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!

* A NO CHAIR CANING/SEAT WEAVING DAY!!! ON SAT UR DAY FEBRUARY 26, (SON SHINE ON MY SHOULDERS') 2011 @ 9:39 AM EST.
* Today there will be absolutely no "Post"!!! * I will do a "Post" this evening after the "Sun" goes
down!!! * It's been an ordinary day starting with my usual Breakfast
of Oatmeal Fuel, Fruit for a change, & back to my regular Meds routine, & then just a good old fashion
R, & R day which was much needed!!! * A few days ago I picked
up six (6) Hitchcock Rush Bottom Chairs' with four (4) of them using "Fibre Rush", &
two (2) of them using "Mother Nature Rush" so I thought I would document the two
(2) "Mother Nature Rush" Bottom Chairs' with "Fotos" which were using "Mother
Nature Rush" so I could "Harvest" some information for my doing a "Mother Nature
Rush" Bottom Chair in the the very near future!!!
* Boy do I have my work cut out for me if my "Mother Nature Rush" Bottom Chair turns out anywhere
close to the two (2) Hitch- cock "Mother Nature Rush" Bottom Chairs which were sold at Macy's in New York City I do not know when; but I am sure it was many, many years ago!!!
* I'm positive I will be reaching out for some advise from a friend whom has many, many years' of experience
doing "Mother Nature Rush" Bottom Chairs'!!! Theirs is "Museum Quality" "Mother Nature Rush" Bottom Chairs'!!! Their family has been in the "Chair Caning, & Seat
Weaving" Business since the end of World War two (2), & the second generation now owns, & runs
the business!!! * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

8:43 AM
* Before Nine (9) AM here in the East, & I'm done Breakfast, & the dreaded Meds, & off to start the day with a happy, & very loud bang "Thanks"
to my Client Allen whom will be coming around two (2) this afternoon to pick up his Child's Rocking Chair!!!
Really can't wait to see what his reaction will be to this "Gem" of a Child's Rocking Chair,
& the pleasure of completely restoring it has been all mine!!!
* Today I'm deep sixing an old Ford van, '84 to be exact, which I have been using for the last five years
in my Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business, & since the drive train has died it's time to replace it with a much older van from the thirties (30's), forties (40's), or fifties
(50's) which I have really wanted to do for quite some time now, & now I really have an excuse to do
just exactly that!!!

* ODDS/ENDS CHAIR CANING/SEAT WEAVING , & TEACHING!! ON THURS DAY FEBRUARY 24, (WAY AFTER
MID NIGHT) 2011 @ 4:19 AM EST.
* Breakfast is yet to come so this "Post" will be short, & sweet until I greet the new day in a
few hours, & then I will finish my post for the day!!! For now it is to B E D to get a very little shut eye to last me for the day!!! And if it doesn't I will take an old fashion
nap sometime during the day, & will not hesitate to do so!!! *
Well, the sun is out, & I'm getting ready to sit dowm, & "Chow Down" my usual "Oatmeal
Fuel", & take the Meds, & get my day started on a very "Happy Note" as usual because
I've got a Child's Chair to put a "Binder Cane" Bottom in, & get ready for my teaching
"Gig" which I am enjoying because I'm "Teaching" a "Master Chair Caning,
& Seat Weaving Class" which give a "Student" the ability to do any type of "Hand
Cane Chair" that comes into their "Home Based Business", or "Shop"!!! * No "Short Changing" "Students' here in their "Chair
Caning, & Seat Weaving Class"!!! * Before I turn
in for the day I am going to put a "Binder Cane" Bottom in a Child's Chair which hopefully
will be picked up in the morning by the Client, & boy is he going to be shocked be- cause I stripped this little "Gem" of a Child's Chair, & refinished it
to "Thank" Allen for stopping by, & seeing what was wrong with me when I was recovering from "Open
Heart Surgery"!!! * He was a "New" Client, & cared enough
to stop by to see what was wrong with me because no one had heard from or seen
me!!! He thought I was very busy, or sick, & had no idea that I had had "Open Heart Surgery"
due to a life threatening "Health Issue"!!! And he even brought an "Upside Down Pine
Apple Cake for my Son, & I to eat!!! How's that for a "NEW" Client!!! Terrific I think!!! * CHEERS
with a health drink!!!

