That was awesome. I picked up a round chair from facebook market place that has a hole in the center. So, Iam going to unravel it and redo the thing after first refinishing the chair. Thanx for showing how to weave the rattan seat.😊
got a family rush weaved rocking chair passed down to me,, taking it apart as it's a mess -- so thankful for this video - hope my attempt will be 50% of this quality
Thank you so much! This video was great. I just finished my first of two chairs. It isn’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it looks good and most importantly my chair now has a seat. I’m very hopeful that the next one will turn out better. I learned a lot and know what to look for when I do my second one. Thanks again!
Very neat! I was especially pleased that there were no knots when extending the twine. Question: why weren’t the ends of the twine further strengthened with glue?
Well yours looks terrific. The question is CAN I GET THE SAME RESULTS?!?! gonna find the materials and attempt. If I fail it's ON ME because your video was extremely informative.
OK, well I'm glad I watched this video before tackling the back of a chair because I wasn't going to do it like that and would have got it wrong! Excellent video.
Thank you so much for the incredibly detailed video. I have three chairs i've been wanting to replace the Ruch. You've given me the knowledge. Thank you!!
You are a God send. I have a beautiful chair I bought at a thrift shop. The rush is all cracked and broken. I was hesitant to fix it but you are such an amazing teacher that I feel confident to fix it. Ordering my rush. Thank you so much!!
I am caning a rocking chair. The seat I did as usual, but the back is difficult. My horizontal strands seem to stick way out. Is there a different technique for rocking chair backs?
Thank you for this video. I have two chair seats that need re-caning. I now feel like I can accomplish this task. However, what size cane do I order and how does one figure out how the length to start with?
Wow, a video that is thorough and simplistic at the same time. Bravo. Question #1: Noise? I grew up with chairs woven with "rush", so know the slight "adjustment" squeak the pattern makes when you sit down. Does this reed emit a rubbing sound, too? Question #2: Padding? I see in the comments where someone added newspaper padding. And I have seen where rush is packed with cardboard scraps. Is filler unnecessary or recommended as an added step? Question #3: Finish? Does reed take stain? Is a sealer/varnish/shellac/oil rub recommended to prevent damage/discoloration? I will trust the YT algorithm to serve me up more of your videos, but I put these questions here if you care to jumpstart my research. I had been studying Shaker tape, but this video has promoted reed to the frontrunner spot FWIW. thanks
Ha, this is great. I followed Ed's video to recane a Toll painted vanity bench. It wasn't eazy but it would have been impossible without Ed's guidance. Looking fw to the woven seat project.
Wonderful videos. I’m about to rerush my parents 1970s Magistretti chairs. Great instructions and very clearly explained. Hoping I can adapt the techniques for our chairs. Thank you for being so generous with your time and expertise.
bonjour les assises de mes chaises sont rectangulaires et je me demandais comment combler les angles . Même si je ne parle pas Anglais vos vidéos sont tellement claires que je vais me lancer Par contre je ne sais pas ce que vous utilisez comme corde Félicitations .
