Stuff you have made today

[Dr.Al]

Finished this today as a birthday present for my Mum's birthday. Anyone got an inkling what it might be?

Made out of birch plywood, beech dowels, a lump of beech for the feet and (obviously) some brass for the knob. Everything else is off-the-shelf hardware.

For winding / unwinding wool?

Is it for her martial arts training?

 

[julianthegypsy]

No idea, but I'm intrigued!

Nice set up

I will remember that one

I would have just screwed the bolt through one of the face plate slots which would have been easiest, unfortunately it would have given me a 2 1/2" bolt centre radius not the 2" I needed. This was the next easiest way.

The guesses have dried up so I guess no one has an "inkling" what it might be, so I'll put you out of your misery.

It's an "Inkle Loom": a kind of weaving loom that can make relatively long (up to 4 metres on this one) but quite narrow (maybe 80 mm wide at a push) material. It makes fairly robust material, so gets used for things like bag straps, belts and even shoelaces. You can make quite varied patterns on it using a process called tablet weaving. That's about all I know about it!

There are some photos of a commercial one with the yarn on here: https://www.fibrehut.co.uk/products/inkle-loom

Loose all the carp in the door that retains moisture when wet( ie all the time), and it will last a lot longer
