
  stallation of the "Steering Box" on the '42 Chevy, & get the "Ad-
  vertising '42 Chevy" up, & running again which really requires a   
  great deal of work, & doing its' job again, & of course the rest
  of my Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving routine will fall back into place
  again as usual be it Hand Cane, Machine Cane, Rush, Splint or 
  Wicker Restoration!!!  
       BUT THE PASSING OF THE BUSINESS TORCH continues which
  requires a lot of extra work if you want to do it the right way;
  but will be completed by the end of the year as scheduled!!

* NEVER ENDING
  ON THURS DAY (DROUGHT ENDED WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE)
  NOVEMBER 11, 2010 @ 8:07 AM EST

       *Today will be a jam packed day with lots to do in the way of
  Seat Weaving Work to do, "Rush" in particuliar is what's staring
  me in the face when I finish breakfast, & get cleaned up for the
  day!!!
       And when one set of "Rush" Bottom Chairs is completed I will 
  be looking at "three (3)" more sets of "Rush" Bottom Chairs to do
  with one set of six (6) coming from the "Charlottesville, Virginia"
  area which is currently being "Hand Made" for their Client as I 
  "Post" on this Blog today!!!
       ***** Being able to "Square Up" Rush Chair Bottoms" using a
  "RUSH RULER" TM makes weaving "Rush" Bottom Chairs "EASIER"
  to do when you have more than one set to do!!!  And yes, it works
  every single time!!!

  ON WINDS DAY (BRIGHT BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY) NOVEMBER
  10, 2010 @ 8:50 AM EST

       * Today has just begun, & with breakfast over I will begin my 
  day in earnest doing "Rush" Chair Bottoms until they are com-
  pleted!!!  And I'm not looking forward to it nor will I enjoy it either!!!
       And that's a very good sign that the time has come to pass
  the "Torch of Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" to the next genera-
  tion which I have already done, & am in the process of completing!!!
       But I'm sure I will continue to get a real "Kick" out of some of
  these "Forum" answers!!!  Where do they get those crazy answers
  from anyway?  It no longer upsets me because there's nothing I
  can do about it anyway: but I still feel sorry for those poor "New
  be Chair Caners', & Seat Weavers' whom sadly will "Pay the Price"
  for believing, & following "Forum" "Dead Wrong Advise" allowed by
  none other than a "Forum" Moderator!!!  ONE THING FOR SURE  
  IT IS NOT, & WILL NOT COME FROM ME, OR "THE ONLINE
  CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVERS' DIRECTORY!!!
       * Believe it or not it's 9:35 PM EST, & I'm just finishing up
  my day, dang it, "Rushing" Chair Bottoms!!!  Yes, tomorrow will be
  another day of "Rushing" Chair Bottoms, & I'll like it even less;
  but somebody has to do it: BUT IT WILL NOT BE ME FOR MUCH
  LONGER THANK GOODNESS!!!

* RUSH BOTTOMS, & A RELIC SYEERING BOX!!!
  ON TWO'S DAY ( WITH LOADS OF SUNSHINE) NOVEMBER 9, 
  2010 @ 8:43 

       * A few years ago I purchased a two page "HOW TO" for
  doing "BLIND CANE" from Frank's Cane & Rush Supply for a11
  of a $1.50 + S & H ect. which is no longer available, & now that 
  information is available for $50.00 + S & H!!!  Wow, I'm ex-
  trtemely happy I purchased this info years ago when I did!!! 
       * Yes, MUN DAY was "MAGICAL" for me yesterday because 
  we finally located a "RELIC" from World War 11 hanging up in a
  Junk (Bone) Yard School Bus Storage Bus for I don'T know how
  long, & at this point in time I really don't care how long because  
  "Thankfully" it is now in my possession, & will literally be put back   
  into "Service" after more than 69 years of hanging around in a bus  
  in an extremely "RARE" 1942 MS (on the "ID PLATE") Chevrolet,
  which by the way was used on a farm in South Dakota to support
  the war effort, for my Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business!!!
       * What are the odds of finding a 1942 Chevrolet Steering Box 
  hanging up in a Junk (Bone) Yard School Bus Storage Bus after 69
  years???
       *And of course we drove my 42 Chevrolet to the Junk Yard
  more than a hundred miles away (ROUND TRIP) to pick up this  
  steering box to our amazement, & surprise!!! 
       * NOW I'M BACK TO FILLING MY DAYS WITH CHAIR
  CANING, & SEAT WEAVING UNTIL I GET ANOTHER ITCH TO
  DRIVE DOWN ANOTHER COUNTRY ROAD IN SEARCH OF
  ADVENTURE, IN THE 42 OF COURSE!!!

  * ON SON DAY (SUNNY, & CHILLY) NOVEMBER 7, 2010 @ 8:04
  AM EST

       * It's breakfast to eat, & no "Rush" treat for the remainder of
  the day!!!
       * I'll "SQUARE UP" two "Rush" Bottom Chairs at a time, & 
  weave the "Rush" until completed!!!  Dang it!!!
       * By the way the "Wordsmith" Jenna whom writes the BLOG
  "COLD ANTLER FARM" wrote another great post the other day
  entitled, "A GOOD MORNING"!!!
       * & yes, I "MAKE IT A GREAT DAY" with ever morning the
  good Lord gives me!!!
       In a few days I'm going to "SLING" some "BLACK INK" about
  a really questionable "PRIVACY POLICY" on a "FORUM" which I
  personally think is not all the "PRIVACY POLICY" it's cracked up 
  to be!!!  
       * THE WEBSTERS'S DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF THE 
  WORD * "PRIVACY" IS REALLY QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THE 
  DEFINITION THIS "FORUM" GIVES TO THE WORD "PRIVACY"!!!
       * DEFINITION:  "CONCERNING OR RESTRICTED TO
  ONLY ONE PERSON OR SPECIFIC PERSONS"!!!
