* "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

* A DAY OF REST!!!


  * ON SAT UR DAY APRIL 2, (SON SHINE ON MY SHOULDERS, &
  IN MY HEART) 2011 @ 8:59 AM EST. (DID ANYBODY FOOL U
  YESTERDAY ON APRIL FOOL'S DAY, APRIL 1, 2011???)

       * My day began rather slowly like it has done ever since I had 
  "Open Heart Surgery" due to the Meds they have put me on which
  has really changed the way I do things from A to Z!!!  But in spite
  of this I reached my destination today a little late but never the
  less I was where I really wanted to be this morning!!!
       * Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel was consumed before nine (9) AM
  EST. & my Meds were also taken, & then I got dressed in my going
  to Church clothes, & out the door I went in spite of the fact that
  I was still running late!!!  Will have to get up earlier next week, &
  see if I can do better because this running late issue is really
  beginning to bug me!!!
       * Now to Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving which I am really look-
  ing forward to doing at the "Top" of the week!!!  But before that
  I want to share a short story with you courtesy of Mike Frank whom
  is the owner of Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply!!!  In the past few days
  I have made some comments about Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply so
  several individuals whom read my Blog everyday felt it was their
  "Duty" to inform Mike Frank about what I stated on my Blog about
  Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply so they contacted him about the
  "Comments I made about" Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply!!!
       Since I am a senior citizen, & have been doing business with 
  Mike Frank DBA Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply for many years I do
  not need a baby sitter to do this for me, & if I need to say some- 
  thing to someone I will do it myself because I am not bashful if
  something really needs to be said!!!
       *  For the record I have returned ten (10) pounds of His "Light
  Rush" Material which "In My Opinion" does not "Stain with a greater
  range of colors" because it already has a "Dye" in it which makes it
  absolutely impossible to "Stain with a greater range of color"  "I 
  WILL HAVE A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COLOR EXPERT TO
  VERIFY THIS FACT"!!!  The Sponsor of the "Antiques Roadshow"
  here in Virginia is of the same opinion that I am, & that is it is an
  un acceptable "Rush" material product!!!
       * It has crippled my business "Country Seat Weavers" for the
  last few weeks of March!!!  But I will survive this "Rush" Material
  issue, & go very happily about my "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving"
  business minus "Frank's Cane, & Rush Supply"!!!

       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

* BOTTOM OF THE WEEK WITH MATERIAL TO ORDER!!!


  * ON FRY DAY APRIL 1, (YES, ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT)
  2011 @ 1:41 AM EST.  AND YES, TODAY WILL BE GOOD OLE
  "APRIL FOOL'S" DAY!!!

       * The warmth of my bed is calling me so I will bring this very,
  very brief "Post" to a close, & continue when it's ...
       * 9:56 AM EST. in the morning, & my day has already started
  by eating my Fuel for the day of Oatmeal, & taking my Meds, &
  still being in my longjohns it may be a while before I finish dressing
  so I can run some errands this morning for the week-end!!!
       * So what's on the calender today for "Chair Caning, & Seat
  Weaving"?  Well,  I think we will do a little hand filing on a "Binder
  Cane" Rocking Chair Seat Frame so we can finish up this "Porch
  Rocker", & get it out the front door!!!  
       * Actually we need a "Radi Plane" which I do not have; but need
  to purchase this Woodworking "Time Saver" so that we can do this
  job quickly in the future in spite of the fact that we will not be using
  it that often: but will have it on hand when needed because it will
  pay for itself in time saved doing this particuliar Woodworking job!!!
       * And today I will be ordering "Binder Cane", & "Rush" Material
  from two (2) different "Vendors" so that I can really get back to
  the Business of "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving", & finish up my "Back
  Log" of work once, & for all!!!  But still, due to the economy I will
  be ordering only what I need to order!!!
       * Our old "VENDOR" is now old news as of today due to "HIS"
  customer "Attitude" problem, & extremely "Poor Service Record"
  which has literally wrecked havoc with my business since March 11,
  2011!!!  We simply cannot afford to do business with a "VENDOR"
  of this caliber ever again unless there are changes in this corpora-
  tion's "Attitude", & "Service"!!!
       * Well it's to bed I go a little after 10:11 PM EST. knowing
  that with the "NEW" "VENDOR" next week will be 110% better
  than the weeks since March 11, 2011!!!
       * Of course there will be NO "Post" tomorrow until after the
  setting of the SUN!!!
  
