Machine Cane Chair Preperation
101!!!
Machine Cane Wedges!!!
* Machine Cane
Wedges absolutely must have the sharp edges
removed before using them on a Machine Cane Chair Bottom!!!
Machine Cane Groove Preperation
101!!!
* The sharp edges on the absolute very top of the inner groove
must be removed without damaging the Machine
Cane Groove prior
to your installing the machine cane!!!
This must be done very precisely!!!
The tool
you use for removing the sharp edges is a radius plane!!!

* Using a modified Carpenter's Framing Square (the blade or
body is shortened to 6" so you can do
all sizes of Machine Cane
Chairs' & Sofas') to layout odd shaped Machine Cane Chair Bottoms
makes
it extremely accurate, & much easier to do your Machine
Cane Chair bottom layouts accurately!!!
Measuring once, laying out front, & back at the same time, &
saving additional time in the layout process!!!

* Machine Cane Chair Staining
Tip
* When I get
a Machine Cane Chair to do which a Client wants stained I always order an extra 6
inches of Machine
Cane so that I can do a "Stain Square" fot the Client, & have the Client sign off
on it!!!
Color Charts are absolutely no substitute fo a 2" or 3" Stain Square!!!" And Client, & I then
are both on the exact same page because we agree on the stain color, & it's on the money!!!
Just like "Measuring Twice, Cutting Once!!!"

MACHINE CANE JIG BOX TM IN USE!!! CHAIR CAN BE MOVED FROM AREA TO AREA DURING SPLINE REMOVAL & THE MACHINE
CAN INSTALLA- TION!!!
|
* The reason for The Machine
Cane Jig Box TM is "FORCE...
At the same time surface force resist the downward force with
equal
upward force!!!"
* When you remove the Spline out of the groove in the bottom
of a Machine Cane Bottom you are applying a lot of dowmward
FORCE!!!
When you install Machine Cane in the
bottom of a Machine
Cane Chair you are very gently applying downward FORCE!!!
When you install the Spline in the Machine Cane Chair Bottom
to hold the Machine Cane in place you are applying
much more
downward FORCE!!!
You can now completely eliminate downward
FORCE when
doing a Machine Cane Chair Bottom by using a Machine Cane Jig
Box TM!!!
It almost completely eliminates breaking, splitting the Machine
Cane Chair Groove area, etc. when doing a Machine
Cane Chair Bottom!!!
"Since antiquity, scientist have used the concept of FORCE
in
study of stationary, and moving objects!!!"
