* "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 19 AFTER

  * DAY 19 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       * Since having "Open Heart Surgery" I have had more than my
  share of "Ho Hum" days' so I'm really, really looking forward to the
  top of 2011 when I can start driving again, & I will be taking a
  completely different view of the world around me the second time
  around, & that's for sure!!!
       
       * & I will do little or no Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving, & just
  stick my head in the door at "Country Seat Weavers'" every once
  in a while to make absolutely sure everything is running smoothly!!!
       * Lunch was nothing to brag about, & in fact neither was my
  breakfast: but they are about to take a "Huge" change for the
  better "Thanks" to my "THANKSGIVING" mended heart!!!
       * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for stopping by, & reading our

* DAY 18 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

  * DAY 18 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!
       * This surgery has really made me stop, & make a "HUGE" 
  mental note to not take everything for granted which I really did
  before this life changing event!!!  I will be not just be "Thankful":
  but be "More Thankful" for my everyday "Blessings'"!!!

  * ON FRY DAY (SUN, CLOUDS, LINGERING SNOW) DECEMBER 
  17, 2010 @ 10:33 AM EST 

       * Breakfast, & Meds taken, & another day to be extremely
  "Thankful" for as I begin this Fry day AM!!!
       * I will fill in the events as the day unfolds!!!
       * When I have a hand cane job to quote that requires that
  the back, & bottom be done at the same time for stain matching
  reasons I quote it that way, & let the Client make the decision as
  to whether they want it done or not!!!  And there are no exceptions
  to the rule either!!!  If they still want only part of it done we
  put pencil to paper, & write up a work order stating what they
  want done, & at that time I state when the back is done (or
  bottom) at a later date I cannot guarantee stain matching due to
  the change of dye vat numbers'!!!

  * ON THURS DAY (OVERCAST + ?'S) DECEMBER 16, 2010 @ 8:50
  AM EST

       * Our weather check of peeking out the window this morning
  revealed the beauty of our second (2) snow of the season which
  was only a dusting: but never the less awe inspiring to behold!!!
       * With Breakfast finished, & Meds taken shortly it will be time
  to finish working with my student to complete their first "Rush"
  Chair Bottom, & it's going to turn out to be a "Museum Quality
  "Rush" Chair Bottom because the Client demands it!!!
       * And I've already learned that it's really not as easy to
  teach like an "Air Guitar", & be as effective as I should be; but
  with more patience than usual we will get er done!!!

* ON DAY 16 AFTER
  * ON DAY 16 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!
       Today I have less pain than I had yesterday so hopefully the
  pain will decrease with each passing day!!!  Hey, I'm thinking
  positive anyway!!! 

  * ON WINDS DAY (SUNNY + COLD WIND) DECEMBER 15, 2010
  @ 8:31 AM EST

       * With my traditional Oatmeal Breakfast over, & all meds taken
  I'm going to be a sitting in a chair teacher for a day, or however
  long it takes, & teach a student "How to" do a "Rush" Bottom
  Chair!!!  Should be an interesting experience because I've never
  had to teach this way before; but circumstances due to "Open
  Heart Surgery" make this absolutely necessary!!!
       * My student is doing excellent on his first try at doing a "Rush"
  bottom chair!!!
       * I'm showing him which way to twist the screwdriver like play-
  ing "Air Guitar" because I really can't even twist the screwdrive 
  to straighten out the"Rush' due to the "Open Heart Surgery"!!!
       * And this is done on both the top, & bottom of the "Rush"
  Bottom Chair at the same time!!!

* ON DAY 15 AFTER
  * ON DAY 15 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       * You simply cannot imagine the horrific pain you have after
  this surgery unless you have actually experienced it yourself!!!
       This past Monday I spent 12 hours in an ER trying to make
  sense of all of this, & to get some answers; but absolutely no
  luck; but lost everything as far as I am concerned, emotions, time,
  & money: but never the less a lesson learned not to ever do it
  again!!! 

  * ON TWO'S DAY ( VERY "THANKFUL" TO SEE THE SON SHINE)
  DECEMBER 14, 2010 @ 8:26 AM EST

       * Each time it snows', or rains' "Mother Nature" reminds me
  to "Feed te Wood" before I Hand Cane a Chair Bottom. or do a
  "Rush" Bottom, or "Splint" Bottom Chair!!!  After all they have been
  covered up for who knows how long since they received their last
  feeding!!!  It's just a personal preference (AND NO YOU DO NOT
  HAVE TO DO IT) I have been doing for the past 36 years!!!

       * SLOWLY, EVER SO SLOWLY I'M WORKING MY WAY BACK
  TO THE EVERY DAY WORLD OF DRIVING, & RETURNING TO
  "CHAIR CANING, SEAT WEAVING, ETC."!!!  
       * PATIENCE WILL BE "THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL KEY" TO
  RETURNING TO THIS NOT SO UNFORGOTTREN WORLD, WITH
  OUT HOPEFULLY, ABSOLUTELY NO SET BACKS, OR SURPRISE!!!
  
       * ON MUN DAY, (SNOW SURPRISE)  DECEMBER 13, 2010 @
  9:54 PM EST

       * THINKING ABOUT THOSE POST ABOUT WHICH "SHELLAC"
  to use on "FIBRE RUSH", & "MUTHER NATURE RUSH" made me
  "DOUBLE GLAD" I was not involved IN GIVING OUT "THIS
  ADVISE" ON ANY "FORUM"!!!
       * "I use very simply 2" cardboard samples with "FIBRE RUSH",
  & "MUTHER NATURE RUSH" wrapped around them stained wth
  both "CLEAR SHELLAC", & (AMBER) "ORANGE SHELLAC" so the
  "CLIENT" can see what the final finish will be so we are both on
  the same page with absolutely "NO SURPRISES" when they do
  pick up their finished "RESTORATION" from "COUNTRY SEAT
  WEAVERS"!!!
       * 'IMPORTANT NOTE":  I do not personally use "AMBER"
  or "ORANGE" SHELLAC beause you have no option to "DARKEN"
  this product if the "CLIENT" wants it "DARKER" because it was
  done when you applied it!!!  And the absolute only way you can
  reverse it unfortunately is to redo the "DAMN" "RUSH" BOTTOM
  CHAIR to get a "MUSEUM QUALITY RESTORATION"!!!
