Another Two Treadle Floor Tape Loom
It seems I've been working on this for 6 months. I had hoped to be done way before now but they are time consuming and because I'm busy filling orders everyday I just don't get a chance to work on these. This one is near done... I have final sanding and fitting to do as well as a finish and gluing up the warp and take up rods. The heddles will be made from Padauk to match the treadles and the ratchet, pawls and tenon peg. This one is made from hard maple.
I acquired some nice oak legs that I will be re-purposing for one in oak. It is so hot here that I can't work long in the garage, it's a scorcher this summer. But since my shop is closed till the 20th of August because of the heat I'm working in the mornings to try and make a few things I've been wanting to have in my shop so stay tuned for new items... This one is spoken for many times so I really need to get the other one made. It will just have to be first come basis. I think I'll do a FB Handywoman page post when it's ready to purchase so that people who follow me on FB will see it's ready to purchase :).
So here she is so far.

Carved Celtic Backstrap Heddles
I finally took the time to make these. I've been wanting a small carved heddle for my line of weaving tools but just didn't have time to design or make them but I finally did! I've designed a couple more carvings for these but for now I have the Celtic design complete. I laser etched the pattern holes so they would be super smooth.
Well here is my first set completed.

My Everything Stick
Handywoman has a new shuttle. When I'm weaving in my lazy chair with my loom in my lap I don't have a lot of room around me or table space for all the tools I might need....so....
I decided to try and combine some of them so I'd only need this tool and maybe one other small shuttle.... The new My Everything stick comes in two sizes...a large that is a little over 23" long and one that is 14.75" long. It is a shuttle, a pickup stick and a warp comb all in one and comes in two version. A boat shuttle version and a rug shuttle version. The boat shuttle version uses smoothie straws or you can order my large paper quills. So here she is...the best tool I've come up with in a long time, the My Everything Stick!
