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!

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 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!!!

* 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!!!

* 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!!!
