***** 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"

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.!
|
* 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!

* DAY 40 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!! * ON DAY 40 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!! * I'm just two (2) days shy of
the six (6) week window they give you before giving you the green light to drive!!! So I'm going
to wait a few more days longer before I make my first attempt to get behind the wheel, & take
a short spin around the block to see what my chest reaction is to the driving!!!
* But one of the first things I want to do is drive down to "Old Town" Petersburg, Virginia and go to
the "Trading Post" which is one of my really favorite "Junk Treasure Shops", & see what's new!!! & just maybe I'll find something interesting to pur- chase, & bring back
to life for the second time around!!!
* ON SAT UR DAY (RAIN, SNOW ?) JANUARY 8, 2011 @ 9:35
AM EST
* With the usual Breakfast of Oakmeal Fuel out of the way, & my Meds taken I will spend the day without anything to do with Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving
in the picture!!! * This gives my life balance which I do often because
there is so much more to my life than just Caning, & Weaving Chairs' etc.!!! *
Got my daily dose of the "Cold Antler Farm Blog by reading the latest Post today, & especially enjoyed
reading about the "Walking Stick" which I could relate to because I have a "Walking
Stick" which I got off of my "Grandfather's Homeplace", & turned it into my personal "Walking
Stick" from cutting it off of the "Grapevine" to refinishing it to my personal taste!!! &
of course I really enjoy using my "Walking Stick" because of its' Family History
etc.!!! * "BLESSINGS', "THANKS" for stopping by, & reading our "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING REFLECTIONS'" TM!!!

* It's past noon, & I am, believe it or not just starting my
day after going back to bed this morning for a short nap!!! * Looking forward to
"Pain Free Days" hopefully in the very, very near future!!!
* Still having "Pain" six (6) weeks after "Open Heart Surgery" has me a little more than concerned!!!
* ON FRY DAY (MORE AFTER MIDNIGHT MADNESS) JANUARY 7, 2011 @ 3:22 AM EST
* I have often wondered what those "Chair Caners', & Seat Weavers' get from making "Posts'"
on the internet which are "Dangerous", "Inaccurate", & create more work for
their fellow "Chair Caners', & Seat Weavers' by "Posting" "Dangerous, &
"Inaccurate" Information for any method "How To" in reference to "Chair Caning,
& Seat Weaving'!!! " It's like asking for driving directions
from a total stranger to reach your destination, & the total stranger intentionally gives
you the wrong directions, & then chuckles' or laughs' about what they have done afterwards'!!!
Nice total strangers, huh? Or should I really say nice total strangers', Chair Caners', & Seat Weavers' from "HELL"!!! * Now that Breakfast is done, & the
Meds are taken for the day I'll begin to prepare the '42 Chevy for driving duty the first
(1st) of the week "Snow, or no "Snow" because it has a "Sub Low" which gives me
the capability of driving it anywhere regardless of what the weather conditions are!!!
* And more work continues to come in courtesy of this Web Site, "Online Chair Caning, & Seat Weavers'
Directory"!!! To be exact another set of "Rush" Bottom Chairs' will either be dropped off or picked up the first of the week depending on whether I can drive or not!!! Hopefully I can
pick them up!!! * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for stopping by, &

Heart Surgery" I will have a very pleasant, & successful first (1st) drive since November 19,
2010!!! * Seems like the longest 43 days of my life in spite of the
fact that I really know it just isn't so because it's really a mind over time thing!!!
Anyway that's the plan for today unless an event changes my plans' between now, & then so I will cross
my fingers, & every- thing else, & hope, & pray for a successful outcome!!!
* ON
THURS DAY (ENJOYING THE SON SHINE) JANUARY 6, 2011 @ 9:22 AM EST
* It's 9:26 AM EST, & I have finished my health breakfast so the folks claim whom manufacture Oakmeal
fuel , & the Meds have been taken, & I'm ready to start my day whether I'm ready or not!!! * The "Rush" Bottom Chair has finally been completed, & now
all I have to do is deliver it which I simply cannot do at the present time due to my self imposed
drivng restrictions due to my "Open Heart Surgery" so it will be a few more days before I can
do so!!! Then the Client as well as myself will breathe a great big sigh of relief!!!
* TODAY I FINALLY WENT AHEAD A SET UP A YOU TUBE CHANNEL FOR "COUNTRY SEAT WEAVERS'"
WHICH IN HIND SIGHT IS LONG OVER DUE!!!

* If you are following my "Open Heart Surgery" Blog I know it's boring because it's really a personal way for me to be able to document what's happening in the present
with my "Ticker" Business so that I can accurately share the journey with my "Surgeon",
& "NP"!!! * Still having some real concerns, & "Pain
Issues'" around my Sternum which I personally feel need to subside a lot more be-
fore I begin driving again!!! & Yes, I need to begin driving again ASAP, & that's no laughing matter!!!
* ON WINDS DAY (SON SHINE ON MY SHOULDERS TODAY) JAN U ARY 5, 2011 @ 9:36 AM EST
* With my usual Breakfast of Oakmeal Fuel, & Fruit out of the way with
Meds taken I will take a few "Fotos" of this absolutely gorgeous Hitchcock Chair for all to enjoy!!!
* It's a Hitchcock Chair that is a piece of history from one of Richmond,
Virginia's "Miller & Rhoades" stores' which everybody loved when they were in business
years ago!!! * The "Curved" "Machine Cane" Bottom
in this Hitchcock Chair will have to be done differently so I will take "Foto's" etc. &
Post a tutorial on the "Method" to use at a later date!!! Then you will get a "Museum
Quality" "Machine Cane" Chair Bottom!!! * Every single time I
read a "Post" about "Squaring Up" a "Rush" Bottom Chair I know that I need
to do a "You Tube" Video showing how really easy it is to "Square Up" a
"Rush" Bottom Chair setting the record straight once, & for all!!! And I'm going
to let the "Rush" Bottom" "Squaring Up" information, & video speak
clearly, & very loudly for itself!!! * "BLESSINGS",

had "Open Heart Surgery" due to not being able to drive, & run all of my errands for myself!!!
But I ask for little anyway be- cause that's the way I've always been during my lifetime!!! And besides my "Genuine" Friends already know that there will be a pay back for
their kindness somewhere down the road becasuse thats always been the way I have done personal business,
& business business!!! * My "Motto" is "ME THIRD", "GOD
FIRST", "FAMILY, & FRIENDS" SECOND", & it has akways worked out beyond my
wildest dreams, & expoctations, so if it ain't broke don't fix it!!!

