Handmade Rigid Heddle Loom

This one took me FOREVER to figure out how to make.  I looked at what seems like one thousand ridged heddle looms to decided how to make this little guy.  The hard part, well that would be the heddle and heddle stand.  I must and I mean I must find an easier solution for these.  The gears were actually fun to make and I'm pleased with them.
Well without further blabbering here she is, of course I still need to route all the edges to make her look presentable but I couldn't contain myself one moment longer to take pictures and get this post up.  Yes that is how excited I am about this little loom.


And here she is finished...







These are as I was working the design out and still working on a more professional heddle!

      No, I do not have plans...but what I suggest it put the frame together without the dowels and the frame supports. Then make your measurements. Be sure to include room on the dowels for your ratchets and knobs/handles.

    Sensacional. Tenho experimentado fazer tear de pente rígido. Terminei um tear de padronagem de 4 quadros de 40cm. Mas não tenho muita técnica nem equipamento para trabalhar a madeira perfeitamente, mas espero melhorar. Gostei dos seus acessórios. Parabéns
