My grandfather did the exact same pattern on a chair practically identical to yours 45 years ago and I've always wondered how he did it. Well now I know and much thanks to you and this video for the instruction. As for my grandpa's chair, I still have it along with his original handywork.
Thank you so much for your video tutorial. I wove my first flat reed seat today on an old ladderback that my grandfather hand made back in the '40s. Means so much to me. Will definitely weave more. Thanks again.
I just inherited an old caned chair that was done by my great grandfather at least 100 years ago. I was baffled at how I could fix it then I watched this video. The original was done with sweet gum I believe and over the years has been painted and left out in the weather. I feel confident I can repair this chair now! Thanks so much!
You have the best weaving tutorials on all of UA-cam thank you very much for sharing your legacy
I recently received reed from y'all and followed along with this vid for a child's chair. That "Congratulations; your project is done" sounded pretty good. I stuffed this seat with newspapers.
This was such a helpful video! I have 6 dining room chairs with splint seats desperately needing to be re-done. Took a chair to an amazing weaver who was going to charge me $300 - per chair! When I told her I just couldn't afford that, she mentioned your video...and I can see why. I'm ordering 5/8" reed...today! My summer project is confirmed. Thanks So much! Informative, clear video and audio.
I just used your video to re-weave the seat in a chair. Your video was very clear to follow. Thank you for posting it.
Wow! Thanks so much for showing this lost art. I have a child's Shaker rocking chair and think I can do this thanks to hoe detailed your video is!
You are so welcome! You've got this!
Excellent! Thanks so much for this tutorial, I currently have a few shaker chairs in the works and I have been wanting to apply the flat reed to the seating and backs, great video!
Thanks Ed - my chair turned out great! I really appreciate the step by step instructions.
Thanks for that. Very clear, no waffle and more importantly no music! Excellent job!
Nicely done. All the way around: Clear, concise directions and filming, and excellent finished product. Thanks for sharing.
Geez, your instructions are clear and concise, love your instruction style. You make it look easy but I know it takes years of practice to achieve that level of ease. ! have suscribed to your channel and hope to do a project or two following your expert advise. Thank you for your instructive video!
Sure wish I'd watched this video before starting out with instructions from a book yesterday! I worked for hours taking things apart every time I screwed up (which was often). I finally went to bed at 3:30 AM! I just watched this fabulous video and in a few minutes got all the answers to all the situations the book did not address! Thank you so much...from the bottom of my heart!
You are very welcome, I'm glad you got your project done!
This is one of the best "How Too" video's I have seen. I have always wanted to do this and with this video I feel like I may be able to give it a try.
This is a well made video. I used to weave chair bottoms all the time but it has been many years since I did my last chair bottom. This was a wonderful refresher course. I will be weaving a stool and can't wait to get started now :)
I'm glad you liked the video. I'm also glad to hear that you are getting back into weaving!
Thank you for the informative video. This gave me the confidence to order the Ash splint and replace the seat on my father's baby chair (85 years old). With a new paint job and new seat, this chair is now ready for my parent's great grand kids.
Thank you so much! My first chair is done, and no one can believe I did it! I have a new hobby.
May God the Creator of the univers bless you richly by sharing these good demonstration on youtube, and I have to thank your kindness of sharing these on line
This was such a well done video!! I was able to refurbish a 50 year old rocker for my granddaughter. Thank you.
THAT WAS EASY FOR YOU THANKS FOR SHOWING ME THE TRUE AMOUNT OF WORK INVOLVED LOVED YOUR VIDEO
Your instruction was better than trying to read the instructions that came with my kit. Thank you!
I don't even have a chair. I just love this video. It's oddly comforting after a long day.
:-)
I've watched the video at least 5 times.
What a great video, and very clear instructions, lovely job, thank you so much for sharing this!
One of the best videos I have ever watched! Thank you very much.
+Cynthia Brown Glad you liked it, Cynthia!
You're a very good teacher. And thanks to the camera man - things were very easy to see and follow.
Thank you so much for posting this, I recently bought these patio chairs and i didn't know how to restore the seat since it is made of metal. I really appreciate this ;0)
THANK YOU! for taking the mystery out of this process! I got a rocker at a local antique/junk shop for $35 and the seat will need to be replaced soon. I have a feeling that the person who put the last seat on did not leave the smooth sides of the reed on the outside! I now have the confidence that I can do this myself. Thank you again!
