Seatweaving & Chair Caning Forum™

Hi Jan...

Here are a couple of links to my frame holder. I realize this does not help you but it can give you some ideas. I do a weaving on this lazy susan with the center part being interchangeable with an eye hook and board to hold down whole chairs. I even have a lift that raises the chairs on the l s and a wedge that tilts cane seats towards me. I work sitting on the couch and the l s with all it's adaptations save my back and legs.

Everyday I think of a new mechanism to add to the l s to make it even more efficient :-)

    Hi everyone, I'm new to caning. In order to practice knotless, and X's and fish heads I'm going to drill holes in a simple rectangular pic frame. I just realized that I'll run out hands to hold the... more

        I pushed rubber cane tips onto the end of my clamps to prevent scratching and sliding.

    I use four c-clamps attached to each corner to serve as legs(albeit short ones.) If the corners are finished pieces with no rush, I pad them to keep from damaging the wood. If the corners are filled... more

      Rhonda, Go back to the Search box and type in "Rush Seats" without the quotes and a page full of posts will come up. Use the capital letters, but remove the quotes. Should work, it did for me! Cathryn