       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

       * "BLESSINGS', "THANKS" for stopping by, and reading our

* COMPUTER PROBLEM CORRECTED!!!


  * ON THURS DAY MARCH 31, (OVERCAST DAY, CHILLY; BUT
  SON SHINE ON MY SHOULDERS, & IN MY HEART) 2011 @ 5:44
  PM EST.  AND YES, TOMORROW WILL BE APRIL FOOL'S DAY
  AGAIN!!!

       * For the past few days I've been MISSING IN ACTION not
  only here on my BLOG; but also where "Chair Caning, & Seat Weav-
  ing" is concerned due to a "VENDOR'S" problem of guessing what
  a "Client" needs, & not what the "Client" "Ordered" which has
  literally in more ways than one (1) wrecked havoc with my business
  for the better part of the month of March!!!  It has been very
  stressful due to the fact that I am just getting back to work after
  having "MAJOR" "Open Heart Surgery" (BLESSED TO BE ALIVE) to
  catch up on all of my "Clients'" work whom have been not only
  patient; but kind enough to wait until I could do the work!!!  Hopefully
  April will be much better with no stress of this nature!!!
       * I still will have to tear down "Rush" Chair Bottoms', & re do
  them because I cannot get the same "Rush" color material
  again before I can put this "VENDOR'S" actions behind me once, &
  for all!!!  This is the first time in thirty (30) seven (7) years I
  have personally had such a mess where "Rush" material color is
  concerned!!!  AND IT IS "GARBAGE"!!!  REASON?  The color "Light
  Brown" "Rush" that is in it when mixed with "Special Walnut", "Early
  American" etc. creates a color that no "Client" will accept because
  it really produces a "Rush" Color Material which looks off color,
  unnatural!!!  A "Sponsor" of the "Antiques Road Show" here in our
  great State of Virginia would not accept it!!!  He was one of my 
  Clients!!!  
      * Worked on a "Rush" Chair Bottom today "Weaving" it to
  where (I think) you should begin your "Padding" on a "Rush" Chair
  Bottom so that I can "Share" this with my "Student" this coming
  Monday or Tuesday depending on which day she chooses to continue
  her "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Class!!!

       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

* NO MATERIAL SHIPPED=NO WORK CAN BE DONE!!!

  * ON MUN DAY MARCH 28, (STILL WINTER COAT WEATHER
  WITH SON SHINE, & CLOUDS) 2011 @ 10:57 AM EST.

       * Today started out with a "Big Bang" because I had a real
  "Senior Citizen" moment, & had forgotten to renew my Web site
  "Domain Name" which I promptly did this morning after...
       * Getting up later than usual this morning I got my Oatmeal
  Fuel Breakfast finished with Meds all taken before nine (9) thirty
  (30) AM EST., & got my day started out on the wrong foot!!!
       * Yes, a late fee cames with the "Senior Citizen" moment so
  I think next year I will renew my "Domain Name" for more than one
  (1) year!!!
       * So today I will finish up a few odds, & ends where "Chair
  Caning, & Seat Weaving" is concerned, & that will be the extent of
  the "Caning, & Weaving" for the week until the "Rush" material 
  "Color" issue is resolved!!!
       * Also visited one of my favorite BLOGS', "COLD ANTLER
  FARM", which is always interesting to read which I do quite often!!!

       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!

??? AT THE TOP OF THE WEEK!!!

  * ON SON DAY MARCH 27, (DAWN WILL SOON BREAK) 2011 @
  5:56 AM EST.

       * Yes Sir it's almost six (6) AM in the morning, & I have yet to
  go to bed due to severe pain, & an emergency room visit to find out
  the cause for the pain!!!
       * Did something last night I hadn't done in a long, long time,
  & that was drive the '42 Chevy at night to the ER, & she did fine
  with absolutely no problems!!!  Had to use the windshield wiper (they
  only came with one (1) in 1942) as well as the lights' to drive be-
  cause it was raining as well as being night time!!!  
       * Today will be a no "Caning" day"; but I will do a little "Rush"
  Weaving today, & finally finish up a "Rush" Bottom Chair which will
  leave me just two (2) more "Rush" Chair Bottoms' to do, & that will 
  finally finish up my "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Career" at last!!!
       * Don't know whether I'll have Breakfast this morning, or
  brunch after I crawl into bed; but I do know that I will have to get
  up at nine (9) AM EST. to meet my Med schedule, & then I'll
  deceide whether I want to have breakfast then or not!!!!!!
       
       * CHEERS with a health drink!!!
