50 years ago I took a carpentry class at a community collage. I found a pattern for a ladder back chair. I purchased rough hard maple boards at a local lumber yard. Took the wood to class, cut, turned, sanded, stained and varnished the finished chair. I was never able to properly weave the seat. Finally with the help of Ed's video I finally finished my chair. Thanks Ed for your help. Ken

I get asked all the time and always turn down the work as I don't know where to start but actually, having watched your videos, I now have the confidence to go for it. Thanks, Sophie (Culm Valley Chair Caning)

I did my first rush craft brown 6/32 weave using this video as the bible. It came out all right with a few mistakes due to my inexperience. My second chair was terrific because I paid more attention to the tension, overlapping, and alignment. Before starting the 2nd chair I placed a length of masking tape along the front and rear rails. After marking the front length to equal the rear length, I marked one inch lines on both pieces of tape. This helped me to correct any misalignment that I experienced on my first chair. It made a tremendous difference. The 3rd chair was even better than the 2nd. Thanks for a great video.

Marvellously demonstrated, I’m deaf and just by watching I could understand how it’s done and why. I suspected the cord at the end was wet from water but looked into the comments below to confirm. Thank you for this instructional video! Edit : since so many are commenting about the CC, yes I am familiar with the CC, I am deaf so that is a given..! My comment was made three years ago and the auto-generated CC at this time very likely, as I remember it was awful in the beginning of the technology, weren't accurate so I couldn't rely on these back then. It's an ever-evolving technology and accuracy keeps improving although flaws are still present today. Currently, at some point it captioned mill instead of middle, for example. Thank you for not further stating the obvious.

Your video has so many really good pointers and cautions that I had to watch it several times to learn them all. I choose to rotate the chair as I weave just because it gives me a better view of the rush and I avoid overlapping on the underside and the rear. Thanks again.

The frame survived, but the poor thing has hung on wall-pegs and garage walls since then waiting for someone to revive it.

I thought we needed to have the seat redone, but the only problem was a bit of sloppy work that needed to be tidied up. It helps tremendously when you know what goes into weaving a rush seat. A few loose strands are now tacked under the weave into the frame where they belong. Thanks so very much for sharing your techniques!

I want to thank you for the instruction. It was VERY helpful. Tension is everything. I wish I could attach a photo of the chair I reseated using your video. I found the chair on the roadside in Castleton, VT over a decade ago. The seat was very old and battered woven wicker. But the structure and integrity of the chair was excellent. It had been painted a hideous avocado green at one time (probably in the 70's) and then stripped. The wood is solid oak. I reseated it using hemp twine, which ended up requiring about 300+ feet. I messed up the tension when I had to splice another ball of twine that ended up being a slightly smaller gauge (and I didn't have any of those nice hand clamps) and then overlapped a strand, but went back to the gauge I started with. I just finished it about 10 minutes ago. So, now I have a shabby chic chair for the back porch we can sit on and watch the birds. I should last a few years at least before I have to reseat it again.

I once did 10 Danish cord chairs in a week. That was lots of fun. Nothing like 10 chairs to break you in. I don't normally do the RUSH chairs so I haven't had a chance to learn this at work. I wanted to learn how though and watched your video a couple times. I think my seat turned out pretty good. Glad to see the knots peeking through on the bottom of your chair. LOL. That's how mine turned out. Your videos are some of the best. Wish I could find one on the spacing on the "L" nails on Danish Cord chairs. I am working on a project from scratch and would rather not waste a bunch of time and effort and cord doing trial and error. GREAT JOB!

Thank you! Excellent video. I just bought an old ladder back yesterday and am looking forward to redoing the rush seat. And I need to look for the product. I love working with my hands.

Thank you for the video, it is the first time that I have woven a rush chair and I am really pleased with the results even if nothing as straight as yours. Your video was so easy to follow and full of hints and tips which made following easy.

Excellent job! It's good to watch someone who really knows what he's doing, and can explain so clearly.

My wife just got an old rocking chair that her grandfather owned probably 60 or 70 years ago, possibly even longer than that. It had some sort of woven seat that has fallen apart. I am planning on replacing the seat with this method, so I found this video at almost exactly the right time. AWESOME!!!

2019 and your video is so amazing. I didnt know it took so much artistic work to finish a chair's seat.

Thank you so much for making such a “detailed how to” video. I’m now 37 but when I was around 7 my parents bought a kitchen table a chairs that I inherited and I’ve been wanting to learn how to do this and how to refinish the table. I’m so glad I came across your video. Thank you sir!

This is great information just what I needed! Thank you ! I have a rocker with a broken rung, and had to “Undo” the rush to repair the wood, hoping to remember how reinstall, you answered all my questions! Again very good video, thanks!

You are an artist, and a scholar, sir. Top shelf instructional work, not a word too many, nor too few. Perfect audio and video. I can’t believe that you made me look forward to this task. ;)

First of all, thanks for such a thorough tutorial on weaving a rush seat. I have a very similar ladder back side chair I picked up for free. The neighbor was throwing it out because the rush was badly broken. I'd hate to see such a beautiful old chair in the dump. Now I feel confident I can restore it and give it a second life.
