Its 2 am and I'm watching you weave this frame. I have a set a bar stools were the rush has perished. I have cut the old rush off and unscrewed the frame from the stool , so now I have the loose frame without the corners as shown in this video. I have never weaved before but this tutorial gives me the confidence to attempt my own weave. Its very difficult to find danish cord or paper rush in Australia and its very expensive to buy online, so I'm going to try complete my project using beige paracord instead. Thanks for your very easy to follow and understand series of videos.

I just redid my kitchen chair, using jute rope/string, 6mm thick. The first time I did it, I followed your video, but over 6 years, it sagged badly. This time, I did only one loop at a time, pulling with all my strength and clamping every corner to get it properly tight. My 45 degree angles aren't perfectly straight, but it is good and tight now, let's see how it fares under some of the rather larger people that use that chair now! I also re used the original jute, and had a good 15 inches left over, so either it stretched or I got a little more tension into the seat this time. A good 50 bucks spent, compared to what I would imagine a professional would have asked...

I do wonder what was used as a structural filler before cardboard was invented... The current "rush" material is now twisted paper. Were actual rushes twisted together or was twisted straw also used?

Hello Mr. Hammond. I have a beautiful 2nd hand store chair in need of a new rush seat without corners. It was originally sea grass. I haven't been able to locate a resourch with responsibly harvested grass. Would you know of one or shall i try another material? I live in a very dry climate. Also curious if an oil might be used to extend the life of the seat. I appreciate your instructional video. Thank you!

Fabulous instructions, I am based in the UK otherwise I would definately buy supplies from you. I cannot beleive how well my first attempt was using 5 mm seagrass and folliwng your instructions, but I think maybe the seagrass was too thick. I will try 3.5 mm sized seagrass on the next chair and then try some natural rush so I can compare results.

@edhammond24973 жыл бұрын
The T50 staples are quite a bit wider and difficult to attach to round rails. You could try it. I found the T25 cable staples are a perfect fit, but you also need the T25 stapler to use them. I use the 3/8" T25 staples.

I have a rocker from Cracker Barrel that my cats have clawed the paper rushould to pieces. I’ve rewoven the seat by following video instruction. However, I cannot find any information on how to weave the back. I want it to look like the original but canot find a single instruction article. The back has square corners but don't undrstand how to get started or how the weave starts on the outside edge of three vertical posts. Can you help me?

I would remove the armrest handle, then weave the seat and then replace the armrest handle. You may have to wrap the outer edge of the hole to fill in.

@edhammond24978 жыл бұрын
+abdullghoriO1 If the rush is going to go over the edges of the frame, then it seems like you will need to allow room for that, so that the frame will then fit in the opening.

Where do you purchase your rush from? Yours does not seem to have any problems with unraveling as mine can do
@peerlessrattansuppliesllc71135 жыл бұрын
I have discovered that people who have trouble with it unraveling are actually causing it by the way they are handling the rush and weaving. Try turning your spool upside down and take the rush off from the other side, try using smaller coils as you weave. Try not to let it unravel while putting it around the rungs. We sell rush on our website peerlessrattan.com
