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.!
|
* 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!

Primitive circa 1810 corner chair from Virginia!
I personally did the "Aged" Splint bottom in this primitive Va. circa 1810 corner chair I found in a antique mall several years ago! It"s a real "Keeper" and has been passed on to the next expert chair caning
generation!

* When you have been literally given "The Gift of Life" as my beautician put it this past Tuesday as a result of a success- ful "Open Heart Surgery"
you really do look at all of your life through a very different pair of glasses!!!
* Will complete this post after Sunrise in the morning...after I go back to bed, & finish getting my
night's rest!!! Well, with my usual Breakfast over, & Meds taken I will begin my day with one of my New Year's Resolutions' which I think is the most important, A Before
Breakfast Morning Devotional to start each, & every day of 2011!!!
* & in the next few days I will Hand Cane a Hand Cane Chair for Show, & Tell which
is long over due for the "Country Seat Weavers'" workshop!!!
But first a dowel will have to be replaced, & then it will be stripped by hand using rags (No Steel
Wool) because you will not get that speckeled steel wool finish because of the Steel Wool
getting into the grain of the wood, & then refinished!!! * "BLESSINGS",

checked for the 42 Chevy in antisipation of driving it at the top of 2011 with my Surgeon's, & NP's "Blessing"; but have finally deceided to wait a couple of week's longer before I
do so!!! Want to see more healing of the incision on the outside of my chest before I begin driving
again, & that of course will make me feel more confident about the outcome of my first (1st)
driving experence after "Open Heart Surgery"!!!
* ON FRY DAY (AFTER MIDNIGHT POSTING

* This morning I'm going to be picked up by a dear
high school side kick, & be given a short break from this "Cabin Fever" which wasn't on the "Radar" or planned for in November, but very, very fortunately was
diagonosed correctly at a small city ER, & taken care of as a result of that ER visit for "Back
Pain" which turned out to be "Back Pain" resulting from a "Large Aneurysm"
between my "Heart", & "Lung" which was "Life Threatening"
of course!!!
* ON THURS DAY (SON SHINE ON MY SHOULDER = STEPPING OUT) DECEMBER 30, 2010 @ 8:33 * Got my breakfast, & Meds out of the way, & was really ready to go when he arrived!!! Nice to see these four walls go away for a few hours!!! And

Weaving Business is conceerned because it FINALLY has been passd on to the next generation Chair
Caner, & Seat Weaver!!! & I have really done so with 100% confidence, & would not have

ever again!!!
* ON WINDS DAY (AFTER MIDNIGHT) DECEMBER 29, 2010 @ 12:20 AM EST
* After Sunrise, Breakfast, & Meds this morning I will share with you how that tube of "TOOTHPASTE" helps
you always to find the base "MATCHING STAIN" for any Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving
project you are working on for a Client!!! * Now back to bed to catch a few
Z'S until dawn's early light, & then I will complete my "MATCHING STAIN" Post!!!
And then School's out until another interesting subject comes along!!!
* Now that you have completed your "ACETONE TEST", & have learned (always) what your final
coat is, be it lacquer, or shellac, etc., now you simply take a clean soft cloth, & clean up , the area where you did your "ACETONE TEST" with "TOOTH PASTE", & learn what your
original base coat stain is, & you are ready to "MATCH STAINS'", & complete your Client's
work!!! * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for dropping by, & reading

daily routine is behind me, &... * The problem "Rush"
Bottom Chair still haunts me so I'm going to give it another shot today, & see what I can figure out
so this "Rush" Bottom Chair can be completed, & delivered!!!
* In a little while we'll discover that our "TOOTHPASTE" can be used for more than just brushing
our teeth!!! In this case helping us to accurately "MATCH STAINS" for our Chair Caning,
& Seat Weaving Touch Ups, & Refinishing Needs for our Clients' without having to take any Chair to
a Furniture Refinisher ever again!!! It's MONEY in your pocket in learning how to really "MATCH
STAINS"!!! * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for stopping by, &

* Stll searching for that elusive resting position!!! Otherwise
the "Pain" continues to diminish!!! And I am just five (5) short days away from driving: but
I have dceided to wait a couple of extra weeks to drive & just maybe, almost positive, I'll wait until
the end January to do so!!!
* ON MUN DAY (CLOUDS, SON, & A BEAUTIFUL SNOW
SCENE) DECEMBER 27, 2010 @ 9:15 AM EST
* Got up today a little
earlier than usual so that I could get some Oatmeal fuel in this ole body of mine, & take the Meds which will be a part of the rest of my life, & begin the day by going back to bed after I post a few things
on this "BLOG"!!! * Sometime before the day is over I will post the ACETONE post for "MATCHING STAINS"!!! This is only the first step in this time proven process
for accurately "Matching Stains" so that their will be no drips, no runs, & most important
"No Errors" in getting a "Museum Quality" "Matched Stain"!!!
* After Breakfast I read the Post from the COLD ANTLER FARM BLOG which was interesting, & as
usual I'm looking forward to continuing reading this BLOG because of the "Wordsmith" whom writes it, & the many surprises written in along the way!!! *
And now, YES, it is back to bed this AM so...the remainder of this "Post" will begin later!!! * It's now 10:59 EST, & I back up &...will post this after- noon
after lunch!!! * We will need the same items for the "ACETONE TEST"
to correctly "MATCH STAINS"!!! # l: Acetone # 2: Q Tips # 3: A Very Soft Rag * Chemical Reaction will be as
follows: # 1: POLYURETHANE: Sheds # 2: LACQUER: Disolved in 30
Seconds With Rubbing # 3: VARNISH / SHELLAC: Gets Sticky / Gels
* Tomorrow we will discuss what TOOTHPASTE, yes TOOTH PASTE has to do with "MATCHING STAINS"!!!
And yes, it works every single time!!! * FOUR MORE DAYS, & NEVER,

* ON SON DAY (SNOWING) DECEMBER 26, 2010 @ 9:41 AM EST
* At
the urging of my Son to get up after several calls I have finally done so, & doubled up on my Breakfast as
usual, & got the dreaded Meds taken for the day, & now will turn my attention to helping my
student redo that "Rush" Bottom Chair for hopefully the last time!!!
* If you are trying to "Match a Stain" using the final finish, (Lacquer, Shellac, etc.),
& the actual stain itself you are not "Matching" the original stain!!! It is absolutely
impossible to do unless you want to create a real mess to undo!!! *
You first must accurately determine what the final finish is, & this is accomplishd by doing a "Denatured Alcohol"
test on an inconspicuous spot on the Chair to begin learning what the original stain is!!! * ITEMS NEEDED!!! # l: Denatured Alcohol # 2: Q Tips
# 3: A Very Soft Cloth * Chemical Reaction will be as follows: # 1
SHELLAC: Disolves # 2: VARNISH: Slow Reaction to Varnish
* YOU CAN ALSO DO AN ACETONE TEST WHICH I WILL POST TOMORROW!!!
* Taking a break, & I will be finishing up this post later in the day!!! This is due to a lot of pain
this morning!!! * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for stopping by, &