* Today, this afternoon
to be exact a "NEW" Client will be bringing by some Chair Caning, or Seat Weaving for us to do; but I do not know what kind of Chair work it will be until I see it: but it will not make any diffrence because
"Country Seat Weavers" does it all!!! * Now that I had said
a little I will head back to bed, & finish this post at the Top of the morning!!!
* This afternoon my "NEW CLIENT" brought "Country Seat Weavers" two (2) "Machine
Cane" Chairs' to do, & one of them just simply knocked my socks off because of its' Miller,
& Rhodes Richmond, Virginia history with its "Hitchcock Chair" Painted Splat Back will be posted on this Web site tommorrow for all to enjoy!!! This is the only

* Walking everyday has now become a must do for me everyday
so I will make this another one of my New Year's Resolutions' along with eating a healthier diet, & less "Junk"
food in 2011!!! That "Wake Up" call keeps speaking to me as a result of that "Huge Surprise" "Open Heart Surgery" which was not even on the horizon because all of my
"Heart" Issues were being controlled by Meds so I thought!!!
* ON MUN DAY (AFTER
MIDMIGHT AGAIN) JANUARY 3, 2011 @ 12:27 AM EST
* I will Post
a paragraph which I read a few months ago, & I really think it is important enough to Post here on this Blog!!! * "IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WHERE YOU WERE DOING ALL
OF THE GIVING, YOU KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO START FEELING RESENTFUL, AND UN- APPRECIATED.
IF YOU HAVE A PERSONAL OR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT IS "ONE WAY" I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHANGE IT OR END IT NOW"!!! * And then I'll go back to bed,
& get some shut eye until dawn's early light!!! * Well, with nmy
usual Oatmeal Breakfast for fuel ate, & Meds taken for the day I will simply continue my R & R until January 15 of 2011 when I will take the plunge, & take a test drive to see what my "Chest"
reaction is to driving for the first time since November 19, 2010 when the life threatening "Aneurysm"
was discovered by "Dr. Lewis" at Southside Regional Hospital which is a small city hospital located
in Petersburg, Virginia!!! * Today I will order some Chair Caning, &
Seat Weaving Supplies in anticipation of getting back to work on the first (lst) of February
to finish up my work loose ends left over from 2010, & then quietly walk away from my life as a Chair
Caner, & Seat Weaver for the past thirty - six years turning the business over to a more than
capable early American craftsmen whom will serve his Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Clients with the
same "Museum Quality" craftsmanship I did!!! * I
built this business from scratch, & all this early American craftsman will have to do is build his Chair Caning,
& Seat Weaving business on what I built!!! Wish I could have done that because it would
have been much easier to do!!! * "BLESSINGS', "THANKS" for stopping

* DAY 34 AFTER * ON DAY 34 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!
* Will begin a fifteen (15) day count down beginning January 1, 2011
before I can begin driving again!!! This one is self imposed: but I really want to be safe instead
of sorry for jumping the gun before I personally feel it is o. k. for me to drive!!! Then in
another fifteen (15) days I will be able to return back to work, & it definitely will include more than
just Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Chairs!!! But I just simply don't know exactly what it
will be; but one of the things I am cnsidering is "Sand Casting" Vintage Car, & Truck Parts, Stove
Parts, etc.!!!
* ON SON DAY (A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT) JANUARY 2, 2011 @ 12:39 AM EST
* I had the good fortune to be given not good; but great advise
on "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" by a very knowledgeable, generous, & kind lady whom
had been "Chair Caning, Seat Weaving, & repairing, & restoring Wicker for more than twenty
- five (25) years before I ever thought about "Chair Caning, Seat Weaving, or repairing,
& restoring Wicker, & that advise, & knowledge has served me very well to this day for which I am
so very thankful!!! * Well, it's back to bed for the second early
morning in a row so I will bid you good night, & finish this post after Breakfast, &
Meds in the mornong!!! You'll enjoy this post when I recall some of the things this knowledgeable, kind,
& generous lady shared with me about "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" in the '70's
when I started "Caning, & Weaving Chairs"!!! * This
lady did not Cane Chairs' using the Traditional 7 Step Method, so I was introduced to the "Lock Step Method"
which phrase I "Coined" after I began using this method!!! She simply stated
she had changed the order of the steps in "Chair Caning" when she "Hand Caned Chairs'"!!! * Another one of her employees' told me "How" to "Square
Up" "Rush Bottom Chairs'" without having to do them over, & over again before
you get them done correctly!!! * This one "Tip" for doing
"Rush" Bottom Chairs' has saved me countless man hours in doing "Rush Bottom Chairs'",
& changed my "Bottom Line" where "Profit" is concerned for doing "Rush
Bottom Chairs'"!!! * Her son now runs the business!!!
Absolutely terrific "Chair Caners', & Seat Weavers'"!!!
* And the absolute very "Best" part of this story is we are still very good "Friends"
to this day!!! * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS for stopping by, &
