Weaving a Cane Seat (Ep 16 - Cedar Strip Canoe Build)

[@BrettWyrick]

Thanks for posting, my wife loved the video and now will be obsessed with caning for awhile! Thanks!

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

Brett Wyrick 👍🏽

[@keithsogge]

Thanks for showing this step - others tend to skip the details on this step.

Rocked it. Nice job. That looked really easy until you started. It got easier watching you. Thanks. I think I can do this.

[@pedroramos6386]

Que lo explique en español

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

Great job, very well done. I have some chairs my Grandfather did and always wanted to know how he did the cane seat. Now I know. Scott

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

The 2 Car Garage Shop that's awesome! Is the cane still good on them? I've weaved cane for my first canoe also and I've been surprised with how durable it is.

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

The seats are in great shape and at least 50 years old - not sure how old the chairs are but much older

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

The 2 Car Garage Shop that's crazy! Really cool!

[@ramizfrank8105]

Love you bro. ❤ That's a one of the finest cane weaving tutorial. Excellent 👍🏼

[@davidrobins7753]

Excellent instruction on how to. You did a beautiful job which I trust will last for a long time.

[@kelsey3016]

Wow! That was so easy to follow and looks so impressive! Thank you!

[@Eisenkehl]

this channel is great. exactly what I'd like to build with my old man.

[@kololikate]

I do the binding using alternate holes, and permanently peg the other alternate holes. I pass the loose end up through the hole to be pegged so that there are no loose end on the underside of the seat and it's much tidier. I put a temporary peg in the back corner hole and do the binding up to the front corner. I put the wide cane into the hole and take the next strip for the front edge. I insert the end into the hole but fold the cane back to the left, peg the hole and then fold the beading cane back and continue with the binding until I reach the next corner. In this way only the peg in the last hole can be seen.

[@oldgiapetto]

Excellent video. Just the facts, no BS, and clearly shown and explained. Thanks!!

[@gregb3457]

Awesome skill. Thank you Adam!

[@PaulIstoan]

This one is the most interesting video for me. Thanks for sharing!

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

Paul Iştoan thanks! I love this one too!

[@HollyX-o4x]

Thank you, that is a good starting point for me to attempt my first rattan re-caning project

[@TomR-GentlmnFarmer]

Great video, thx vm. Super helpful. Ready now to confidently repair an old rocking chair. 👍

[@sriharshu3810]

It's just ossem iam very happy to see this because no one like this it's very good I have no words to say super bro

[@AnimalAva]

Great finish

[@tommychung1766]

the end result is spectacular

[@PSLLP]

I'm so glad I came across this, this is a fantastic video! I have a chair that I rescued from the side of the road that I restored but have been too intimidated to cane the square seat. You've given me the confidence to go for it.

[@oscar-kibet]

You did it really well.Glad learning from you.

[@bobstewart4342]

Your very talented and I love your videos

[@anamariaacosta4370]

Hi, I love your video! It's amazing how easy the technique is! I can't wait to put it into practice! Thank you so much! Greetings from Argentina.

[@nalinabey13]

It's awesome dude... thanks for sharing your skill...

[@-theessence619]

[@davidr7333]

Great video!!!

[@BMtricks200]

So nice and perfect

[@Murilo-Basei]

Thanks guy! I'll make one of the first strip canoe here in Brazil with your help!

[@MichaelLawing]

This was cool. I've been interested in doing caning since doing some basket weaving as a kid. Great video!

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

Thanks Michael!!!

[@kololikate]

I do chair caning and always check the lie of the growth rings so that the canes doesn't strip when pulling it through on layer 4

[@patchworkmeuamor8175]

Seu trabalho é maravilhoso.Muito bom assistir os vídeos. Glaucia e Affonso from Brazil.

[@balbino4]

I would like to know if you have or can indicate a complete video teaching this process of stuffing a chair. Thanks a lot for the class.

