* "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

* DAY 7 AFTER OPEN HEART SURGERY!!!
  ON MUN DAY (BLUE ? FAR FROM IT) DECEMBER 6, 2010 @
  11:16 AM EST

       Just intending on the mending until December 17 when hopefully
  I'll get the green light from the "DOC" to get back to the day to
  day business of Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving!!!
       * And I'm going to look into dovetailing the business of "Sand
  Casting" to go along with my "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving
  Business!!!  Should make for a very interesting mix!!!
       Until then I'll put my two cents worth in in the form of a 
  "SHOUT OUT" about the missing steps' when doing "Chair Backs", 
  now being called "OVER THE RAIL" Chair Back Weaving!!!
       * You actually start the weaving doing the "STILES" when weav-
  ing the back of a "Binder Cane, or "Splint Back of a Chair to get
  a "Museum Quality" Weave!!!

  ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 5, 2010 @ 10:29 AM (SNOW'S GLOW IS
  GONE WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE!!!)

       * Each day takes less time for me to get through the morning

         * The "Caning, & Rushing" work is on the back burner until
  after the 17th of December, then I hope, & "PRAY" it will be
  back to business as usual with the "DOCS" approval!!! 
       * Until then...
       * While I was searching for something else I ran across my
  Copy of the World War 11 ""Rush Seats for Chairs" by Ruth B.
  Comstock published in August 1945 which can be gotten from the
  Library of Congress!!!  Interestng Reading to say the least!!!
       *  It states, "This publication has been produced in full
