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!

* BLESSED PEACE, & REST!!! * ON SAT UR DAY APRIL 30, (EARLY MORNING
SLEEPLESSNESS) 2011 @ 3:32 AM EST.!!!
* A "Day"
to never forget!!! No "Post" until after the SUN Sets in the "West"!!!
* "STEAMER METHOD FOR REMOVING SPLINES' FROM MACHINE CANE CHAIRS'"!!!
* While waiting this past Friday afternoon to get a haircut I picked up a Woodworking
magazine, & read a short article by Master Woodworker, Scot Phillips, Host of "The American
Woodshop", & the "Subject" was dealing with using "Steam" in Woodworking!!! * He talked about compromising the "FINISH' on "ANY" "Woodworking Project" using "STEAM"!!!
* Using this "STEAM METHOD" is also not used by Wood- working Experts!!! SO
WHY SHOULD ANY "CHAIR CANER" ON THE PLANET USE IT!!! IT"S DOWN RIGHT "DANGEROUS"
TO NOT ONLY THE "FINISH" TO YOUR "CLIENTS CHAIRS'"; BUT THE
"VALUE" OF YOUR "CLIENTS" CHAIRS'"!!! * Now that
I've shared with you what I learned while I was waiting to have my hair cut I will "Share"
my day with you from 11:17 AM EST. on this morning which was a "Carbon Copy" of every
day this past week as far as my Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel, & Meds were concerned with the exception of the
time I got up to greet each day!!! ***** OH, TUESDAY I WILL SHARE
WITH YOU WHAT THE EXPERTS' ALTERNATIVE WAS TO USING STEAM, & IT DOESN'T
COMPROMISE YOUR "CLIENTS'" "MACHINE CANE CHAIRS' "FINISH" OR "DESTROY"
THE "VALUE" OF YOUR "CLIENTS'" "MACHINE CANE CHAIRS'"!!! * "CHEERS" with a health drink!!!

* "RUSH" CHAIR BOTTOMS', STAIN COLORS', ETC.!!! * ON FRY DAY APRIL 29, ( GUILTY AGAIN "POSTING"
AFTER MIDNIGHT) 2011 @ 1:29 AM EST.!!!
* Since I can "NO
LONGER" purchase the stain "PURITAN PINE" from the manufacturer I am on a mission to
hopefully locate this one (1) "STAIN COLOR" from another manufacturer!!! Need this
Stain Color to finish a "Lincoln Rocker" Reproduction!!! * This will
be a very brief post because I'm just not ready to call it a day in spite of it being 1:40 AM EST. in the morning!!! * I'm almost "Home" where "Caning", & Weaving" is concerned just need to receive that last order of "Rush" material, & I can finally get er done!!!
Then on to...WHO KNOWS!!! But "COUNTRY SEAT WEAVERS" will continue to exist giving the same "Museum
Quality" "Caning, Weaving", & "Service" with a diffeent craftsman
running the business!!! * Well, that's all folks until later this morning at... * 10:04, & I haven't finished getting ready for the day yet; but I've
had my usual Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel, Meds, & thinking about what direction I should go concerning
the "Stain Color" issues!!! This issue really needs to be resolved, & the sooner, the
better!!! * Picked up two (2) different stain colors this afternoon which
I hope will get a "Hand Cane, & Machine Cane" Chair Bottom out the front door of the
shop!!! "Puritan Pine" Stain Color is no longer offered by my manufacturer which
I have been using for years so the search will continue where this stain is concerned!!!
* "CHEERS" with a health drink!!!

