* "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

* IT'S "RUSH" CHAIR SEATS' 4 THE WEEK END 2!!!

  * ON SAT UR DAY MAY 21, (SUN SHINE with CLOUDS) 2011
  @ 10:31 AM EST.!!!

       * An "Alarm Clock" is something that I do not own; but it's going
  to be put on a "Must Purchase" list so that I can put a grinding halt
  to my "See Saw" "Wake Up" schedule every day where an Oatmeal
  Fuel Breakfast, & most important "MEDS" are concerned!!!  This
  must change regardless of whether I'm "Retired" or not!!!
       * "PREP WORK' is the key to a winning "Show Truck", & the
  same goes for "Museum Quality" "Rush" Chair Bottoms'!!!  When they
  are "LAYED OUT", & "SQUARED UP" "CORRECTLY" you get a
  "Museum Quality" "Rush" Chair Bottom every single time with
  absolutely no exceptions!!!  That's WHY we get work in Virginia from
  everywhere!!!  The winning "FORMULA" is two (2) inches from the 
  front "Rail", & then three quarters (3/4) of an inch until you run out
  of "Stiles" on both sides!!!  It's all about being uniform!!!
       * It's 10:05 & I'm laying out a "Hitchcock" "Rush" Chair Bottom
  which will be done either tomorrow, or MUN DAY depending on "How
  Many"  Shaker "Shawl" Back Chairs' I complete tomorrow!!!
       * And after this it's really time to call it a day!!!

       * "CHEERS" with a health drink!!!

  * ON FRY DAY MAY 20, (SUNSHINE +) 2011 @ 8:46 AM EST.!!!

       * Well, I up & at 'em undressed sitting here at this computer
  hunting, & pecking with a day of "Rushing" Chair Bottoms' on the
  horizon after an Oatmeal Breakfast, Meds, not to forget a "Bird-
  bath, & of course getting dressed for the day!!!
       * Doesn't sound very exciting, does it?  Well, that's the very
  way I have felt about "Caning, & Weaving" for a long time so after
  I finish two (2) final Chairs for a "Special" Client which are a "Rush" 
  Chair Bottom, a "repair, & Restoration "Project I will let go lett-
  ing the "New" Craftsman do "ALL" of the "Projects" here at dear
  old "Country Seat Weavers'"!!!
       * And I will get that "Piano" "Machine Cane" Bench Top shipped
  off to "Northern Virginia" today!!!  Promise!!!  GONE!!!  And it is
  not only "Cheaper" to "Ship" it to "Northern Virginia"; but saves
  money, & time for everyone involved!!!

* SURPRISES' IN CHAIRS' AFTER TEAR DOWNS'!!!

  * ON THURS DAY MAY 19, (ANOTHER MIDNIGHT EXPERIENCE)
  2011 @ 12:38 AM EST.!!!

       * Before you start "Caning, & Rushing" Chair Bottoms' you really
  need to take a basic course in "Woodworking" for the many surprises
  you will encounter when you do Chair tear downs be it "Cane", "Rush",
  or what have you!!!  This knowledge will enable you to do most of the
  "Woodworking" repairs yourself!!!
       * For examples' "Yellow Glue" problems' with "Hand Cane"
  Chairs, "Broken Stiles" with "Hitchcock" "Rush" Chair Bottoms'
  require two (2) completely different "Woodworking" Skills' to repair,
  & restore which occured within a matter of days'!!!
       * Get the picture WHY it's not a good idea; but a great idea to
  take a basic "Woodworking" course!!!  It's a "Favor" you will be glad
  you did for yourself!!!
       * After one (1) again so it's off to bed I go because I do think
  a good nights' sleep (if I can get one) will help me have a great day
  tomorrow so until...
       * 8:23 AM EST. translates into I got up a little earlier than
  usual today so with Oatmeal Fuel Breakfast over I'll have to wait
  a little while to take my Meds, after taking a Birdbath, & gett-
  ing dressed for the day which will be another day of "Weaving"
  "Rush" Chair Bottoms which will carry over into next week before
  the set of six (6) "Shaker" "Shawl" back Chairs are delivered!!!
  And I'll throw in a little "Teaching" (Sharing) to change, & shake
  my day up a little!!!

  time to sign off on this "Post" & finish it around...8:59 AM EST.

  to greet another day!!!
       * Ordered "Quality" Material this afternoon from my "NEW"
  Vendor here on the East coast for a "Binder Cane" Porch Rocker, &
  some "Hand Cane" for three (3) "Hand Cane" Chairs'!!!
       * Picked up a single "Rush" Chair Bottom to do today, & have
  two (2) more to pick up which are on a waiting list because my shop
  has absolutely no space left to take in another chair of any kind!!!
  And I have two (2) others to pick up in Ashland, Virginia when I
  make deliveries there the first of the week; but I won't know what
  they are until I see them which doesn't make any difference be-
  cause of the description they gave us we can easily do them!!!

* "RUSH" CHAIR BOTTOMS STILL RULE!!!

       * ON SON DAY MAY 15, (SUN SHINE + ?) 2011 @ 8:32 AM
  EST.!!!

       * With an early start on the day I've actually completed an
  early "Oatmeal Fuel Breakfast (Double Portion), taken Meds, & have
  yet to take a "Birdbath", & get dressed; but this morning will be one
  of R & R, & then this afternoon I'll start on doing eleven (11) "Rush"
  Chair Bottoms'!!!
       * Ugh some say about "Weaving" more than twenty pounds of
  "Rush" material; but if you are using the "Rush Ruler" TM Method
  for "Squaring Up" "Rush" Chair Bottoms' it actually is a far easier 
  "Project" than you "Think" it is!!! 
       * Above in the "FOTO" is one of the "Rush" Chair Bottoms'
  I'll be doing which is a "Hand Made" Shaker "Shawl Bach" Chair
  from Charlottesville, Virginia, & it's "Museum Quality" Crafts-
  manship!!!
       * Continued working on the transformation of the '42 Chevy
  truck into a '40's box truck!!!  It's going to be a challenge, & will
  also be a really "FUN" project to do through complection!!!

       * "CHEERS" ( ALL AROUND) with a health drink!!!
