  *****  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

                                       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

* RUSH PROBLEMS RESOLVED WE THINK!!!

  *ON SAT UR DAY MARCH 19 (REALLY RESTLESS NIGHT IN
  COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VIRGINIA) 2011, @ 1:57 AM EST.

       * No "Posts" today!!!
       * Will "Post" after the Son goes downing this evening!!!
       * And it's back to bed at this early hour in the morning which
  is all of 2:02 AM EST.!!!  So until...
       * 8:35 PM EST., & I'm just sitting down to this old cmputer to
  "Post" my thoughts for today!!!
       * My day began this morning around 9:30 AM this morning, & I
  had my usual Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel, & Meds, & just took a
  day of R & R with no "Chair Caning, or Seat Weaving" touched today,
  & that really felt good for a change, & like a real winner which I will
  make a very permanent part of my weekly schedule!!!  This will give
  me a true week-end to myself every single week end of the year!!!
       * Made contact with a friend courtesy of "Facebook" today I
  hadn't heard from in forever, & it was a very pleasant surprise!!!
  Doubly glad we have made contact again!!!  A couple of old "Trumpet
  Players'" reliving memories from way back when when we attended a
  coed boarding school in the beautiful "Shenandoah" Valley of Virginia!!!
       * (The material we received, & didn't order) from Frank's Cane
  & Rush Supply called LR (Light Rush) I personally think is a very bad
  business idea because when you stain an already dyed "Rush" with a
  stain of another color a lot of times the "Stained" "Rush" comes out
  a "Stained" "Rush" Color not you or your "Client" can't live with, &
  you just may lose a "Client"!!!
       * We think we have figured out what to do as far as Staining
  this "Half Breed" "Rush" is concerned to please our "Client", & myself
  so we're going to do a "Color Sample" to show our "Client", & see
  what their reaction is to the "Rush" Stain Color!!!  And if it doesn't
  fly we will sadly have to locate another "VENDOR" immediately after
  doing business (Almost Exclusively) with Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply 
  for almost thirty seven (37) years!!! 
       * The transition from Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving has gone
  easier than I thought it would, & the "NEW" Craftsman has done
  a "Museum Quality" job, & will continue to do so in the future of
  this I am positive because this was part of the agreement!!!

       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

* RUSH PROBLEMS!!!

  * ON FRY DAY MARCH 18, (AFTER MIDNIGHT "POSTS'"TO BE-
  COME THE RULE RATHER THAN THE EXCEPTION) 2011 @ 12:36
  AM EST.

      * The first thing on my agenda today will be to do color samples
  on the "Rush" I just received from "Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply",
  & I am not very happy about it one damn bit!!!  Normally all I have
  to do is apply a coat of "Clear Shellac", & I'm done. Now I have
  to do two (2) Steps to get the color I need to satisfy "Clients"!!!
  And this translates into more time, & more money!!!
       * The balance of the day will be spent doing a little "Hand
  Caning' on a "Civil War" era "Lincoln Rocker", then a little
  "Antiqueing", then catching up on a few odds, & ends I need to catch
  up on before the week-end arrives so that I will have a "Cane Free,
  & Rush Free" week-end which will became the norm for the remainder
  of the Spring, & Summer!!!
       * It's one (1) o'clock in the morning, & I really think I've stay-
  ed up late enough so I'm going to call it a "Posting" day until after
  Breakfast in the morning so until...
       * 8:12 AM EST, & I'm dressed for the day, had my Breakfast
  of Oatmeal Fuel, & will take my Meds for the day, & hit the road
  for some extremely "Happy" "Pay Back" to an old friend from "High 
  School Days" whom helped my family immensley after I had "Open
  Heart Surgery" from November 24, 2010 until I could drive again in
  in February of 2011!!!  He needs some "Taxi Service" which I'm 
  more than happy to give him because "Friends" like this "Genuine
  Friend" are in fact few, & far between!!!
       * The "Picture Frame" hunt continues so I can frame my "Birth
  Certificates"!!!
  
