Re: Tape Loom
Very cool. Looks useful to make fastening rope or such of any precise size you need.

I see the Bacardi. It probably helps take the chill off.

Re: Tape Loom
I see some fancy hatbands in your future.... that loom looks like a tricky thing to put together to get it weaving right.

Re: Tape Loom
Lenn, very nice, and way more traditional than the inkle loom I built. Great for making garters, powder horn straps, tumplines and other obscure sundries from long ago ...
Re: Tape Loom
that is really neat. i reckon you could also weave para cord. put the reflector one in a scarf for night riding. good night all y'all
Re: Tape Loom
Thanks gents, takes a little practice two people weaving is easier.
Head bands are a good idea but as usual i make things just to say i did it is more important than using it.

Re: Tape Loom--Treadle model added.
Lenn, I expect that fine treadle to be replaced by a steam engine next time I look at this post..
