How To Weave A Chair Seat With Danish Cord

How to weave a chair seat using Danish cord.
This is how I learned to do it, this is A way, not the only way, there are plenty of other videos on how to do it and I encourage you to check them out to see what works best for you.
Here is the video I used to teach myself how to weave these Danish chairs:
Ed Hammond: • Danish Cord
This is unlaced Danish cord, I bought it from Cane and Basket online.
This chair did not have original Danish nails, rather it had brad nails from the last time it was re-woven.
Here are some links to some of the tools I used.

One chair down, seven to go!! Your video is super helpful. It was going to cost $250/chair to get them rewoven, but I bought supplies locally for them (at Frank's Cane and Rush Supply in Huntington Beach, CA) for $140.

"There ya go! All done" 😂 this must have taken you hours!!! I love it though!!!

[@juliesebert6209]

Thanks !

[@FURRYNATIONSALVATION]

LOVE THE VIDEO! I follow you on Instagram and didn’t realize you are on here too. I’m about to weave an old vintage teak chair, so needed a confidence boost from
A few videos. Enjoyed yours ! Thank you

[@MYRAANDJEAN]

Amazing, thank you!

[@ashleyberry857]

Great explanations, thank you

[@LazyGuyDIY]

Great video Graham!

[@MinervaEnterprises]

Thanks Adam 👍

[@timothyandrewnielsen]

Looks great. Good job.

[@MinervaEnterprises]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@IMEEMADE]

Nice one! Man that's tedious work, but it came out looking so good!

[@MinervaEnterprises]

Thanks, I really enjoyed weaving, I've done a set of 4 so far.

[@mariaritamantelliaboingome8906]

Maravilha!

Any recommendations for removing paint stains from paper cord chairs?

[@zZbentt]

Hi nice video! I’m just finishing a copy of a Werner ch23, trying to figure out spacing/layout for the nails. I see that the nails on the front and back rails are wider. Any specific measurements for front/back and sides? Thanks

[@MinervaEnterprises]

i usually just take a measurement of the width, put the first nails about 3/8 in from the edge then evenly divide the rest to get a total of 17 nails

[@MrJin520]

That looks awesome. Where do you get the Danish cord?

[@MinervaEnterprises]

You can get it at cane and basket or Frank's cane and rush both have online shops

[@woodworker-org-uk]

Is the front rail wider than the back, is that why your fill is 5 wraps on the front rail, and four on the back??

[@StevenNewmanNEC]

Just watched your video. Very nice work and a very clear guide. I have a very old nursing rocker with a corded seat, which is tearing and I would love to replace the cording. However, the cord underneath is tied and not attached to a nailing strip. Any suggestions?

[@MinervaEnterprises]

it's a different weave, most likely the envelope weave, there are some other guides out there

[@StevenNewmanNEC]

@@MinervaEnterprises I have watched the envelope weave videos, but this one looks more like yours. Thanks for responding.

[@geringergasse2]

Thanks! Did you use danish paper chord or just normal hemp chord?

[@joohsay]

@Minerva Enterprises... if a client wanted to, can the rope be replaced with a fabric or leather option? OR if the chair had a leather or fabric cover, could they be exchange for cord? The Moeller chairs looks like its versatile like that. lol

[@MinervaEnterprises]

Yes, I've taken moller chairs that had fabric and added nails to cord them. Vice versa works as well

[@ChristopherWalsh-ff9ic]

How do you prevent the cord cutting at the front rail over time. I did six chairs about five years ago and they have all split from wear at the front rail. Should I pad the fron rail in some way?

[@MinervaEnterprises]

I usually soften the edge with sand paper, that's really the only thing you can do

[@maximetracol3229]

I am ready to start but I am not sure how to wrap the front/back. Do you do each side with 2 different pieces of cord for left and right (2x 50ft)? Or is it only one single 50ft piece for the front and one single 40ft piece for the back?

[@MinervaEnterprises]

One separate piece for the front and back, I fold it in half and start at the center nail

[@pepillopaz5849]

quiero a prender como en cordar la silla pero paso a paso tan rapido no lo en tiendo gracias un saludo

[@paulm965]

Great tutorial (except for the terrible guitar distraction). Thanks for sharing.

[@heizel4521]

How many yards of Danish cord did you used on that chair?

[@MinervaEnterprises]

2 pound spool will do a seat