       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

* HAND CANING, & TEACHING TODAY!!!

  * ON THURS DAY MARCH 17, (ANOTHER REST LESS, SLEEPLESS
  NIGHT) 2011 @ 1:29 AM EST.

       * Made an interesting delivery yesterday, Winds day, to a
  "NEW" Client whom lived in a "Civil War" era house in the "Historical"
  part of town in Petersburg, Virginia which had a "Sunday Room"
  above the back porch which had a ladder or steps leading to it for
  guests to stay during the "Civil War'!!!  And it had the original
  "Slave Quarters" behind the house also which now serves as a office
  for the owner of this restored "Civil War" house!!!
       * Today I will finish another "Lincoln Rocker", & begin again on
  a "Rush" Bottom Chair, & hopefully complete it today!!!
       * I will also return to "Old Town" Petersburg, Virginia to
  "Woody's Antiques" this morning, & finish my search hopefully for
  a picture frame for my forties (40's) "Birth Certificate"!!!  Would
  have done it yesterday, Winds day afternon at the same time I
  delivered the "Bentwood Rocker"; but they were unfortuntely closed!!!
       * Well, it's almost two (2) in the morning so I'm going to wrap
  this "Post" up until after Breakfast later this morning!!!  So until
  then..."Whatever"!!! 
       * "IT'S LATE" (Reminds me of a Ricky Nelson Song): for me 
  because it is now 10:59, & I haven't even gotten dressed for the
  day yet; but I've finished my usual Oatmeal Fuel Breakfast, &
  taken the dreaded Meds again as usual for each day!!!
       * So I've got to shake a leg, get dessed, & head to "Old Town"
  Petersburg, Virginia, & "Woody's Antiques" again about those
  "Vintage Picture Frames" for my forties (40's) Birth Certificate"!!! 
  * It state on the "Birth Certificate" the following instructions' for
  the Parents'!!!  "When six to nine months old have your doctor give
  the baby toxoid to prevent diphtheria"!!!  AND "At one year of age
  have the child vaccinated against smallpox'!!!  Recently discovered 
  this document when going through my Parents'estate, & I really
  thought it was not only neat; but unusual!!!  So shortly it will be
  framed in an appropriate period picture frame!!!
       * Today the "Rush" will arrive from Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply
  so I can now start "Rushing" ten (10) "Rush" Bottom Chairs with
  six (6) more on the way from Charlottesville, Virginia up the road
  more than a hundred miles away!!!
       * And the "Squaring Up" Method for the "Rush" Bottom Chairs is
  always the same, & EASY, EASY, EASY when you use my "Method"
  without all the measuring, etc by simply using a "Rush Ruler" TM
  for "Squaring Up" all the "Rush" Chair Bottoms'!!!  And there is no
  guessing about how many "Fillers'" you need to tack in place when 
  you use this "Method" because it really does take out all of the
  guess work about getting the "Rush" Chair Bottom "Square'!!!
       * At three (3) PM on Thursday afternoons' I take a break, & 
  "Teach" which I throughly have enjoyed!!!  Will do more of my 
  "Teaching" gig in the future, & that is a promise I have made to
  myself!!!  It is really a real change of pace from Chair Caning, &
  Seat Weaving Chairs' that's for sure!!!

* THE CANING CONTINUES!!! BORING!!!


  * ON WINDS DAY MARCH 16, (ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT=
  "POSTING" MY "BLOG" FOR THE DAY EARLIER) 2011 @ 1:53
  AM EST.

