| Summary | "Seat Weaving" by L. Day Perry is a manual training guide focused on the art and craft of weaving seats using materials like cane, rush, and reed, written in the early 20th century. This instructional text provides detailed methodologies and illustrations aimed at enhancing practical skills in manual training shops, primarily for educators and students. The book emphasizes the importance of incorporating these weaving techniques into woodworking courses to diversify students’ skill sets and foster a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship. At the start of "Seat Weaving," the author discusses the shortcomings of conventional woodworking education, advocating for a holistic approach that includes various manual activities such as weaving to develop student engagement and skills. Perry outlines the materials required for caning, including cane types and relevant tools, and introduces the process of caning through a step-by-step method, referring to specific techniques and protective measures against common mistakes. The opening lays a foundation for understanding the significance of weaving in furniture design and education, ultimately aiming to inspire students to create functional and aesthetically pleasing pieces.