That's always fun to get deal at the antique/junk store!

Been so nervous to redo a rocker, watching your video has helped calm me. Thank you so much
+Amy Sharpe I'm glad you are willing to attempt it!
Thanks a bunch for your very clear and informative instruction. I learned how to weave with fiber rush from you and finished a rocker, a stool, and three chairs. Now I think I will try flat reed. Once friends discovered I could weave with rush the phone is ringing. I even got stopped in the supermarket. So I trade weaving a seat for the cost of materials and dinner out for my wife and I.
That is a typical story, once people find out you can weave seats, the work starts showing up!
Hi! Thanks for the awesome video. At 9:20 you weave under 2 instead of under 3 as you had in the previous row, but you dont mention anything about it. I feel like Im missing something, and I dont want to make a mistake
Thank you for your great instructions-my chair turned out beautifully.
Nice clear instructions. Thank you for your time. I have now completed 3 chair bottoms with flat reed and 3 with tshirt string.
I would love to see them, can you email us some photos?
Hi, Ed! I am one of your satisfied customers! Several years ago, I purchased the flat split reed for two old rockers that frankly looked ready for a tt
Hi Mary, I'm glad your seats turned out well!
Wow, a video that is thorough and simplistic at the same time. Bravo.
Question #1: Noise? I grew up with chairs woven with "rush", so know the slight "adjustment" squeak the pattern makes when you sit down. Does this reed emit a rubbing sound, too?
Question #2: Padding? I see in the comments where someone added newspaper padding. And I have seen where rush is packed with cardboard scraps. Is filler unnecessary or recommended as an added step?
Question #3: Finish? Does reed take stain? Is a sealer/varnish/shellac/oil rub recommended to prevent damage/discoloration?
I will trust the YT algorithm to serve me up more of your videos, but I put these questions here if you care to jumpstart my research.
I had been studying Shaker tape, but this video has promoted reed to the frontrunner spot FWIW. thanks
I just adore the authentic look of this, and I'm so pleased it can be done in less than half an hour (by an expert at least! lol)
thanks for your time in showing me how to do this I appreciate it
Very nice job. Congratulations from Canary- Islands/ Spain.
Wow, you're a great teacher. Thanks for this.
Thanks so much for sharing. Found a chair and going to sand it stain it then rewicker the seat your video will come in very handy.
This is fantastic. Thank you for the video, it was really helpful.
Followed your video Ed. Worked perfectly! Thanks.
Thanks for the clear instructions. I have 2 old porch rockers that need reweaving and I will use your video as my reference.
How did they turn out?
A true craftsman!! Thanks for sharing!!
Normally a one pound coil of reed will do a small to medium seat. If your seat is larger you will need a little more than one coil. The number of feet in a coil varies depending on the width of the reed. I like to use 5/8" reed and there's 120 feet in a one pound coil.
Hi grate job. I'm getting ready to do a chair just like this I saved from the side of the road waiting to go to the trash. I was wondering what would you sale a chair like that for?
Very nice! I am going to try this on a canvas with an abstract painting. Love the vid and thank you very much! :-)!!
Thank you, you provided great instructions :)
Just exactly what I needed, and very well done as well. Thanks, Ed!
You should enjoy the process, it's very fun!
Thank you so much. Very interesting. I am going to try that with cloth strips. Hope it works.
I really appreciate your help.
Thank you so much for guiding.. It helps me alot in my weaving assignment 😍♥
GENIAL HERMOSO GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR TUS CONOCIMIENTOS BENDICIONES
really , you are very great man , thank you for your rfforts
Awesome video. Will try on a toddler rocking chair (67 Yrs Old) I am restoring..... Really great video.
Hi, I'm redoing my toddler rocking chair my grandfather gave me when I was two years old. I'm so happy my parents saved my chair. This will be for my granddaughters 2nd bday. This video is amazing. Thank you.
Very good instructional video.
Thank for teaching us!
Great video, thank you!
Wow. You make it look EZ. Thank you for the help. Very informative.
You bet!
great tutorial, Thank You! What type of weave pattern would make for the most comfort for a sleeping cot?
Very informative. Thank you!!
Wow I love that. Easier than I imagined
Thanks so much for this video. I plan to recane a chair using 1/4" flat reed. Can I still staple the bottom pieces to join the reed together or should I use some other method? Thanks!