[@davidrobins4025]

I've followed the journey through each video. I'd love to one day build my own cedar strip canoe. You have lit the fire to get me going.

[@lizmobe7587]

Muchas gracias, por este tumoral,me haz ayudado mucho y se que dios multiplicará tus enseñanzas, que dios te bendiga amigo

[@MsShrikant]

Very nice and useful video 👍 make another this type video

[@harshalpalaskar2593]

Fantastic 👌👌

[@elsaaguirre2320]

Hola miro el vídeo una y otra vez porq estoy interesada en aprender y tú técnica es muy fácil gracias por enseñar.

[@muhammadraufmrauf9722]

Very nice effort

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

great video!!

[@pikayell]

Thanks for this. Just finished caning a canoe seat. Is there some type of coating to apply to the cane that would keep it from drying out or add some toughness now that it's part of my canoe?

[@aloysodeoliveirafigueiredo4217]

Very nice. Thanks

[@PeeWee33772]

That was very therapeutic to watch, and a realy good Video Thank you.

[@glentoogood1209]

We are wood/canvas canoe builders and rebuilders. We call this the 'chair seat weave'. In our 'canoe seat weave' commonly used in Canada (and all our canoes and repairs), we do the first two layers together (the short ones), then the the other two, then the diagonals. It's somewhat easier, you don't 'get lost' as easily. We also do a few other details differently, but not in any important sense.

[@serolagazat]

Hello Adam, The distance between the holes. You say 3/4inch away from each other. Is this from center to center (of the holes) or is it between holes? Also do you varnish or anything the cane after weaving for protection?

[@d.s.hairbeauty5568]

Thank you so much, I have to weaving my couch

[@JJungHye]

Your video is pretty good teacher!!! I really want to make canning chair like that, where can i find that hollow wood foundation?? I have to make the hole???

[@CrimsonNblack]

Super helpful

[@jam010148]

Terrific video! - just caned my first canoe seat by following your video and looks great! thanks & keep the great videos coming!

[@waiting4aliens]

Thank you for a well done video.

[@atauderete]

Hermoso trabajo…!

[@JenkinsBoatWorks]

Great video. I have watched this multiple times. I am trying to link your video in my description in my latest video series where i am building a Freedom 17. I started caning one of my seats with regular natural cane and it keeps breaking. Finally at a point of frustration, I have ordered some plastic cane and will try that. Anyway, thanks! This is top notch! Cheers, Chuck

[@josselinpavoncornelio8798]

Muy bonito trabajo muy limpio

[@nicolas2714]

Nice work!...Which Is the distance between holes?...thancks

[@jimdodd3462]

Very nice tutorial Adam ! That caning looks cool ! I'd hate to get it wet !

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

Jim Dodd thanks Jim! Yeah I figure it'll last a couple years and then somebody can replace it with nylon rope or something

[@MrScubacat]

Your awesome. Just finishing caning the first of two canoe seats. Not my cup of tea. Your work is really outstanding!

[@Simplecove]

Damn man, that looks tricky! Looks awesome though. Good job!

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

SimpleCove thanks man!

[@marconascimento3761]

Sensacional o acabamento e fantástico

[@regainartntools85]

That was a very useful video. I have one doubt though..when the strand goes into the hole and comes out from the next hole, doesn't the shiny side go down?

[@GarySmythe]

Great video! The seat framing I have doesnt have holes drilled in the corners so wondering how to do the pattern in this situation?

[@PhibanpynkmenJamu]

Thankyou very much sir

[@chokolatosh7099]

Hallo my best friend Good job

[@sukka90infinity]

Parabéns pelo vídeo, consegui entender. Abraço do Brasil!

[@rogerlewis1181]

Did you drill the holes in the frame? I am looking for a guide or tutorial on drilling the holes for caning. Any advice?

[@sevuganirajendran9297]

thanks my dear

[@Necopat04]

EXCELENT!!!!. Tk!

