Thanks and welcome

[@kittywilhite9583]

Thanks! I see that you answer questions so I here's a good one: The frame of the rocker seat I am doing is not flat. The sides are curved from front to back with the lowest point being almost an inch below my first step of back to front cane. Do I need to remove this first step and start over and leave some slack to accommodate the dip in the seat frame sides? Thank you, sir! Great video!!

[@donaldporta]

run the vertical cane first, which should form the curve, then the horizontal should conform to that!

Very nice. Thanks

[@susanpayton9490]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial, just what a beginner needs to understand. Best wishes from Scotland

[@ElisabethThurley]

Can I start the caning and finish one direction on the whole seat and then leave it and come back another day or has it all got to be done at the same time ?

[@sambeavers9428]

As I am getting ready to tie the knots on the bottom of the chair how do I rewet the Cain?

[@donaldporta]

wrap it with a wet cloth and let it soak that way,

[@louiegeorgemichael]

What a coincidence, I just ordered some strand cane today to start learning, this video will be very helpful. I hope to not bother but I sent you a message on Fb to ask some questions ( I didn't know how to do it on youtube.) Hope you see it. Thank you

[@sueboo5830]

Thanks! This was really helpful.

[@donaldporta]

Glad to hear it!

Hello! Congratulation for your work and amazing video. I followed your video to wave my own chair but I had a problem because some strip were broken while waving. Where I live is such a hot an dry area that less than a minute after take the strips out the water they gget broken. Would you mind give me some tips to fix this situation? Thanks.

[@donaldporta]

I keep a wet towel and lay that on the cane

[@kergar6689]

@@donaldporta Thanks, I´ll do it.

[@NilanthiSureka-u3w]

Thank you

[@ToppinThat]

Thank you for the great tutorial! Would you have any tips for repairing a hole in a cane back sofa that is over 100 years old? I am hoping I can just add cane to what is already there. Have you ever done anything like that or know if it is possible? I am not sure how I would tie off the cane that I add.

[@donaldporta]

you can just add the cane to replace the broken ones, the splice will have to be in a spot that is not seen --- such as the underside or in the hole where the cane comes out.

[@paisleyfamily5972]

Where do you buy the caning and the wooden plugs?

[@donaldporta]

there is a link with the description of the video

[@GarySmythe]

Did you soak the binder cane in water like you soaked the other strands? I need to bend the binder cane around a curved corner and concerned about the cane cracking and wondering what you did with your chair in the video.

[@donaldporta]

Yes I soaked the binder cane.

[@GarySmythe]

The cane looks like it's not an even color. Is it a bad batch of cane?

[@dhirendrasao6263]

Good
