That is really cool looking. It would be neat to see some WIP (weave in progress) pics once you get to that point.

just putting the headles in now, to be honest i dont know what kind they are, they are some that wwere with my granmothers loom. they apear to be stainles steel with holes punched in if that helps identify them.

it is built just like my grandmothers witch was a two treadel loom used just fo rag rugs. if my wife actuly uses this thing i will poblay make another with more treadles, i'm thinking string on the next one for a bit more of the ole timey look.

Thats really cool Mark! You like building replicas of antiques don't you? Like the camera! Hope to make my shop more functional, so I can produce bigger things.
