Table Loom Stand About Ready to Test

Bob is just about finished with the small table loom stand with treadles.  Tomorrow, I will wind a scarf warp to test it and see if we need to make any adjustments.  A nice chenille scarf sounds nice, since it is still so wintry up here.

I'm tying up the treadles with tex-solve cord but need about 2 more yards of it.   I will have to make do with some heavy linen cord for three of the tie-ups until I can get some more cord.

I'm pretty sure there will be some adjustments needed because the left couple treadles are a lot harder to raise than the others.

All in all, for not having any measurements to go by, I think it is turning out pretty well. 

Once the testing is done and adjusted, I will stain the stand to match the loom and then get some varnish on it.

It cost us about $50 to purchase the maple wood and some hardware and the cord, and now I will have another six treadle, four harness floor loom that will be portable enough to take to workshops.  It's just in time for taking to the linen workshop on March 10-12th.
