My father was a good one for " if someone else can do it" so can I...
And he did even into his 90s, caning chairs was one of his winter time projects,,, you can do it,,, if u screw it up, undo it and start over,,,, LOL
OK, well, thanks, I guess two replies was all I needed. I'll be near a Woodcrafters this weekend, I have space in my basement and I could use a winter project, and, my grandfather as well, late in his 80's also did this (he probably offered to teach me, but a late teens/early 20's stubborn know it all a$$hole me would never have gone for it. Truly my loss!).
Thanks you two.
