Wow! As a woodworker I have made many things. A customer asked if I could re-cane a seat from a wooden wheel chair. I said I don't know anything about it but I'm willing to try it. This is probably the most helpful video I have ever viewed. Many thanks for posting it.

I watched your detailed video a week ago, then again today as I took notes! It gave me the confidence to begin the process of removing and replacing the cane webbed seat in my Bentwood Rocker. So far, I've removed the old pre-woven cane seat, and after much elbow work and using the tools you recommended, the groove is cleaned out as well! Off to purchase new webbing and spline tomorrow! Thanks so much for your clear directions and the tips on solving anticipated difficulties that could come up!

Using the chisel to cut the web to size is the move! I was using a razor, shears, even tried an oscillator with a smooth blade as a shortcut around some very tricky turns. Thank you for this! I wasn't even thinking to use the best tool on hand.

Great instructions, but my chairs don’t have a groove. They are hand caned and woven through holes around the seat. There is no groove and two need repair

Thank you for such a great video! You DO make it look easy, I feel like I can do this now with my two chairs that need it badly. I have always wanted to be able to do my own, I've had chairs done for me before, but doing things myself is really my thing. Thank you so much.

I bought the replacement package from Peerless Rattan, watched the video, and successfully recaned our chair with my 13-year old son. Easy. The only issue was my own fault. We recaned the chair in the hot sun, so the webbing started to dry faster that I expected. To compensate, we rushed the job. But it was still a success (maybe an A- instead of a full A). Chair looks really nice and we had a great time. My only advise: Recane in the shade. Note: I had already cleaned out the old cane from the grooves, which is fairly time consuming to get right -- or close to right.

Wow! I have been refinishing antiques for over 20 years (stripping/staining)! Always avoided repairing cane chairs. A friend gave me two chairs in which the cane needed repairing. After stripping the chairs I avoided having the cane repaired. I was going to put them in our yard sale next week. However, after seeing this video...I'm going to keep them and try replacing the cane myself! Thank you!

Loved your video. I actually have the same Pulaski chair that you used in your video to recane. Mine had suffered a botched job previously and I did the best to fix the damage. It looks so much better! Time will tell if it holds as I had to use a smaller spline (I believe) because I could not get the larger spline in completely. Many thanks for helping us DIY'ers save our old pieces.!

Thank you for posting this video. I had purchased an older bentwood rocker for my 18 yr old daughter's first apartment and when we delivered it to her apartment and someone sat in it the whole seat tore. After quite a bit of research I found a webbing kit that would replace the old seat and when it came I was raring to go. But the written instructions were very short and definitely not clear. I googled "how to replace cane webbing" and came across your video. The seat is now repaired - not completely perfect like yours - but I'm very pleased with my first effort!

I finally plucked up courage to re-cane my old family rocking chair, which has become a theatre prop which I needed for my production of Little Women the musical. Previous use by others at the theatre had led to a large hole in the cane, which they had "fixed" by screwing a wooden plate under the seat. Not a pretty sight. I was able to follow your instructions which I transcribed and printed, and the installation was very easy thanks to your advice. Clearing away the old parts was both easier and harder than I had expected. A) I could not get a spline chisel here in New Zealand, and was greeted with a puzzled look in the major hardware shops I tried. I ended up with a 6m chisel (the smallest there was) and a narrow screwdriver. B) The easy part was that there was no glue, so once I freed an end, it should have been plain sailing. Unfortunately, instead of glue, the maker had used tacks, and as the chair is at least 73 years old - I was nursed in it and it was probably 20 years old back then, making it about 100yrs old now - the tacks were fairly "friable". Needle nosed pliers and some swearing sorted that out, and I now have a well fitting seat thanks to you. I used some brown furniture wax to stain it. Once again thank you for your advice from 10 years ago :)👏

Let your hubby speak for himself, or do a project yourself. Too many women know nothing about DIY projects and good ole hubby is the only one fixing things around the house, while wifey comments on them. And stop telling folks to charge money. Pay them if you think they deserve it. Its really nice to see some videos without drowning in ads! Something you would appreciate if you starting DOING more and COMMENTING less.
