* "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

* & ONE MORE TO GO!!! THEN MORE!!!
  ON THURS DAY (CLOUDY, & SUNNY) NOVEMBER 18, 2010 @
  7:12 AM EST

       It's a repeat of the grocery getter this morning which means
  a "Heart Health" walk to the local 7-ll to pick up a quart of milk
  for breakfast which I forgot (A SENIOR CITIZEN MOMENT
  YESTERDAY) in my mad rush to deliver the "Rush" Bottom Chaiors
  to the "ANTIQUE ROADSHOW" SPONSOR here in the great
  Central Part of Virginia!!!
       *And today we'll finish another "Rush" Chair Bottom for the
  "SPONSOR" of the "ANTIQUES ROADSHOW' here in Virginia,
  & I'll deliver that tomorrow!!!
       One of my clients made a remark yesterday cncerning my
  "Museum Quality" work after learning I do the "Rush" Chair
  Bottom work for one of Virginia's most expensive antique shop's
  "Gates Antiques", whose inventory is primarily 17th, & 18th
  Century Antiques!!!
       * Received the "Hand Cane Material" from our "NEW" "EAST
  COAST" Vendor which is just a mere two (2) days delivery from
  date of order which will no longer make it necessary to carry any
  inventory at all until actual job material needs are known which will
  make a huge difference in actual inventory on hand needed in the
  future!!!

  yesterday due to weather conditions!!!
       But that's all going to change when we complete the replica
  of a 40's box to go on the '42 Chevy then the weather will not 
  make any difference when deliveries can, & cannot be made!!!  
       * What will be around the corner as we drive the 42' Chevy
  north today using a different route as usual, we'll see!!!
       * "ANTIQUES ROADSHOW" SPONSOR was "Happy" with

* ANOTHER D-DAY TOWARDS THE FINISH!!!

  ON TWO'S DAY (IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT) NOVEMBER 16,
  2010 @ 12:09 AM EST

       * It's a little after Midnight, & I'm having a late night "Date"
  again with some "Rush" Bottom Chairs' which I'm not really thrilled
  about; but hey somebody has to do it when you're winding down 
  your business so the next generation can begin their business to
  carry on the Crafts' of "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" hopefully
  into the future for many, many years to come!!!  And of course
  I'll stick around as an advisor for as long as I'm "Needed"!!!
       * I'm a little more than anxious to sing my "Swan Song", &
  get out of the "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" Dodge City earlier
  that's all!!!
       * Breakfast had, & "Rush" glad because they're going out the
  front door to my "NEW" Client!!!  And then...

* ALL
  ON MUN DAY (& SUNNY TODAY) NOVEMBER 15, 2019 @ 8:36
  AM EST

      * Digging into my breakfast with three (3) "Rush" Bottom Chairs
  yet to do, & then for a quiet day of R & R!!!
       * It always amazes me that seats of Chairs are rarely the
  same dimensions', & each chair has to be "Squared Up" differently
  so it is important that you have an "EASY METHOD" for "Squar-
  ing them up" which is not so time consuming, & the "RUSH RULER"
  TM really does the trick with "NO RULERS" etc. because you just
  simply cut your "RUSH RULER" TM to the correct length for the
  back "Rail", weave your "Fillers", & check the front "Rail" for
  "Square" with your "RUSH RULER" TM, & complete "Rushing" your
  "Rush" Bottom Chair!!!  Sounds "EASY" doesn't it, "IT REALLY IS"!!!

       * WHICH IS MORE PROFITABLE QUOTING WICKER RE-

       * HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE HAVING THE

  YOU FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IT REALLY DOES MAKE
  A HUGE DIFFERENCE, ESPECIALLY ON THE BACK!!!
