Great video! Thank you. How many times can I wet the rush in water? I plan to do the job over the course of a few days. Do I wet the rush each time I work as needed or do I wet all of the rush each time I work the job?

I have to thank you very much. You’re calm, matter of fact, easily explained method helped me get through the installation of a cane webbing antique bench.

Does anyone know where to get the riempjes from? Is there a site?

Thanks for this.

Terrible video. You really can't see anything.

Is there a type of wire that works best to help hold the cane together?

Sweet. Now I just have to figure out how to restore the table. It has no leaf or legs.

What is the longer tool called and where can I get it

Thank you for the detailed instructions. I want to replace the rush in my great grandmother's rocking chair but didn't know how.

I have a couple of cracker barrel rocking chairs that a cat destroyed the papercord. I think I can tackle this project now.

This was an awesome instructional. I came away thinking both "This is doable!" and, "This guy's a master craftsman." Thanks!

Excellent information! Very well presented. I am confident now i can tackle these project

Thanks!

Very nice explanation. Thanks

Really clear and helpful instructions. Thank you so much. I did four chairs for myself years ago and am now doing four chairs for a friend. Did the first one before watching this video and relearning....I may have to do it again!

You guys are marvelous teachers!

Great video. Thanks for showing all steps clearly.

REally nice, good job !!

That was a most wonderful and professional demonstration, I enjoyed watching it. Thank you for posting this.

In terms of investing in antique shaker chairs, is it preferable to search for a rush seat or a taped seat? Does it matter? What were the first shaker chairs made from, rush or tape or splint? Is there one type of seating that lasts longer and is more durable? Thank you.

Thank you for an excellent demonstration. I replaced the seat in my rocking chair this week. The seat was not stationary. Every time I turned the chair over or pulled the rush, the seat moved. It was most difficult and I will probably not try again. I pulled as hard as I could to try and keep it tight. I guess I’m just not strong enough and it doesn’t lay exactly flat. All in all it is as you said “sit able.” Thank again.

hi , how many ft is in each coil? thank you!

I was wondering what you do if you run out of shaker tape at the last row? i bought another roll but not sure how to start the new roll? Any help would be Greatly appreciated!🙏🏼

Thanks for this video, it's been super helpful! Please settle an ongoing conversation with my partner, where is your accent from?! We've been debating it for as long as we've been weaving (so far too long)

What is the small crock pot for??

Thank you!

Thank you for this very helpful video. I bought two ladderback chairs with rush seats. One chair is in fine shape, the other has a “rush gap” near the center where perhaps a strand had broken. I bought matching rush but needed guidance. Your video provided that guidance. 👍🏼

Oh, thank you so much!! I did the first step normally and then decided to not proceed until I found out what to do about the curve. Now I can start over and use your system. ❤

Me encanta gracias por la técnica

I M P R E S S I VE..! Ditto to the rest here; outstanding commentary & teaching skills - you made my project (two ladder back chairs, circa 1940's) turn out fantastic. A Master for sure; Thank you.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

excellent video! very thorough & left nothing left nothing in question. two tips I'd like to share... one, when cutting out the excess cane along the edges while you're soaking your spline, I tried using one of those curved cuticle nail clippers & it worked very well. the curved part allows you to cut pieces below the groove. also, I would recommend using hide glue (old brown glue) to glue in the spline. if you look at your chairs longterm, they're eventually going to need to be recaned at some point. whether a kid puts their knee through one, or just wear and tear. regular wood glue is way too strong & will form a near permanent fuse, which could be problematic when needing to remove the spline down the road. the bond could end up so strong that you may end up damaging the wood around the groove. hide glue will hold the spine in place when dried, but will be much easier to work with when needing to remove it. I used a steamer to melt glue underneath the splines of my chairs & they popped out with a little elbow grease. most importantly, there was no damage to my chairs from having to apply too much pressure & removing a chunk of wood off the chairs along with the spline. again, great video! thanks.

I love your videos. They have been so helpful as I redo a set of Møller 75s. I wish I could get and keep my coil of cord as neat as you do. Feel like I’m spending a good chunk of time wrestling with it.

Bonjour, pourrais avoir les explications en français s il vous plaît, car je suis très intéressé, merci

Love it! Very well presented. I have passed on and gotten rid of chairs for not knowing how to replace and thinking the chair was done for. I have two chairs currently that need to be replaced and I am looking forward to adding the cord myself. Thank you.

excelente trabajo, pero si fuera tan amable de decir ¿que material es?

Very complete.

Hi @silverriverchairs. Where are you situated? I am in Dallas in the US and need to redo my riempie chairs. Don't know where I can get Riempies....Can you ship?

Can you do a paper rush pattern with Danish Cord?

Neat work an very usefull tutorial👍

Thorough, clear and well presented video, appreciated!

Thank you so much ! I love your method ! It eliminates the poofy ones that somehow end up on the back. I also agree with never doing those angles ---even on the seats. It takes away the neat look of the edges, even underneath. I will take these instructions to class ! Love you !

thank you 🙂 lots of help and great tips

A true, artistic master craftsman you’re always kicking it up a notch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.

Thank you! I've watched several videos on this and yours is by far the most thorough. My confidence is boosted and I'll be watching this again, step by step, as I finally do this!

This was great!! Thank you for posting and creating such an interesting place. Hope to see you someday.
