* "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.!

       * 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

* A DAY OF REST FROM CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING!!!

  * ON SAT UR DAY FEBRUARY 12, (MIDNIGHT MADNESS,
  AGAIN) 2011 @ 12:17 AM EST. 

       * Friday afternoon my "NEW" Client arrived at around four (4)
  o'clock as She had promised to pick up Her two (2) "Machine Cane"
  Chairs'; but what She did has not been done by a Client in a long,
  long time!!!  She gave us a tip, & it wasn't a small tip by any
  stretch of the imagination because it was for a whopping forty
  (40) dollars to show Her appreciation for our doing her Chairs'!!!
       * It's no "Secret" that the economy is not what it should be!!!
  And add to that all of the expenses' that come with having "Open
  Heart Surgery" when you return home from the hospital!!!  The
  list isn't short which includes, Clothing, Meds, & more!!!  And then
  factor in not being able to work for the next three (3) months,
  and you should get the picture of "WHY' this "GIFT" of Appreciation
  is so very "SPECIAL" because it was badly "NEEDED", & wqill make
  a huge difference in our lives for the remainder of the month of
  February!!!  It is truly a God send!!!
       * It's 12:56 so off to bed I go, & I'll finish this post on the
  other side of Sun Up, & Breakfast "Thank You"; but I really wanted
  to share this story with you about this "Blessing" I received yester-
  day afternoon showing, & telling Me how much He cares what happens
  to Me!!!
       * Really got a late, late start to my day today because I'm 
  just finishing up my Oatmeal Fuel Breakfast, & getting my Meds
  taken, & it's 11:08 AM in the morning!!!  This is not good because
  it will throw my Med schedule out of whack for a day!!!
       * Sometime over the Week End I will complete a "Rush" Bottom
  Chair, put a finish on its bottom, & send it on its way, & pick up
  three more "Rush" Bottom Chairs which will be the last of my
  "Catch Ups" as a result of the "Open Heart Surgery" in November
  of 2010!!!

       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

* DELIVERIES BEGIN BACK LOG CATCH UP TO END WEEK!!!

  * ON FRY DAY FEBRUARY 11, (MIDNIGHT MADNESS AGAIN)
  2011 @ 12:07 AM EST

       * Well, this is going to be short, & sweet because it's really
  late, & I need to get to bed, & get some much needed sleep!!!
       * Thankful the "Bottom" of the week will end with the 
  delivery of a couple more "Catch Up" chairs which makes me happy:
  but I'll be happier when they are all gone, & in my Clients'
  possession!!!  Then I can begin doing some trial & error discovery
  to learn what I want to do besides Cane, & Weave chairs!!!
       * And finishing this "Post" will be done much, much later this
  morning when I do greet the day after Breakfast of course!!!
       * Got a very pleasant surprise of an E-Mail (Thursday) which
  I will be sharing with you when I resume this "Post"!!!  But no
  names will be mentioned!
       * With my Oatmeal Fuel consumed, & Meds taken it's time to
  start my Chair Caning day by matching an aged Golden Oak stain
  on a Machine Cane Wing Back Chair Bottom!!! 
       * "Posted" a request on this Web site to locate a copy of
  the last of the series of bulletins' Ruth Comstock wrote which is
  no longer available titled, "Hong Kong Grass, Rope, & Twine Seats
  For Chairs'" which is Bulletin 327E 964!!!
       * Yesterday (Thursday) a couple via E-Mail was kind enough
  to offer me scanned copies of this bulletin plus one I did not know
  existed, & of course I thanked them for their kindness because
  this will end my search for this bulletin!!!
       * And yes I do haunt Book stores whom specialize in old books
  from time to time searching for Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving
  bulletins', books', pamphlets', etc. to add to my "Chair Caning,
  & Seat Weaving Library" for reference!!!

* JOURNEY 2 B COMPLETED TODAY!!!
 
  * ON WINDS DAY FEBRUARY 9, (A FEW MOMENTS OF MID-
  NIGHT MADNESS, & THEN BACK TO BED) 2011 @ 12:11 AM
  EST

       * Didn't do any Chair Caning, or Seat Weaving yesterday;
  but will un lazy myself today, & finish up a "Rush" Bottom Chair
  for a Client after I return from my journey north to the "Big"
  City which I am liking less, & less due to the traffic; but un
  fortunately this will be a part of my routine until I finish the re-
  mainder of the "Back Log" due to the "Open Heart Surgery" 
  which now has been whittled down to Six (6) Chairs!!!  THEN the
  "NEW" Craftsman for "Country Seat Weavers" will begin do-
  ing "ALL" of the work at "Country Seat Weavers", & I will be
  more than happy to disappear into the wood work!!!
       * Now back to bed, & I'll continue this post sometime during
  the day tomorrow!!!
       * Got up early this morning, & smelled the aroma of maple &
  brown sugar in my Oatmeal Fuel Breakfast before I sat down to
  enjoy it!!!  Then the usual Meds before packing up, & heading up
  the road to the "Big" City to pick up the "Machine Cane" material
  for the Machine Cane "Wing Chair" to be delivered Friday after-
  noon!!!
       * Really glad I went today because if I would have waited  
  until tomorrow to go, & pick it up I would have been disappointed,
  & returned home empty handed because I purchased the next to
  last piece of "Machine Cane" to be had in Richmond, Virginia in
  the 24" wide "Machine Cane"!!!
       * Left late enough this morning to avoid the morning "Rush"
  hour traffic, & returned home early enough to avoid the evening 
  "Rush" hour traffic so it was a win win trip both ways for me to- 
  day!!!  Yuck, can't wait to be a "City Slicker" no more because I
  have a really bad case of "BARNHEART"!!!