@ 9:03 AM EST.
* Day begun as usual with a hearty Breakfast of
Oatmeal Fuel, of which I reguarly eat two servings', & then of course there's my Meds' routine
to not forget, & deal with everyday, & this is the way I begin my day everyday before the Chair Caning,
& Seat Weaving projects' kick in for the day!!! * A Child's Rocker
willl be finally finished today so that I can Weave a "Binder Cane" Chair Bottom in it
so that this "Dumpster" found Child's Rocking Chair can once again be enjoyed by another
Child!!! And it's really a cute Child's Rocking Chair with "Acorn" Finials topping it off!! * Received an interesting phone call this morning from South West Virginia
for a Fifty foot (50') roll of "Machine Cane" which I'm really curious to see how it turns
out in the end!!! Of course I will direct this individual to a "Wholesaler" so they
can purchase the "Machine Cane" wholesale, & that will be that because I am only interested
in "Helping" this individual, & everybody else too!!!

* MIXED DAY WITH MATERIAL PICK UP!!! ON TWO'S DAY FEBRUARY 22, (CLOUDY + ???)
2011 @ 12:40 PM EST.
* Everything from the time I greeted the
day was rushed due to an appointment with a court, & a judge a couple of cities north up the line!!!
So a Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel was hurriedly eaten, & Meds not missed due to the rush, &
I got the '42 Chevy gassed up, & headed north to a legal mystery which will unfold over the next
few months hopefully in our favor!!! * While in the "Big City" I picked
up some "Binder Cane" which will complete a small Child's Rocker, & start a Large Porch Rocker, & some "Plastic Wood" to fill in some holes' to finish the "Prep" on a "Rush"
Bottom Chair to be woven over the next few days!!! * I picked up the "Binder
Cane" material from what used to be the largest "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business
in Virginia: but when their "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Expert" deceided to go into
business for himself it changed their business into just a very small "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving"
Business!!! * When you "Teach", (or have an Employee) you
absolutely need to have the "Student" Sign a Non Competitive "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" Contract so you can protect your business legally to the fullest
extent!!! * And now I will have "Lunch", & just kick
back for a little while, & "RELAX"!!! * Then I
will get back to doing an odds, & ends "Punch List" of "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving
projects to wrap up the day!!! Installing, & gluing dowels', plastic wood to fill holes,
& filing a "Hand Shaped Dowel" to fit the front seat of a Child's Chair!!!
* And yes, the "END" of my "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" "Days" are finally
in site with just a couple of Chairs to complete when I finish the "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" "Punch
List"!!! * And then the "NEW" "Craftsman will take over, &
call the shots everyday at "Country Seat Weavers'"!!!
* CHEERS with a health drink!!!

