* "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 26 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!


  * DAY 26 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       * I really don't have much to say about my recovery except
  that it appears to be on track as the incision continues to heal,
  & the pain (Hooray) contnues to daily decrease, & that is really
  more than welcome to this really tired ole soul: but above all else
  I am so very "Thankful" for getting a new lease on life which this
  "Open Heart Surgery" has given me!!!
       * This is being posted so that I can personally keep track of
  my "Open Heart Surgery" Journey back to "Driving", & my Chair
  Caning, & Seat Weaving Craft World, & whatever I choose to do
  after all of the loose ends are caught up due to the "Open Heart
  Surgery"!!! 
      

  * ON SAT UR DAY (OVERCAST X MAS DAY) DECEMBER 25, 2010
  @ 8:34 AM EST

       * With Breakfast out of the way, & by the way I am eating
  double portions of breakfast, & lunch so that I can put on some
  of the weight I lost due to the "Open Heart Surgery", & not
  more than I need to gain back hopefully!!!
       * Teaching anyone "How to" "Hand Cane Chairs'", do"Rush
  Bottom Chairs'", do "Splint Bottom Chairs", etc., & not teach them 
  "How to" "MATCH STAINS" on any type of these Chairs is giving
  an incomplete "Chair Caning Class" because sooner or later your 
  students' are going to have to "MATCH a STAIN", & they haven't
  been given the knowledge, or tools to do do!!! 
       * And sadly it is a very easy, & simple thing to teach your
  student to do!!!
       * Tomorrow I will begin a very short; but extremely accurate,
  & factual verbal post on "Caning, & Staining"!!!

* DAY 25 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!


  * DAY 25 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       * I've stopped asking myself what if I had gone home on 
  November 19, 2010 instead of taking that very last test the ER
  Doc wanted me to take!!!  He was very insistent, & convinced me
  to take that last test to look for an aneurysm which I did because
  this was a test no Doc had ask me to take in the past year!!!  &
  that's what the Doc found, & the rest is history!!!  Without a
  doubt I know Gods hand was in all of this, & it really will change
  the remainder of my life forever!!!
       * I have some very important things' to do now!!!

  * ON FRY DAY (PAST MIDNIGHT) DECEMBER 24, 2010 @ 12:56
  AM EST

       * I will now focus on other things related to "Chair Caning, &
  Seat Weaving in this Blog instead of just Chair Caning, & Seat
  Weaving!!!
       * The "Binder Cane Rockers'", & the "Rush" Bottom Chair re-
  mained stacked up until I can go back to work in February, &
  get them done!!!  Then I'm going to take a permanent vacation
  from Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving "UNTIL"!!!
       * The Client whom owns the "Binder Cane Rockers'" came by
  today because He had not heard from me, or seen me stop by my
  favorite shop in Petersburg, Virginia, "THE TRADING POST", &
  reasoned He's either extremely busy, or something is "Wrong"!!!
  Well, He learned something was wrong, & had been fixed, & I
  was on the mend, & would be doing his "Rockers'" the end of
  January, or the beginning of February, & was happy to wait!!!  
  Just take your time, & get well, He said leaving a "Christmas Cake"
  to enjoy over the holidays!!!  I might add He is a "NEW" Client!!!
       * It's 11:14 AM, & I have finally gotten up for the day: but
  this schedule will not last forever so I'm going to really enjoy it
  while I can!!!
       * Had breakfast earlier this morning around 9 AM along with my
  Meds, & simply went back to bed to get a little extra sleep which
  I really needed because I'm still not getting a good night's rest
  due to the "Pain" , & simply not finding that comfortable sleeping
  position yet!!!
       * & yes, the Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving continue as I mend
  from my "Open Heart Surgery"!!!  Do you have a back up plan due
  to not being able to do your Client's work for several weeks, or
  months like I have!!!

  *  BLOGCATION TO BEGIN CHRISTMAS EVE, & WILL CONTINUE
  UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!

  * DAY 24 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       * Sleep is still an issue as a result of the fact that I am a
  very light sleeper, & I toss, & turn on top of that so I will just
  have to learn how to deal with it until I completely heal!!!

  * ON THURS DAY (AFTER MIDNIGHT) DECEMBER 23, 2010 @
  1:13 AM EST

       * I have done a lot of Chairs during my lifetime, & have never
  taken a penny from each Chair job to benefit, & bless others; 
  but having had this "Open Heart Surgery" has really made me re-
  think my priorities in life in a way that I have never done before!!! 
       * In 2011 I am going to put aside a simple single dollar ($1.00)
  from each Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving job, & at the end of the
  year donate the proceeds to my local worthy community charity
  in the name of my business "Country Seat Weavers", & make it an
  annual event in the years' to come!!!  Of course I'll match the
  Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving proceeds from Caning, & Weaving!!!
       * IN A FEW DAYS I WILL BEGIN TO TAKE THIS WEBSITE,
  & EDIT IT, & DECEIDE IN WHAT DIRECTION I WANT IT TO
  GO!!!  I KNOW THAT THE TUTORIALS WILL BE TAKEN DOWN,
  & AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE WILL BE REPLACED WITH
  A CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING VIDEO WHICH CAN, &
  WILL REPLACE ALL OF THE TUTORIALS!!!