Thank you - gives me hope...
Just did a stool using your helpful tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks for jumping right into the subject! Beautifully done...all of the old woven seat chairs I have are stuffed with everything from newspapers to pine needles, corn shucks and straw. Not sure if it's for comfort or wears longer or ?
You did an amazing job and watching you was easy but it’s not an easy thing to do but I’m doing it thanks again
You’re welcome 😊
Seems simple enough, thanks!
awesome, bravo
Thank you so much this was an excellent video !!!
You are so welcome!
This video makes me think I can probably do this myself even though I am the most uncrafty person ever. I will not be doing the seat, however, I will doing the back of a rocking chair. Any tips on that? Thanks for the great lesson.
thank you very much sir for the video
Thank you. Very interesting and informative. Can you tell me how many feet of reed you used for the chair?
Eh primoroso seus trabalhos , parabéns!
Deise Galvao Gracias por sus amables palabras!
Thanks for a very informative video. I was just wondering if you could post a close up picture of that wooden wedge? It’s a bit hard to see it in the video.
Ed Hammond great is beauty a art ,
Thank you sir
Getting ready to do a chair with 1/4" but the side rails are different height. anything I should knw
Is there any kind of wax or stain type product that should be applied after the seat is woven?
Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful. When doing a very old chair what can I use to give the seat an aged look?
Flat reed can be easily dyed or stained, or you could weave with smoked flat reed, it is a much darker color. I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Thank you 👍
You are welcome.
Gracias
So creative
Awesome!
nice job!
VEERY NICE, WOUNDERFUL. MUITO BOM, MARAVILHOSO.
Thank you for your encouraging comment!
I've got an old splint chair that I'd decided to do a shaker tape job on. That said, I love the old splint wood look and would love to do a few chairs like that. Do have a question. This chair is filled on the inside void with what seems to be peat moss and shavings. I don't think I'd seen any done like this before and see that you do not. Was this common? If it's anything like padding rush with cardboard, it would help prevent strain damage from use. Or at least that's my thought.
Scott Hildenbrand I've seen that done, some people will use foam padding. We choose to not use anything as all the old chairs we've taken apart did not have any padding in them. It's probably up to your personal preference. You should be fine either way.
I do caning but have never done one of these before. Just wondering how you charge for one of these seats. I have one to do in the next couple of weeks...
You are amazing
How are your video's filmed?
The camera views are pretty good, you can really easily see what's going on.
It takes 2 people, one weaving and one holding the camera.
Terrific video. Do you have a method for determining how much material is needed per chair?
+Ken Lynch A small seat will take one of the 2 pound coils, most chairs need a little more than one coil. Glad you liked the video.
I wonder how much weight this chair can hold?
Can you stain flat reed? If so, what do you use to seal it with afterwards?
My friend is wanting to redo a seat like this, but it’s round and uses much thinner rattan. Do you have a video to explain that? Thank you
Thanks for you teach as thanks
que material se puede utilizar .cual EA el del vídeo. sirve una imitación plástica o sintética
Siri from where you buy this waving strips?
My chair seat is approx. 18"X16". How many pounds of coil would you suggest I order. Did you use 5/8 cane on this video?
Yes, I used 5/8" in the video. You will probably need a full coil and part of a 2nd coil.
started weaving in herringbone pattern with 5/8 , when got to front of chair, splint was too wide and couldn't fit it in neatly ...could i cut the splint to fit
Dennis Glass Yes, you can cut it to fit. But first I would take the wooden wedge or table knife and carefully push each strand tighter together, starting at the opposite side. This usually will result in you having enough room for the last strand to fit nicely.
ES UN BONITO GESTO Q, SE HACE ENSEÑAR A TODAS LAS PERSONAS D, TODAS LS, EDADES YA Q, MUCHAS NO TIENEN ACCESO A UN CENTRO D, CAPACITACIÓN, PARA Q, PUEDAN PARTICIPAR CON SUS IDEAS Y Q,LS SIRVA COMO INCENTIVO PARA UNA VIDA MEJOR,,,,,,,SALUDOS,,,,GRACIAS,,,,,
Sí, queremos enseñar a tantas personas como podamos para tejer asientos.
Very well done! How much flat material would I need to do an average seat?
2-4 pounds