FEBRUARY 21, (NEVER A BLUE MONDAY NOW) 2011 @ 3:38 AM EST.
* When
you have your deepest inner soul awakened as a result of a life changing "Open Heart Surgery" due to
a life threatening health issue you really, really do look at life completely different!!!
* Today, & the next few days will be some of those short days where Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving are concerned
because I do not keep any Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Supplies on hand period, & only
order them when needed for projects due to the economy!!! * Besides it
only takes a couple of days to get them in house for "NEW" needed projects!!!
* Yesterday we ran into "Yellow Glue" which is of course every- bodies favorite, Ha Ha when removing
"Spline" from a "Machine Cane" Rocking Chair, which now has been removed, & ready
for the "Machine Cane" to be installed today!!! * Well again
it's time to put this "Post" to rest, & finish it sometime in the morning after I make a delivery,
& pick up this morning so until then... * In the meanntime
it's back to BED!!! It's four (4) o'clock in the morning EST.!!!
* Well, the usual Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel is over, & the Meds have been taking while I'm waiting for a final
finish to dry on a "Rush" Bottom Chair so it can be delivered, & then I'll pick up three (3) more "Rush" Bottom Chairs' to do!!! * WITHIN THE
NEXT FEW DAYS I AM GOING TO DO A LONG OVERDO "SHOUT OUT" "POST" ON THE "MISFORTUNE COOKIES" WHICH YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS!!! YOU ASK, WHAT ARE "MISFORTUNE
COOKIES? WELL, YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT, & SEE, & WHEN YOU LEARN WHAT THEY ARE, & WHOM IS INVOLVED IN THIS PRACTICE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF
THEIR "DEVIOUS", "SNEAKY" NATURE!!!
* THIS WILL BE A "PUBLIC SERVICE" "SHOUT OUT" "POST" TO "ALERT"
THE "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING PUBLIC" WHAT IS REALLY, REALLY GOING ON
ON SOME OF THE "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING "FORUM(S)"!!!
* AND IT ALL CAN BE VERIFIED IN BLACK, & WHITE ON THEIR INTERNET WEB SITE!!! * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

* CHAIR CANING/SEAT WEAVING WORK A THON!!! * ON SON DAY FEBRUARY 20, ( SLEEPLESS AGAIN
AFTER MID- NIGHT) 2011 @ 12:21 AM EST.
* Today at the "Top"
of the week I will begin a "Rush" Weav- ing marathon as result of having nine (9) "Rush"
Bottom Chairs come into my shop within the last couple of days!!! We will start by cutting out
the "Rush" in the "Rush" Bottom Chairs, & then we will "Feed the Wood"
in preperation for doing the "Rush" Bottom Chairs!!! And we will be working on a couple
of "Hand Cane" Chairs from time to time for a change of pace while we are doing the "Rush"
Bottom Chairs'!!! * Three of the "Rush" Bottom Chairs' are "Hand Made"
"Rush" Bottom Chairs' so absolutely nothing about them is uniform, or "Square"
yet "Squaring" them up will be very easy as a result of the "Method" I use to "Square
Up" "Rush" Bottom Chairs'!!! And because it's so easy to do any Seat Weaver can "Square
Up" their "Rush" Bottom Chairs'!!! SEE THIS WEB SITE FOR "HOW
TO" "SQUARE UP" "RUSH" BOTTOM CHAIRS"!!! *
Well, I've posted enough about "Rushing" so I'm Bed bound again to get some much
needed "Rest" for a busy, busy Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Son day at the "Top"
of the week!!! * Nine (9) Forty Three (43) AM EST Son day morniong, & my day has begun now that I have finished my Oatmeal Fuel, & the Meds have been taken to do their j
o b for the day!!! * First I'm going to take some "FOTOS' of several "Mother
Nature" Rush Bottom Chairs' to study so that I can teach myself "How To" do
"Mother Nature" "Rush" Bottom Chairs' in the very near future!!! And yes, this
will really be a challenge, & there will be absolutely no excuses for not learning "How to"
do a "Mother Nature" "Rush" Bottom Chair Period in spite of not having someone
"Show, & Teach" me all of the "Weaving" "Secrets" for doing "Mother Nature" "Rush"
Bottom Chairs!!! * When I removed the "Mother Nature Rush" from the "Rush" Bottom Chairs' I really got a surprise I did not expect because the "Padding" in these "Mother
Nature" "Rush" Bottom Chairs were strips of what appeared to be "Veneer" instead
of the usual "Card- board "Padding" which I expected to see!!!
* BUT I got some great information from the "FOTOS' of these "Mother Nature" "Rush" Bottom
Chairs' which I will put into practice within the next few weeks!!! It was exactly like the FOTOS' in the books; but the difference was you could dissect it, & examine it so you could harvest
the information with your "Mind", "Hands", & "Eyes"!!!
TERRIFIC!!! * Mun day more work will be showing up in the form of three
(3) "Rush" Bottom Chairs', & then what???
* CHEERS with a health
drink!!!