       * When I began Caning Chairs, longer than I care to remember,
  I took two "Adult Education Classes" which have proved to be in-
  valuable, & very profitable to me over the years, & they were
  "Furniture Refinishing", & "Woodworking" so if you are a "Beginner" in
  "Chair Caning", & "Seat Weaving" you just might want to do the same
  because you will not regret it for a moment!!!
       * Recently when I went to pick up a Chair from a "NEW"
  Client, & one of the questions was, "DO YOU DO ANY FURNITURE
  REFINISHING'?  And of course I was able to say "YES" because I
  took that "Furniture Refinishing Class" when I first started "Chair
  Caning, & Seat Weaving Chairs'!!! 
       * And I might add there is a huge difference in the quality of
  doing self taught "Furniture Refinishing" & doing "Furniture Refinish-
  ing" after you have taken a "Furniture Refinishing Class" from a
  "Master Furniture Refinisher"!!!  * This was my personal experience
  because I immediately noticed the difference in my "Furniture
  Refinishing Skills", & so did my "Clients'!!!  Books etc. were great;
  but a "Hands On" "Master Furniture Refinishing Instructor" was
  more than terrific because he physically showed you exactly how to
  do it along with (maybe, don't know for sure) some of the tricks
  of a "Master Furniture Refinisher"!!!
        * I also added "Laminated" "Stain Color Charts" to my "Refinish
  ing Tools" so I never had the need to go to my local hardware store
  to get "NEW" "Stain Color Charts" for matching various stains!!! 
       * Well, I'm getting a little tired so I'll try to go back to bed,
  & see if I can go to sleep, & finish this "Post" at the top of the
  morning after Breakfast!!!  So until...
       * It's 9:40 AM EST., & I a little late with the Meds; but with
  my usual Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel over I can now "Dress", & get
  my day started with finishing up "Hand Fitting" a "repair" piece of
  wood for a "Copy" of a "Lincoln Rocker" which a "Client" had made
  to match one her family had in an estate!!!  Sounds like an interest-
  ing story here; but I was not told all of the details!!!
       * And I am going to make a "Vintage Picture Frame" run this
  very morning to "Woody's Antiques" in Old Town" Petersburg, 
  Virginia to hopefully locate that one special "Vintage Picture Frame"
  for my, I think, very unique "Birth Certificate" from the forties
  (40's) because I've never seen another one like it!!!
      * "Caning"?  I will start on another "Hand Cane" Chair this
  morning which will be the copy of the "Lincoln Rocker" after the 
  "Hand Fitted" "Furniture Repair" has been completed on it!!
       * Delivery of a rather large "Bentwood Rocker" will finally be
  made this afternoon, & it will not even begin to put a dent in my
  "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" Storage Needs until they are ready
  to be Caned or Woven!!!
 
       
       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

* MISSION POSSOBLE 2 DELIVER!!!

  * ON TWO'S DAY MARCH 15, ( MO MIDNIGHT MADNESS) 2011
  @ 12:40 AM EST.

       * Mun day we ran into color match problems with a "Hand
  Caned" "Bentwood Rocker"; but finally resolved the issue in spite
  of no manufacturer manufacturing a stain that even came close to
  our needs!!!  Now we will be able, & more than happy to deliver
  this "Bentwood Rocker" to our "NEW" Client with 110% con-
  fidence!!!
       * Within the next few days I will "Post" "A BLENDING CHART"
  for stains to use when you need to "BLEND" a stain that no manu-
  facturer manufacturers' unless you are familiar with the MOHAWK
  FURNITURE TOUCH UP MARKERS', & have A Mohawk Furniture
  Touch Up Kit which give you a wide assortment of Furniture Touch
  Up Markers' for any furniture touch up issue you may have!!!
       * Well, it's after one (1) in the morning, & yes I need to retire
  for the day finally, so until sometime after Breakfast in the morning
  I will finish this "Post"!!!
       * It's a little past nine this mrning, 9:19 AM EST. to be exact,
  & I've already finished my Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel, & shortly
  will have Fruit, & then top on my morning with the dreaded Meds,
  & then start my day with making arrangements for this rather large 
  "Bentwood "Hand Caned" Rocker" delivery!!!
       * And then back to finishing a "Hand Cane" Chair with more
  "Hand Cane" chairs' to follow to do!!!  And I'll throw in a "Rush"
  Bottom Chair to do for good measure!!!
       * Then while I'm in the "Old Town" area of Petersburg which
  has a few "Antique Shops" I will continue looking for a picture frame
  from the forties (40's) to frame my birth certificates' from the 
  forties (40's), or something that will catch my eye which would be
  very appropriate!!!  They've got the vintage picture frames just have
  to go back in the next few days, & take a closer look at them until I
  find hopefully what I'm looking for in a vintage picrure frame!!!

