* "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 47 AFTER

  * ON DAY 47 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       * I'm positive everyone is getting sick, & tired of reading about
  Day Number this, & Day Number that; but if you've ever had "Open
  Heart Surgery", & ( I really truly hope not) you would be double
  "Thankful" for each, & every day there after!!!
       *  What really amazes me is I still have "Chest Pain" after all
  of this time in regards to the "Healing" issue!!!  Will really be double
  glad when the healing process is completed, & I have "Pain Free"
  Days!!!  And they cannot arrive soon enough!!!

  * ON SAT UR DAY (EARLY AM MADNESS AGAIN) JANUARY 15,
  2011 @ 2:15 AM EST

       * Life without Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving has been very
  stress less for which I am very "Thankful, & look forward to
  more days the same!!!
       * But come the 1st of February it will get very, very hectic
  because I will have to begin the task of doing all of the work I
  could not do due to the surprise "Open Heart Surgery"!!! 
       And I really did not have the "Foggest Idea" that I was simply
  just days away from dying from "Heart Disease" according to the
  ER Doc.!!! 
       This would be a "Wake Up" call to anyone, including me, to really
  drastically "Change" their lifestyle to have "Better Health"!!!  And 
  that's what I've done which includes "Exercise", & a much more
  "Healthy Diet"!!!
       * 9:05, & just finishing my usual Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel
  with Fruit, & having takien the dreaded Meds I will start my day
  with not a lot on my plate; but TV, & plain ole R & R until Monday
  morning, NO Chair Caning, or Seat Weaving!!!
       * Will of course read the BLOG that I really enjoy reading,
  "COLD ANTLER FARM"!!!  It's # 1 on the BLOG hit parade as far
  as I'm concerned!!!
       * I really thought the Chair Holding Fixture developed by one
  of the Forum members' was really neat; but after contacting the
  creator I learned the labor, & materials will run around $3500.00
  to build yourself one so that would really make me "Think" twice 
  before I would invest labor, & time in building one, & just simply
  continue to use my old set ups which I have been using for years', 
  & years' which has served me very well "Thank You"!!!

* DAY 46 AFTER

  * DAY 46 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!
       
       * Still sixteen (16) days' shy of being able to go back to work
  again; but I do not know at doing exactly what at this point but
  I probably will return to "School" at some point in the very near
  future, & take a "Sand Casting Course", & do something with that
  knowledge when I finish "School"!!! 
       This is another one of those Crafts like Chair Caning, & Seat
  Weaving where not very many Craftsman do it so it gives you a
  lot of options as to what direction you want to go in be it "Antiques",
  "Vintage Automobile Parts'", Jewelry" etc.!!!

  * ON FRY DAY (THANKFUL FOR THE SUNSHINE) JANUARY 14,
  2011 @ 9:21 EST

       * This has been a typical morning with my usual Breakfast
  of Oatmeal Fuel easten, & my Meds' taken to relexing for a few
  moments to deceide which direction my day will take!!! 
       * And this will include going back to bed this morning to catch
  an additional forty (40) winks or so, & then get up, & really start
  my day over again!!! 
       * And another day where absolutely NO Chair Caning, or
  Seat Weaving will be done, & this is helping me to get this
  out of my system after my doing it for thirty six (36) years!!!

* DAY 45 AFTER

  * ON DAY 45 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!
      
       * On Day 44, Wednesday January 12, 2011 after "Open 
  Heart Surgery" I drove my '42 Chevy Truck for the first (1st)
  time since November 24, 2010 with mixed feelings' as to what 
  the out come would be!!!  Drove much further than I should have, & 
  longer than I should which left me extremely sore, so I am going
  to, yes, take a breather for a few extra days until the next 
  time!!!  Then the trips will be shorter with shorter trip times until  
  I feel up to taking longer trips' with longer trip times'!!!

  *ON THURSDAY (THE SUN HAS SET) JANUARY 13, 2011 @
  7:07 PM EST

       * On Wednesday I delivered the last "Rush" Bottom Chair
  from a set of four (4) to the "Sponsor" of the "Antiques Road
  Show" for "Central Virginia" which was a huge change for me
  because I introduced the work of the "New" Craftsman for the
  "Country Seat Weavers" Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving business
  operation!!!  And I'll be introducing the work of the "New"
  Craftsman" to the remainder of my Corporate Clients'!!!  And
  the reaction has been welcomed with open arms because of the
  caliber of the work, "Museum Quality"!!! 
       Yes, I'm done, finished, gone, or how ever you want to put
  it' but the business lives on with a more than able, & "NEW"
  "Craftsman" taking the helm at "Country Seat Weavers"!!!
       * We also picked up a couple of "Rush" Bottom Chairs from 
  another "NEW" Client in Richmond, Virginia!!!
       * Tomorrow we will order some "Rush", "Binder Cane" etc.
  so that we can whittle down the pile of chairs' to do in our shop!!!

* DAY 41 AFTER

  * ON DAY 41 AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!

       * Today I'll take the battery out of the house, & put it back
  into the '42 Chevy, & see if I can't crank er up, then tomorrow
  on my six (6) week anniversary after having "Open Hear Surgery"
  I will, with fingers' crossed, take that first (1st) test drive around
  the block to see if its a go at driving again, or will the waiting
  game begin all over again!!!

  * ON SON DAY (EARLEY IN THE MORNING DARKNESS) JANUARY
  9, 2011 @ 1:04 AM EST

       * I have a "Rocking Chair Stool" I made from a "Wicker Rocker"
  which had seen its better days as a "Wicker Rocker", & use it
  when I "Hand Cane Chairs'", & its a project I will finish while I am
  mending from "Open Heart Surgery"!!!  Will post a "Foto" of it so
  you can see what it looks like!!!  Anyway I am going to stencil a
  "Chair Caning Cross Word Puzzle" on it, & will take a "Foto" of that
  also when it is finished!!!  
       * It eliminates the "Standing Business" when you are "Hand
  Caning" a Chair Bottom, & it allows you to sit at a comfortable
  height for "Hand Caning" a "Hand Cane Chair"!!!
       * Today I will put aside anything remotely having to do with
  "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving", & watch a Football Game which I
  very rarely do but I am a little bit curious about what the Eagles
  are going to do so I'll watch, & see!!!
       * With the usual fare of "Oatmeal" for Breakfast with fruits,
  & Meds now taken I will sit down in my type of "Morris" chair, & 
  do a little "Spiritual" reading before I return to bed, & get forty 
  (40) more winks before I get up again to really start my day!!! 
       * George Nakashima ?  Did an internet search for verbal, &
  images, & got a "One Minute" overview of His life, & works',
  "Chairs'", "Furniture", etc.!!!   Anybody can do this!!!  Ha!!!  Ha!!!
