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!

generation!

* A PARTIAL NO CANE, NO WEAVE WEEK-END!! * ON SAT UR DAY (RAINY DAY) FEBRUARY 5, 2011
@ 9:31 AM EST
* On Thursday November 3, 2011 when I had my first
check up following "Open Heart Surgery" the NP (Nurse Practitioner) asked me a question
which I hadn't given any thought to prior to "Open Heart Surgery" or after "Open Heart Surgery"
because all I knew was that I had a life threatening "Health Crisis" and needed to have
"Open Heart Surgery" to fix it!!! "HOW OLD WAS THE SURGEON WHOM OPERATED ON ME? Don't
know; but I do know age along with years of experience would definitely play a major role
in the outcome of the "Open Heart Surgery"!!! What's a very nice way to find out "How
Old" the "Heart Surgeon" is? * It's going on tenish (10 ish), &
I was welcomed by the smell of "Maple, & Brown Sugar" before I had my Oatmeal Fuel, & then of course taking my Meds which have been changed to adjust the dosage for the last time!!! *
& now it's time for a partial week-end of R & R with the "Rush" Chair Bottom already "Squared
Up" so that I can very easily finish weaving this one "Rush' Bottom Chair sometime over the week- end, & deliver it at the "Top" of the week!! * GOING TO REPEAT
A "POST" TOMORROW THAT I HAVE "POSTED" HERE BEFORE!!! THE REPONSE SHOULD BE VERY, VERY INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST; BUT IT IS THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH!!! * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for stopping by, and reading
our "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING REFLECTIONS'" TM!!!

* FIRST (1st) DELIVERY 2 B MADE TODAY SINCE 11-24-2010!!! * ON FRY DAY FEBRUARY 4, (AFTER MIDNIGHT RESTLESSNESS AGAIN) 2011 @ 1:54 AM EST
* When I return to bed after I finish
this brief early morning post I am fully aware that when I get up in the morning it's really going
to be more than a hectic morning because I will have to com- plete a couple of "Rush" Bottom
Chairs', & "Stain" them, & have them ready for delivery by one (1) o'clock in the
afternoon!!! * But I have no one to blame for this sad state of"Rush" affairs except myself so I will just simply have to "Suck It Up", & get er done!!! * But this will put me two (2) Chairs closer to my finishing up the
Chairs I have to finish up as a direct result of the huge "Open Heart Surgery" Surprise
in November of 2010 before I can call it quits as far as Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving is concerned, &
do something else completely different after thirty-seven (37) years of Chair Caning,
& Seat Weaving!!! * Of course "Country Seat Weavers' will be running
full steam ahead with a "NEW", & very capable Craftsman at the controls of
of the Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Engine of "Country Seat Weavers' I am very happy to
say!!! * I'm up earlier this morning than usual at just 8:15 AM EST,
& have already had my usual Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel, & will shortly take my Meds, &
jump in to my day so I can meet all of my appointments for the day, & then take some more of that good ole R, & R for just a few moments of relaxation, and then of course it will be back to the "Grind
Stone" to finish my day with the beginning of a third (3rd) "Rush" Bottom Chair!!!
* We did finish those two "Rush" Bottom Chairs today, & easily "Squared Up"
a third!!! Not bad for a partial day's work!!!
* CHEERS with
a health drink!!!

DOC DAY, & ERRANDS ON DAY # 3 OF WORKING AFTER * DOC DAY, & ERRANDS ON DAY # 3 OF
WORKING AFTER "OPEN HEART SURGERY"!!!
* Very apprehensive about the DOC'S visit today; but I will have to grin, & bear it, & hopefully get a
terrific DOC'S report!!!
*ON THUR DAY (RAIN GONE, & SUNSHINE) FEBRUARY 3, 2011
@ 8:42 AM EST
* Now that my ole reliable '42 Chevy is running like an old clock not missing a second, I will drive her to Richmond, Virginia to see the
"DOC", visit a dear old friend, pick up some "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Materials",
& just enjoy the day in general!!! * But before I could enjoy the day
I had a rude awakening when I stepped on the brakes, I had absolutely no brakes so I drove back
home very carefully & slowly & fixed the "Brake Issue", & then headed north
to Ricmond, Virginia, & indeed did enjoy the day!!! * Got a terrific report
from the "DOC", & really enjoyed seeing a very, very dear ole friend, & picked up the
"Machine Cane" material that I needed to do a "Curved" "Machine Cane Chair
Bottom" that I'm going to do a "How To" Tutorial on in a few days!!!
* ONE OF MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS' IS WHEN A DIFFERENT TYPE OF CHAIR COMES INTO THE "NEW" CRAFTSMAN'S SHOP I WILL DOCUMENT IT WITH A "HOW TO" TUTORIAL WITH OF COURSE "FOTOS'!!! * Is this all leading up to a book? Maybe!!!
* Curved "Machine Cane Chair Bottoms" are really done quite differently than "Flat"
"Machine Cane Chair Bottoms" if they are done "CORRECTLY" beginning with the "WITNESS
MARKS" so you have a perfectly "Square" "Machine Cane Chair Installation"!!! * So until next time...