  of my Meds I went on Facebook, & became aware of the infor-
  mation in the follwing paragraph!!!  And all before 9:30 AM in the
  morning here in the east!!!
       * One of the first things I want to do this morning is to locate
  some POTASSIUM IODINE TABLETS', USP" 130 mg per tablet
  just in case there is a radiation leak in the reactor in Japan to
  protect my Family's health!!!  Yes, there will be a run on this item
  if this is the case, & it may be to late to get it if this happens so
  I'm going to do it today!!!
       * There will be a little Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving on my 
  plate today which will consist of doing some "Chair Repairs", "Hand
  Caning, & completing a "Rush" Bottom Chair, & then...
  the rest of the day will be one of those mystery days!!!
       * & yes I did strip that "BLACK" Spice Rack, & I am extremely
  happy how it turned out with "Dovetail" Joints, "Mortise, & Tenon
  Joints" made out of "Heart Pine"!!!  Sorry, "Age Unknowm"; but I

* THE WEEK AHEAD ?

  * ON SON DAY MARCH 13, (AHA!!! MIDNIGHT STORY TO TELL)
  2011 @ 12:22 AM EST.

       * Have you ever read a "BLOG" where you are really drawn in
  to the BLOG in spite of knowing what the final outcome will be you
  think!!!  "ESTER'S BLOG" IS ABOUT HER DYING SISTER, & it's
  really heart touching, & heart wrenching all rolled into one, & I'm
  sure it hasn't been an easy 'BLOG" to "Post'!!!  But it's "Posted"
  in such a way that it ask you questions' which makes you do some
  serious soul searching yourself!!!  I reaally like this approach to a
  "BLOG"!!!
       * Today is magical because I can do something I enjoy doing
  every year and that is to reset my clocks to signal the return of
  Spring in a few days!!!  Or has spring already arrived?  I get two
  dates' where Spring is concerned!!!  One is March 1, & the other is
  March 20!!!  Either one is O. K. with me as long as old man winter
  is gone for a while!!!  Don't get me wrong because I enjoy every
  season for its' unique beauty, & diversity "Thank You"!!!
       * Running out of gas so off to bed I go until after Breakfast
  this morning to finish this "Post"!!!
      * Well, I have finally woken up, had my Oatmeal Fuel; but NO
  Meds yet which I'm not really crazy about taking because of what
  they do to the body!!  And it's only 9:24 Am EST., & no I'm really 
  not ready to start this day yet!!! 
       * Plan to do done some stripping of the "Gift" Antique Spice 
  Rack today, & get rid of the black paint on it!!!  Stripping is some-
  thing I haven't done in a long, long time, & it too brings back some
  very pleasant memories of yesterday because I used to strip a lot
  of furniture with a friend whom owned an Antique Shop which went by
  the name of "Rain Barrel Antiques" where Bill, & Audrey was kind
  enough to allow me to hang out my "Chair Caning", Seat Weaving 
  shingle!!!  And it brought lots of Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving
  business because it was located in a popular Antique Mall by the
  name of "Wigwam Antiques"!!!
       * Along with the stripping today I'll do a wee bit of Caning,
  & Rushing before the day is over so I can make some deliveries
  at the "Top" of the work week on Monday!!!
       * And of couse I'll take a break, & do some Sunday Afternoon
  visiting with really old friends from my "High School" days, & this
  just doesn't get any better, & never gets old in repeating!!!
      
       *CHEERS with  health drink!!!


       * "BLESSINGS", "THANKS" for stopping by, and reading our
  "CHAIR CANING, & SEAT WEAVING REFLECTIONS'" TM!!!
