My latest project

Post by littlejohnnc »

My Sister in/law wanted a Box Loom or a tape loom built . Man this little project was a good work out for the SS . Made from 4/4 cypress planned down to 1/2 inch, few pieces of walnut for the cog locks. Lots of band saw fun on this project...:D

Really cool project, Little John!:D Not only a real good piece of woodworking, but a project made for a skill that many of us have forgotten.

Very Nice Work!

This may help to explain the workings of the box.

That is the smallest loom I've ever seen. (My wife's 'little' loom is a 4 harness, 40"). Nice work. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing your project and the link with the information about how it is used. Not only did you do a great job on the loom but you also are bringing back a tool that you showed can be made for doing what our past generations did. Great job!!
