The Original Chairman & Chairboy

The Origanl Chairman & chairboy
Originally uploaded by chairguy.

Welcome !

This is the beginning or the end, depending on if I keep up with my plan.

Ah yes the plan.. What could I guy with a name like the "The Chairman" have to say or write about..

Lots baby lots.

I can ramble, bitch & moan with the best.. I have all the bridge burning, hand grenade throwing stories that a 37 year old can expect to have.. Yeah yeah yeah

Come on that's not really why I am here. Much like the picture on the right this is the beginning of a new chapter for me. Yep, That's me & the original Chairman (my old man) back in the early 80's . Back then I was the chairboy the reluctant helper, hating every time my father yelled come on your going me. That always meant I would be doing so form of labor ,whether it was packing boxes or loading a truck with the contents of a house we had just bought.

Don't get me wrong i loved it ! From an early age I learned how to haggle & do the antique dealer shuffle.. Buy cheap & sell high.. Like my father always said "you gotta hustle kid" or "Double your money or don't bother". My favorite was "I am always thinking" (he'd tap his head) were the next buck was coming from".

Oh wait ,yeah, so the plan, my angle, my reason for this blog.( i get side tracked easily) Aside from driving readers crazy with my poor spelling, grammar & punctuation I am just here to help !

I am looking to blog about the work i do, show folks its pretty easy to restore a piece of furniture or do a simple repair to a chair. So if I stick with my plan I should have weekly updates of pieces I am working on as well as some pictures. I will also be happy to answer any one's questions about Antique & furniture repair/restoration. So if you have any question please let me know..

No worries I will be sure to post random & wacky stories about my customers. Like the time one told me she knew the differences in colors (jersey accent), because she was a hair colorist ! I may also brag about the chair you tossed out on the curb, that made me a quick 200 bucks.. see not much to blog about..
