Recreating the past, an early 19th century treadle loom.

I seen one of these years ago and have always said I'd make one someday...well the last few weeks was that someday.  She's not complete yet and the next one will be slightly different (I had to learn as I went as there is no pattern!). 
I will finish her next weekend I hope (I never know my schedule or work load)  but for now here are some fun pictures. 



 And here is how it went :)

    You do wonderful work! Will you be making any more of your rigid heddle looms?

    This is very creative! What do you use to cut the eyes and slot on the reed? You have everything so precise. You do amazing work.