[@ttyrtttyy]

Thank you

[@domharrison293]

Hey just wondering what you seal the cane on your canoe seats with? Do you use varnish or some natural oil? Thanks in advance, currently building a cedar strip canoe myself.

[@murtazarahimi2099]

Thank you so much

[@marlonf.naranjo6102]

Thank you for your videos of building the cedar strip canoe. They are great. Would you consider doing videos of building a plywood canoe? Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

This has been an awesome series. I was wondering if one could use that same process, but use a heavy nylon string? I have a composite canoe that I am having to modify in order to paddle it solo and I would like to use some traditional touches with modern materials.

[@chrisroberts7900]

I'm using type1 1/14 Paracord. I've just started and wondering if I'll have enough room in the holes for it all. Time consuming.

[@generalmoderator465]

and how did you cover those knots in the back?

[@wadda-yp8jm]

Thanks

[@opasworkshop8373]

hey Adam I got to give you a lot of credit there I would never have the patience to do that. by the time I got halfway through it already had three or four holes punched in it. great job my friend keep up the good work.

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

Opa's Workshop 😅hahaha thanks

[@beebob1279]

The cane work is beautiful. I'm likely leaving beekeeping after a long time. I'm looking for something new and I've done woodworking (built kitchen cabinets, etc.) and I'm looking at building a canoe and kayak to add to my other water craft. You have been doing a fantastic job, especially with your explanations. I'll likely be cutting my own cedar planks. This is so cool. A fun challenge!

[@VE3AVA]

Do you treat the cane after you have completed weaving?

[@cawag98]

Thanks for showing this. How long does it take once you've got the hang of if -- but before you're expert at it? It looks like mabe 2 - 3 hours?

[@reneschuster1875]

Awesome! !!

[@junebug295]

would you show us how to cane webbed metal scissors?

[@chrisloach9658]

Does cane need finishing or anything like that? How well does it survive being outside?

[@LKpixels]

What kinda wood is the frame?

[@juancastrillo1889]

tks gracias muy util

[@alcinosoares2229]

Preciso assistir novamente.

[@AlanMcKay]

Wow that was great - thanks! Do you think it would work with 2mm cord?

[@albainescabrera8629]

Puedo utilizar está técnica en sillas de varilla?

[@marcelforget89]

Now I have the song "Dream Weaver" by Journey stuck in my head! Thanks for sharing.

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

Marcel Forget haha dangit. I def should have had that song playing in the backgrounder the video

[@chrisroberts7900]

Dream weaver is not Journey it is Gary Wright. Actually a great cd.

[@MrBcaubenoidoi]

Thật tuyệt vời! 👍 👍 👍 🙏🙏🙏

[@viveksidar8255]

thanks man.

[@palaksinghal1422]

How much space did you leave between two holes

[@9soccerplayr]

where do the ends go?

[@aleksandrrein8379]

Cool

[@MichaelRath]

How do you calculate how many feet of cane you will need to purchase?

[@Shogomockid]

When I was a LOT younger, my best friends father worked at CHESTNUT CANOE CO, and at night he would bring home seat blanks,and for every seat that we weaved we got twenty five cents per seat. I can’t ever remember me actually making any money doing this, but I know my friends made enough money that they never had to pick for bottles, that was wayyyy back when.

[@diah_noeracraft]

Setelah direndam apakah langsung dipakai?

[@tannerjabezgarrett545]

Hey Adam, I'm approaching this step. For you seats did you do 3 coats of epoxy then 4 coats of varnish and then caned them? Or did you just epoxy?

[@AGuyDoingStuffAdam]

Tanner Jabez Garrett good question - I did epoxy, then varnish, then I caned. I don’t know if that’s how everybody does it but that’s how I thought I could make the longest lasting seat...

[@tannerjabezgarrett545]

A Guy Doing Stuff thanks for the quick response! Makes sense to me.

[@dhirendrasao6263]

Good

[@dhirendrasao6263]

I will try
