Charlie giving an idea of the space the loom takes.
The loom itself is 42" x 68" x 40" high.
This pic shows the bolts that hold the thing together
There are holes in the bottoms of the beams where the nuts go so you can bolt it together.
On the right is the cloth roller and on the left is the warp roller. You first attach the warp to the warp roller and while maintaining an even tension you wind it up. When you have the warp to the point where the other end just reaches the front beam you thread the warp through the eyes of the heddles and through the reed (on the beater bar) and tie it off to the cloth roller. Make sure to get a nice even tension. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing the process.
Here you see the reed in the beater bar.
This is a nice blurry view of the heddles.
Here is the handle on the warp roller. Once you have the warp wrapped on you don't use this handle.
This pic shows the brake (which wraps around the big metal wheel on this end of the warp roller) engaged with the foot brake spring and lever.
There is the brake.
Here are the connecting rods from the treadle to the heddles. I had to fabricate 3 more connectors for you today.


This view shows the brake pedal. When you assemble the cross beams make sure the brake is beneath the front lower (treadle) beam.
This is the cloth take-up ratchet assembly. When you put the warp roller and cloth roller in make sure you have the ratchet on the right way.
The other end of the cloth roller.
The heddles in the castle. They are marked so you put them in the right order.When you go to assemble this you can of course let us know and we can make plans to come down and help. The tricky part is to get the 2 lower beams in place along with the 2 rollers, the brake pedal and the take-up ratchet before tightening the bolts.