* STILL IN THE * ON THURS DAY APRIL 28, (AFTER MIDNIGHT) 2011 @
12:51 AM EST.!!!
* Finished up my last "Hitchcock" "Rush"
Chair Bottoms' this evening until another shipment of "Rush" Material arrives!!!
* Matching Stains for "Antique" "Caned, & Woven Chairs'" has become a little more "Challenging"
because some of the "Stain Colors'" I have been using for years' are no available so I will have to begin using more than one (1) manufacturer (If I can locat ones') to get the "Stain
Colors'" we need!!! * Short "Post" so off to bed I go at 1:03
until...& besides I am really, really tired for a change!!! * I
got up late, 9:38 AM EST.; but not to late, just thirty minutes off of my goal!!! Should not have
rolled over, & went back to bed!!! Now that a Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel has been eaten I need to take my Meds, & then get dressed for the day * Next
I'm going to drive "North" to Richmond, Virginia, & begin a very serious look for
"Stains" (From Different Manufacturers) so that I can continue to "Match" stains for
these "Antique" "Cane, & Woven" Chair Bottoms I do from time to time!!! * KEEP YOU "POSTED" ON THE "STAIN COLOR" ISSUE
WHICH IS MORE THAN SERIOUS AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED!!!
* "CHEERS"
with a health drink!!!

* PART TIME R & R CONTINUES!!! * WINDS DAY APRIL 27, (BEDTIME
DELAYED) 2011 @ 12:08 AM EST.!!!
* When I do a "Chair
Caning or Seat Weaving Project" I always do what I see that no one else may see!!! It's about completeness, being through, or just doing the project like I would do it for my- self!!! Through the years
I have noticed that the very first thing "Clients'" do nine (9) times' out of ten (10) is
to turn the Chair up side down, & look at the bottom!!! *After
I get up this morning I will continue working on three (3) different "Projects" which require three
(3) different sets' of Craft Skills, & they are "Rushing" a Chair Bottom, Refinishing a
Porch Rocker, & last but not least Restoring an "Antique Piano Bench"!!! This make for a day
which will not be boring, & will not have a dull moment!!!
* Before I forget, the other day, Monday, my enthusiastic "Student" brought to "Chair
Caning Class" four different types' of "Chair Caning" Chair "Projects'" to "Class",
& asked me what needed to be done to each one before "Caning" them so that they
could learn "How to" do them so they could broaden their "Chair Caning Craft Skills"!!!
Yep, there is more to do to your "Clients'" Chairs' than just "Caning", & "Weaving"
them!!! * The clock is ticking, & it's 11:25 so it's time to hit the
hay, & finish this "Post" arouud ... * 10: 07 AM
EST., & in just a few minutes it's all over, Breakfast of Oatmeal Fuel, Meds, Birdbath, & getting
ready for my part time working "Projets'" day dealing with Caned chairs etc.so I have interesting
days to look forward to during my retirement years' to keep the bordum to a minumum!!!

* ON TWO'S DAY APRIL 26, (SON SHINE, CLOUDS,
?) 2011 @ 1:51 PM EST.!!!
* As you can see by the time of
this late "Post" (Reminds me of a "Ricky Nelson" Song "It's Late"
etc.) I'm just returning Home after a hectic morning of "Personal Business" to take care which included "Taxi Service" for a friend to & from our local Wal Mart!!
* 9:00 is the time I got up, & started this morning with the usual you know what (Oatmeal Fuel, Fruit,
& Meds), & then out the door I went to do one of my weekly chores for my "Genuime"
friend whom we can count on one hand!!! * Shortly I will have lunch with desert,
then turn my attention to a "Rush" Chair Bottom, & Refinishing a "Porch Rocker" with
a "Binder Cane" Chair Bottom, & Back!!! The "Porch Rocker" will
be a labor of "Thanks" to a "NEW" Client whom cared enough to stop by, & check on
me shartly after having "MAJOR" "Open Heart Surgery" to see whether I was just "Busy"
or "Sick"!!! As Allen discovered I was more than "Sick"; but really blessed to be alive!!! * Sanded, & Cleaned the bottom of an "Antique Piano
Stool" with a "Machine Cane" Bottom in it which will have the restoration work on the bottom of this project completed within the next few days, then we'll install the "Machine Cane"!!!
And we didn't remove the "Spline" from this "Antique Piano Stool" using
the "Steamer Method" either which may not only "Damage" the "Patina"
on this "Antique Piano Stool'; but "Destroy" the "Antique Value"
as well!!!
