* "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

* "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"!!!

       * "CHEERS" with a health drink!!!

* 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!!!

       * 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", &

       * 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'!!!

       * Well, it's pushing five (5) in the morning so I will bring this
  "Post" to a close, & finish it up later this morning when I crawl out

       * !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
