    Thank you for this. I’ve replaced seats on 5 of the 6 authentic 1950’s Moller chairs I inherited from my mother using your wonderful technique. I’m on the last one now and almost regret finishing this satisfying project. You are a masterful teacher. Couldn’t have done it without you. (Btw: the chairs look amazing and everyone thinks I’m a genius haha) Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge.

    I'm from INDIA the country used to have this kind of art. But now a days modern chairs are taking their places. In 1980's 90% people used to have weaved CHARPAI or KHAAT in their Home.Very nice sir.

    Ed - incredibly good instructional video. I have been waiting a long time to replace the weave on my grandparents four chairs (and table) that I inherited. It is one of my most cherished possessions and now that I have the time to do this (quarantined like the rest of us) I am going to do it. Since the estimate I got from a local weaver was about $400 a chair - which I do not have. I would have never attempted this without your video. Thank you! I feel I can do this.

I couldn't believe the first seat got cut off , that shocked me.

  • @katherinem5670
    @katherinem5670 Před 10 lety +4

    I used to count the number of wraps between the double warp strands and try to replicate it, but it would often not work out right. Then I realized I can just wrap until I reached a nail. Centering the warp strands directly over each nail generally works great (though sometimes the guy who put the original nails in didn't space them very evenly, then you have to adjust a bit).

  • @s1udgeguts
    @s1udgeguts Před 5 lety

    Re, tacking the cord to start off. I've done quite a few of these over the years, they were all started off with the cord fed over/under the side nails, I have never seen an original wrap where the maker tacked the cord, so I honestly believe your fears of the cord coming loose are completely unfounded and I cannot imagine why any book on the subject would advocate the use of tacks, given that these chairs were originally made back in the 50s and they've lasted all this time.

  • @theoldtyke.4085
    @theoldtyke.4085 Před 5 lety

    Regarding the number of wraps between each pair of strands - when I did my chairs, before removing the original seat, I counted the total number of wraps on each rail - that is strands around plus actual wraps. So I had 2x4 strands then 15 x 2 strands - 38 in total plus 16 gaps with 4 or maybe 5 wraps per gap, sometimes 3, sometimes 6! To keep the seat symmetrical, each side of the centre pin had alternating wraps of 5 and 4 (so each side had 36 wraps starting with 5 and ending with 4 wraps closest to the outer rail where there is 4 strands. You can have 4 either side of centre but then you end with 5 wraps and 4 strands which I felt looked a bit 'heavy'). The front rail, being slightly wider, had more wraps

  • @lauraleikassel3716
    @lauraleikassel3716 Před 9 lety +3

    I have many questions: 1) how do you know how much cord you need? is there a formula using the measurements? 2) Is Danish Cord called something else? I cannot find a supplier. Also, someone else mentioned Sisal. I cannot find that either. 3) Would Seagrass work as well and hold up as well? and finally 4) how do you determine how much to charge someone to do this? I have found industry averages for cane weaving, hole caning and mat caning, but not for Danish cord or Rafita.
    Thanks for any and all info, help and/or suggestions!

    • @peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113
      @peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113  Před 9 lety +1

      Most chairs will take one or two coils of Danish cord. We sell it at peerlessrattan.com. We don't carry sisal. Seagrass is harder to weave with and gives a different look.

    I've been watching only for a few minutes so I don't know if my question will be answered later on, but here it is. The thing is I have the frame of an old little bench that I would like to weave this way and it was originally weaved in the backrest too. I can't find anyone around here who can do the job and it always frightened me to do it myself as I don't know where to begin really, but maybe with the help of this wonderful video I can consider the feat! The thing is my bench doesn't even have any nails left in it, so I would have to do that part of the job too...How to understand the spacing and positioning of the nails, the use of space in the bench and so on? Should I use the same width of the cord as you have even if the bench is bigger than a chair ( I suppose so) and how should I understand how much cord I need in advance? The bench seating is 94x47 cm (37x18,5 inches) and the backrest is 94x22 cm (37x8,66). They both have a wooden bar in the middle (so it's like two chairs united sharing one side). I hope you can provide some advice, thankyou!

  • @slave2nun
    @slave2nun Před 9 měsíci

    I came to this video to fix a rocking chair that has this look on the weave. The problems are 1) It was done without the nails. The rush wraps around the parts of the chair, and 2) the outside corners of the seat have curves that are filled with diagonal lines of rush.
    Any advice on where to go for a how to on this?

  • @drasco61084
    @drasco61084 Před 2 lety

    Maybe I missed it, what happens if a nail breaks or un-bends when you hammer it back down, or once the seat is complete and you sit on it? I am guessing since it's not under too much tension you can just grab the loose loops and nail them back down with a new nail but re-using things like that makes me a bit nervous!

    Hi Ed, Fantastic video - I'm preparing to weave 5 Moller #78 chairs. I've noticed that the first series of longer wraps (completed at 13:00) have some play in them. Should they flop a little early on or should I be able to pluck them like a guitar sting (obviously not that tight but taught)? Many thanks!

  • @ancientheart2532
    @ancientheart2532 Před 4 lety

    Ed, I'm watching you putting in a splice with tacks and wondering if you've ever tried a 'bailing twine knot' to splice? An old farmer showed it to me many years ago; you end up with a strong knot; not much bigger than the twine that pulls straight. The idea there is that it will feed through the bailer without catching. Might work well for cord, too.
