Does anyone know if caning chair seats is difficult to teach one's self to do? We have 10 that were inherited, very nice, sturdy (Pennsylvania Dutch/Shaker design) chairs that I've now put my butt through 3 of. It gets pricey to have them done and it doesn't look that difficult for the most part, but the do it yourself videos and how-to's don't go into every detail, mostly like finishing it off in the end which looks complicated. Doesn't seem to be any mentors in the NJ area to teach someone to do it, just a couple guys that will take your $200+ and call you when it's done.