       * Today a dear friend from my high school days dropped by
  for a few hours to visit, & was more than kind enough to run
  us up to the store to pick up a few groceries before ending his 
  visit since I still cannot drive!!!
       * And I took my third (3rd) walk today to continue building, &
  getting more of my strength back so I can begin driving again at
  the top of the year sometime in January!!!

  * ON WINDS DAY (OVERCAST) DECEMBER 22, 2010 @ 9:15 AM

       *  With breakfast, & Meds out of the way for the day I am
  going to go back to bed again for the second time this week, &
  then get up, & make my final attempt to "Finish" that "Rush"
  Bottom Chair once, & for all, & finally get it out of the way, &
  on its way to my Client!!!
       * Read a Blog the other day from here in my home State of
  Virginia, & the Blogger mentioned how boring, & dull one
  dimentional, & one subject Blogs were so I'm going to make my
  Blog here on this Website more than just about Chair Caning,
  & Seat Weaving!!!

       * I know the pain from "Open Heart Surgery" will eventually go

  is a deep pain that words cannot adequately describe, & one that I
  have never experienced during my entire lifetime!!!

  * ON TWO'S DAY (TO EARLY TO TAKE A PEEK AT THE

       *  Will have a month to do a serious "Storyboard", & really

* DAY 21 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       Pain wise I'm still having a lot of trouble finding a comfortable
  position to sleep in, & get a good night's rest so this morning I'm
  am going to go back to bed, & start my day later which will not
  make any difference because I simply cannot do anything until after
  the top of the year in 2011!!!
       * In spite of being very apprehensive today I took my first
  walk today for six (6) blocks to, & from the 7/11 without any
  problems what so ever!!!  Tomorrow I will tackle a small incline, &
  walk to the drug store!!!  And gently push towards the top of the
  year when I will start driving again!!!

  * ON MUN DAY (BRIGHT BEAUTIFUL SON NEE DAY) DECEMBER

       * Meds away, & Breakfast is over, & I'm going back to bed!!!
       * Later, ... & it's now 11:33 AM, & I'm finally up, & at em 
  to start my day!!!
       * And it's back to my student, & that "Rush" Bottom Chair!!!
  This has really been frustrating for me because I cannot even pick
  up a "Short Wide Bladed Screwdriver" to push the "Rush" around
  to get it striaght!!!  But hopefully today we will turn the corner,
  & finish it up!!!
       * Posting on my "BLOG" everyday has given me an overview of
  what I have been doing, & has made me realize I'm really not going
  in the direction I want to go nor am I achieving the goals' I want
  to achieve as far as the internet is concerned!!!
       * So those goals will be some of my New Year's resolutions!!!
  Yes, it's that time of the year again!!!

* DAY 20 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!
 
*DAY 20 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       I'd rather sleep in everyday; but my Meds make it absolutely
  necessary for me to keep a get up, & go to bed schedule so that I
  can take my meds around the same time everyday so they can be
  extremely effective, & do the job they were meant to do!!!  Just
  simply cannot monkey around with this Meds' business!!!

  ON SON DAY (OVERCAST) DECEMBER 19, 2010 @ 8:33 AM EST

       * Yesterday's breakfast repeated for today along with Meds
  makes for another beginning of a day for which I am more than
  "Thankful" as a result of the events which have occured over the
  past few weeks!!!
       * If Dr. Lewis the attending ER physician at a small city  
  hospital has dismissed my "Back Pain" as merely "Back Pain", &
  not looked for "Back Pain" due to an "Aneurysm" (THE SIZE OF A
  GOLF BALL) between my heart, & lung I would not be hunting, &
  pecking on this computer this morning!!!  I'd probably be, yes,
  pushing up Daises!!!
       * This afternoon I'm going to make a valiant attempt to
  finish teaching my student how to do that "Rush" Bottom Chair, &
  simply get it out of the way so it can be delivered!!!
       * IN A FEW DAYS I'M GOING TO BEGIN DIMANTLING
  THIS WEBSITE, & THEN I'LL DECEIDE IN WHICH DIRECTION
  I WANT TO GO WITH THIS WEBSITE FOR THE FUTURE!!!
