Wonderful videos. I’m about to rerush my parents 1970s Magistretti chairs. Great instructions and very clearly explained. Hoping I can adapt the techniques for our chairs. Thank you for being so generous with your time and expertise.

[@highanddryful]

Ed you are my idle, your clear and consive tutorial is proof of a true professional. You demonstrate each weave clearly and slowly allowing others like myself to understand and follow each move with ease. Thank you, you mean so much to me and I can't praise you enough for sharing your skills with us all.

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

Wow, thank you! Appreciate the comment!

[@samowens5329]

There are many rush videos and many bad ones. Yours is quite good. I had to learn the corners that you did in this video and without the video I would not have got it done. Good job and Thanks for your time

[@noraderenze7404]

Thank you for such an informative video. I have 6 ladderback chairs that were my family's dining room chairs when I was growing up. They desperately need re-rushing, but are so costly to repair. Your patience and clear directions have inspired me! I'll let you know how I make out. Thank you!

[@highanddryful]

Absolutely outstanding tutorial. You are truly a master and I am so grateful to you for sharing your skills and tricks with your audience, thank you Sir.

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

Thank you for this kind reply

This is the most similar to the seats that I have, Ed. Thanks for the videos of all the different types of wraps. One thing I have learned by watching your videos - other than all the basic techniques - is that there are MANY different types of weaves. It would seem that it has to do with the person that is doing the wrapping more than anything and as long as a person isn't concerned with accurately reproducing the same weave say, if it was for an antique, there really isn't a "wrong" way to do the weaving.

Thank you, we need to fix our chair and it is in this exact style! Much appreciated! 👍

Again, Ed, thank you! The video is entertaining, informative and inspiring.

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

+Charles Carlson Again, thanks for the encouraging comments!

[@wmialil]

Gives me confidence to start on a difficult Magistretti drop in frame. Wish me luck!

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

Good luck! You can do it!

[@eithnecarey9765]

I’d love to know how did you get on? I’m about to start on a set of 8 Magistretti chairs.

[@h15a0246]

Excellent video it help me a lot. do you have any idea how to make it with round iron Chair. ( its all most the same just without tow corners)

[@marg233]

Excellent tutorial video, u makit look so easy & inspiring 👍🏻👏

[@patwoolf4175]

Using natural rush, soaking seem to make it unravel and also finding it difficult holding coil together when passing through chair. Any tips?

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

Don't soak it. Just a quick dip in the water. TIP: Tape the end to the first loop with masking tape to keep it from tangling up while weaving. Remove the tape when you get to it.

Ed and Cindy, your tutorial was easy to follow and perfectly filmed to show the details to beautiful canning seats. I am inspired. I am at your web page for Fibre rushes but I am unsure what diameter to buy. For this seat, did you use 6/32

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

Yes, this seat was done in 6/32. For beginners, 5/32 can be a tad easier to work with and is not much smaller than the 6/32... you can also contact us at [e-mail]

[@pashupatibhattarai1779]

Brilient idea. 👌👌👌❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@davidstolzberg6296]

This is great. Thank you. Do you have a video or other suggestion to explain the filler ins or strands you refer to at around 11:50? When I measure I come out with about 12" for square and 10.5" for curved portions. Thank you again!

[@janineputzer5664]

Fiber rush has been so much easier to work with than the natural. I am on my second chair and looks better.

[@sergiobiffi]

Hi i'm Sergio from Italy. Great video, thank you so much; i learned how to weave a seat and now i can weave standard seats, but now i have a problem. I have a frame similar to your, but with square corners instead of round corner. Can you explain how to cover this square corners. Thank you!!!

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

+Sergio Biffi We are working on more videos, I always suggest that your reverse engineer it... take it apart carefully and take many photos of it as you go, so you can refer to them when you start weaving.

[@beh4846]

Excellent video, thanks!

[@bobmccann594]

As always a great video!Many Thanks!!

[@vicenteserrano7100]

Tendria la amabilidad ,aparte de que es un maestro y un srtista de informarnos de donde consigue la cuerda ,enea o como se llame con la cual teje las sillas gracias

[@sybilheine8912]

Good morning Ed. I just found your video on how to weave a rush frame. Now I just need to locate some rush. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also, I don't want that greenish color that you get with seaweed rush. Mine is more of a yellow straw color. Is the color of fiber rush similar to the natural? I understand from one of the comments that it is easier to work with.

[@edhammond2497]

We sell fibre rush at peerlessrattan.com it is kraft brown in color.

[@janineputzer5664]

But...now that I am done, I like the looks of the natural better.....Hmmm.....guess Ill try the natural again. Hopefully my OCD wont kick in because I have four chairs that will be all different !

[@AREA-sj4ec]

i have watched some of your videos and i noticed you might unwrap a little bit to fit. do you ever need to wrap tighter maybe to fit a hole. how do you decide.

[@edhammond2497]

+Jonathan Naylor Yes, sometimes I twist the rush tighter to make it fit better. I also use the hammer and wedge to force strands apart or push them closer together, as needed.

[@sharonsnow8422]

You really helped me 😊 what do you use frames for?

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

They are part of a chair, the seat is on a frame and is removed from the chair for weaving.

[@olelauridsen666]

Put u cam om a tripod. Im gettomg seasick

[@sharonsnow8422]

Thank you so much

[@peerlessrattansuppliesllc7113]

I'm glad the video helped you.

[@madeleinebowers1909]

[@edhammond2497]