DAY 2 OF WORKING AFTER MENDING FROM DAY 2 OF WORKING AFTER MEMDING FROM "OPEN
HEART SURGERY"!!!
* Finishing up the work on the '42 Chevy
so I can make the remainder of the Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving deliveries!!! Steering Box
Installed Correctly, & "FINALLY" Correctly Ajusted!!! Really glad this is over because it
was a real "Bear" to do as more than a "Shady Tree Mechanic" with just a "Floor Jack"!!!
I installed the engine, clutch assembly, transmission, etc. so this qualifies me as more
than just a "Shady Tree Mechanic', & it now drives like a brand new truck!!! And most
important I keep the "Money" in my pocket, & spend it on something I choose, instead of giving it
to my friendly neighbor mechanic!!!
* CHEERS with a health
drink!!!
* Tomorrow I will drive to Richmond, Virginia for my first
check up with my cardiologist after "Open Heart Surgery, & hopefully will get
an excellent report!!! * Then I will pick up some "Machine Cane",
& "Spline" to finish up a couple of "Machine Cane" Chairs I have to do!!! And
then I can check them off of my list of "Chair Caning" to do so I can finish up
these left overs' as a result of the "Surprise" "Open Heart Surgery", & ride off into
the sunset as far as "Chair Caning", & "Seat Weaving" is concerned, & let the "NEW"
Craftsman begin His work at "Country Seat Weavers"!!!

SURGERY"!!!
* I remember being taken to the "Operating
Room" on November 24, 2010 at around nine (9) o'clock in the morning, & I remember
beng told that I would be the first one operated on that day so I planned to say my prayer that morning;but
do not remember doing that, & do not remember anything else that occured that morning before,
or after!!! Today as a result of that "Open Heart Surgery"
I will begin a "New Chapter" in my life, & return to work!!!
* ON THE BIGGEST TWO'S DAY ( MIDNIGHT MADNESS) FEBRUARY 1, 2011 @ 12:39 AM EST
* Today I will officially return to work with the Docs blessing!!!
This is something I thought I would "Never" do as a result of the extreme Major "Open Heart
Surgery" I had!!! And I know that I have been truly "Blessed" o I am really
going to live, & work accordingly!!! Sometime today I will finish
the last of two (2) "Rush" Bottom Chairs I will do for one (1) customer, & begin to "Rush"
another "Rush" Bottom Chair for another customer!!! And now
at a little after one (1) in the morning I will return to bed to get a little shut eye so I can meet
the first work day of the rest of my life which I honestly thought would end as a
result of the news' I was given at the ER that Friday evening in November the week-end before Thanksgiving in
2010!!!

& pray I have not opened up my mouth to soon!!! * Tomorrow
the day count down will end, in the celebration of the fact, that I can at long last return to work!!!
And it will have been a very, very long sixty-four (64) days of amaze- ment at what the good
Lord did for me through the "Surgeon", & His "Healing" Power to restore me to good health,
enabling me to return to work, & resume my life to the fullest with a new sense of purpose for

* "PEERLESS RATTAN" is now our "NEWEST" Advertiser in our "Chair Caning,
& Seat Weavers' Directory" TM!!! PLEASE VIEW THEIR ADS', & WE WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY
TO GIVE YOU ONES' JUST LIKE THEM FOR "FREE!!! *
It's the "Top" of the week, & I got up late this morning to finish those two (2)
"Rush" Bottom Chairs; but first (1st) Break- fast must be eaten with the usual two (2) bowls' of Oatmeal
Fuel, & the ritual of taking my Meds before I begin my day!!! *
It is now one (1) official day left before I can officially return to work; but I'm going to still take er
easy until "All" of the "Pain" is long gone in my upper chest, & how long that's
going to take only the good Lord knows!!! * And confusion by the Vendor continues
to wreck havoc with my "Rush" Seat Weaving due to shipping the wrong "Rush" material
which makes it difficult to weave because I'm not used to working with "Slack" twist "Rush"
Material!!! * Going to read one of my favorite "BLOGS", "COLD
ANTLER FARM" which always deserves a plug, & check my E-Mail, & then start the "Top"
of the week which is a very sunny, cold Mun day!!!

than concerned, & worried!!!
* ON SON DAY (A LOT OF SON SHINE) JANUARY 30, 2011 @ 9:37
EST
* Well, I'm not exactly on time this morning where the Meds
are concerned; but my Oatmeal Fuel Breakfast was delicious, & filling as usual, & so it's off to

* And then my day will be filled with a little bit of "Rush" play to finish up two (2) "Rush"
Bottom Chairs' for delivery on Monday!!! * And then I'll have another day of R
& R because Tuesday will be the official day my Doc said to return to work!!! It has