* IDLE DAY 2 PICK UP CHAIR CANING SUPPLIES!!!

  * ON TWO'S DAY FEBRUARY 8, (SON SHINE MAKES ME HAPPY)
  2011 @ 8:49 AM EST

       * Taking a break from finishing my Breakfast to do a short
  "Post" about an exciting day of travel for me to pick up "Machine
  Cane" Material to finish a Wing Chair so it can be delivered at
  the end of the week!!!  Destination will be to Governor's Antiques'
  in Mechanicsville, Virginia!!!  
       * Now with my trusty ole stand by of Oatmeal Fuel for Break-
  fast consumed, & Meds taken I will get ready to do some fun
  travel for me as far as I am concerned because I'm driving a
  '42 Chevrolet which is a hoot to drive anywhere for any reason!!!
       * And when I return to my shop I will continue to work on a
  couple of my Clients' Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Projects to
  finish clearing up my back log of work from November of 2010 
  due to a very shocking surpise of having to immediately have 
  "Open Heart Surgery" due to a life threating "Health Crisis"!!!
       * Today's trip was cancelled due to not leaving early enough
  to avoid "Rush" hour traffic in the "Big" city!!!  Tomorrow we will
  absolutely do much better because it's a "Must Do" so that we
  can deliver these "Machine Cane Chairs" to our "New" Client on
  Fry day afternoon!!!

* LOOSE ENDS FROM LAST WEEK!!!


  *ON MUN DAY FEBRUARY 7, (SON SHINE ON MY SHOULDER)
  2011 @ 9:43 AM EST

       Well, my day has already started courtesy of the "NEW"
  "Craftsman" whom is doing the final finish on two (2) "Rush"
  Bottom Chairs to be delivered this morning to Wathall, Virginia!!!
  We had to change colors to get it lighter on the "Rush" Bottom
  Chairs, & with that being done, & we are both happy with the end 
  results they can be delivered!!!
       * Of course I've had my Oatmeal fuel, & have swallowed my
  Meds so I'm good to go for the day!!!
       * A "CURVED" Bottom "Machine Cane Chair" will be done today,
  & delivered tomorrow!!!  The documentation with "FOTOS" of do-
  ing a "CURVED" "Machine Cane Chair" has already begun!!!  Will
  "POST" a "HOW TO" in a few days for doing a "CURVED" 
  "Machine Cane Chair'!!!
       * Finally have come up with a name for a "FORUM", & have
  copywritten, servicemarked, & trademarked it!!!  Having just the
  Trademark on a name, & not the Servicemark on a name can create
  legal headaches for an individual which you do not even want to
  imagine!!!  But if you are that "STUPID" you really do deserve what
  you will eventually get when the timing is right!!!

* KEEPING PLANS SECRET!!!

  * ON SUNDAY FEBRUARY 6, (SON SHINE ON MY SHOULDER)
  2011 @ 8:19 AM EST

       * Will no longer "POST" what my future plans are concerning
  doing a "FORUM" on the internet including what the name of that
  "FORUM" will be due to the nature of the internet which has been
  one hell of a roller coaster ride for me due to getting "RIPPED" on  
  the internet by a "COMPETITOR" whom tried to destroy my business
  here on the internet!!!  WELL, I'M STILL HERE, & I'M NOT
  GOING ANYWHERE EITHER!!!  
       * And I'm not some hick from the sticks whom knows absolutely
  nothing about "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving!!!  Armed with a deep,
  & wide knowledge of Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving I built the
  Largest Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Program in the State of
  Virginia which is "DOCUMENTED"!!!  (See About Seat Weaver,
  & Writer on this Web Site!!!)
       * It's nine (9) AM, & I'm finished my morning routine early for
  a change!!!  My Oatmeal Fuel Breakfast has been eaten, Meds
  taken, & now it's off to the shopping mall to pick up some supplies
  for Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving!!!
       * Sometime before the day is finished I will have finished two
  (2) more Chairs towards finishing the backlog from my R & R for
  three (3) months due to "Open Heart Surgery"!!!  & yes I am only
  supervising because I'm going to wait until the first (1st) of March
  to return to work!!!
       * Learned the other day from my NP (Nurse Practitioner) that
  it takes three (3) months for the Sternum to heal so I have en-
  joyed R & R this long so I can very easily wait a little longer, and
  be on the safe side!!!
       * Great "Posts" continue to pop up on one (1) of my favorite
  "BLOGS", "COLD ANTLER FARM"!!!  Try reading it a few times'
  & you just may get hooked on this "BLOG" like I did!!!  
       * Beginning to document with "FOTOS" "How To" do a "CURVED"
  "MACHINE CANE CHAIR BOTTOM"!!!  Will post later in the week!!!

       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!
