***** 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"

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!

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!

* "RUSHING" CHAIRS' + MIXED BAG CHORES!!! * ON FRY DAY APRIL 22, (MIXED WEATHER ?) 2011 @ 9:02 AM EST.
* Did my "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" deliveries in the middle of the week so there's
no need to rush today so the pace at the "Bottom" of the week will not be so hectic!!!
* I've eaten my Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel, taken Meds, & have yet to get dressed for the day which speaks
of the pace I am going to be going at today!!! & it's only 9:26 AM EST. which is a good
thing because that gets me back on schedule with the Meds!!! * Going
to begin experminting with "Water Based" stains for the next few days to get the "Color
Palate" straightened out for staining "Machine Cane" Chair Bottoms!!!
* Well need to get dressed for the day so I can begin "Rushing" another "Rush" Chair
Seat Bottom which will be the routine for many days' to come with no end in sight!!!
* And this afternoon I will be getting another "Project" to do from a "NEW" Client: but don't
know whether it will be a "Cane" "Rush" Chair Bottom to do, or what have you until I
see it come in the shop door; but it's another "Project" to do, & that's a very good
thing!!! * One of the BLOGS I follow, & READ, "COLD ANTLER FARM" has been a really good read for the past few days!!! This BLOGGER is the "Real
Deal' "Wordsmith", & has the ability to inspire, & motivate its' readers' to take ACTION,
& that has included ME!!! * Read a "Post" from one of my dearest
friends on ? which has finally given me the name I have been searching for to name my up coming
"FORUM"!!!

* MORE "RUSH" CHAIR BOTTOMS' 2 DO + TEACH!!! * ON THURS DAY APRIL 21, (SUN, CLOUDS, ?) 2011
@ 10:10 AM EST.!!!
* 10:10, & I'm really way off schedule
again with the Meds; but the usual Oatmeal Fuel Breakfast has been consumed, & I've
yet to finish getting dressed so that I can begin my day!!! * Four "Rush"
Chair Bottoms' remain to be done here in the shop with ten (10) "Rush" Chair Bottoms' scheduled
to arrive beginning the "Rush" Chair Seat Weaving all over again!!!
* DO YOU USE an "OIL BASED STAIN" to stain your "Machine Cane"
Chair Bottoms'??? Learned yesterday when you use this "METHOD" of staining "Machine Cane"
the "OIL BASED STAIN" will "RUB" OFF ON YOUR CLIENT'S CLOTHES!!!
And that's not a good thing is it? So what's the absolute best "Stain" to use
when you stain your "Machine Cane" Chair Bottoms'??? The answer will be posted
in a few days!!! * When I delivered the "Cane, & "Rush" Chair
Bottoms' to my Clients' in Ashland, Virginia yesterday I also picked up an "Antique"
Piano (?) Bench with "Machine Cane" in it to do with the promise of more "Projects"
coming from "Northern Virginia" to do!!!

* I'M A TRAVELING MAN!!! SHORT ERRANDS THOUGH!!! * ON WINDS DAY APRIL 20,
(MIDNIGHT MAGIC) 2011 @ 12:39 AM EST.!!!
* It never ceases to
amaze me what really "STUPID" people (In My Opinion) "Post" on the internet "YOU TUBE"
videos without legal disclaimers' if they need them as a result of consulting with a lawyer!!!
For example I would "THINK" a video for a "METHOD" to remove the spline from a
"Machine Cane Chair Bottom" using another "Method" other than the "Standard Spline
Removing Chisel Method" etc. WHICH "MAY" DAMAGE SOMEBODYS' CLIENTS' CHAIRS' may need the "CORRECT" legal disclaimer to protect themselves from un wanted lawsuits'
concerning "THEIR" removal "METHOD"!!! * This
"Post" was short, maybe not sweet; but finished until... because it's 1:24 AM EST. in the wee hours of
the morning, & I'm sleepy!!! * 6:57 (TOO EARLY FOR ME); but I'm
up, dressed, getting ready to eat that, I'm tired of hearing about it, bowl of Oatmeal Fuel,
take the Meds, Load up Hand Cane Chairs, "Rush" Chair Bottoms', & head North to Ashland,
Virginia to make my "Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving" Inventory Less here at "Country
Seat Weavers" !!! * The only thing I will regret
is that price of gas otherwise I'm looking forward to being on the road again today for a real "Change" os pace, & scenery!!! Always try to drive a different way each time I go somewhere
so that I may get a "New" surprise of this or that on the road!!!
* My last stop today at Governor's Antiques' was the primary reason for my heading North to Richmond,
Virginia today, & that was to ask their MASTER FURNITURE MAKER, & MASTER FURNITURE REFINISHER
"BO" a question about "Matching" Furniture Color Stains, & "REFINISHING"
"MACHINE CANE" in particular!!! * The "Expense", &
"Time" was more than worth it because I learned "BO'S" Secrets about refinishing "Machine
Cane" which I will immediately begin using, & incorporate into my "Machine Cane"
Refinishing here at "Country Seat Weavers'"!!! * Didn't run out of "MONEY"
today; but I did something which appeared like "RUNNING OUT OF GAS" because "WATER"
was in my gas!!! No fun until we resolved the issue!!! * "CHEERS" with a health drink!!!

* Unfortunately
I am still not out of the woods' where "Rush" Chair Bottoms to do are concerned!!! The
"Real Test" will be what the "Rush" material color consistency will be when I order
my next ten (10) pound coil of "Rush"!!! Hopefully it will be the same!!! *
It's after one (1) in the morning, & I'm really glad that the end of the "Rush" Chair Bottom tunnel
is in sight as far as "Weav- ing "Rush" Chair Bottoms is concerned!!!
* My "Student" came yesterday, & we are almot finished "Weaving" a "Rush" Chair
Bottom with only the final adjustments to be made to the "Rush" Chair Bottom which will be completed
on Thursday!!! * Then I'm going to take a short break from "Teaching",
& do some of the projects that I really "NEED" to do!!!
* Well, the eye lids are getting heavy so I'm going to shut this computer down, & finish this "Post"
at... * 9:09 M EST., Oatmeal Fuel breakfast consumed, Meds taken,
Dressed, & a day ahead of me with "Rush" Chair Bottoms, & more more "Rush" Chair Bottoms'
to "Weave", "Refinish" until they're all completed, & delivered tomorrow!!!
* Of course I'll have to visit my local "Big Box" hardware to pick up some foam brushes, & "Clear" Shellac to complete the"Refinishing" process!!!
& yes I really do miss my local "Mom, & Pop Hardware Store" which has
gone the way of the Dinosaurs' due to the "Big Box" hardware retailers' with whom they simply
could not compete with for obvious reasons'!!! * Read several "BLOGS"
today which I enjoy following from time to time!!! They are "Cold Antler Farm Blog", "Esther's
Blog, & both are excellent writers which you just also might enjoy!!!

I crawl out of the sack, & greet the day!!! * !0:50 AM EST., &
I'm starting my day later than usual; but a Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel is over, Meds taken, Fluids in the
'42 have been checked so I can get out of these four (4) walls for a little while today
regardless of what the price of gas is here in Colonial Heights, Virginia!!!
* "Caning" today? Nope!!! "Rushing" today? Yep!!! Will "Square
Up" another "Hitchcock" "Rush" Chair Bottom this afternoon, & "Weave"
