    Description

    These plans include a complete materials list, dimensioned drawings, and many color photos of every detail to enable you to construct your own 4-harness loom.
    This is not a toy, it is a full function four frame loom.  Note:   Another seller is offering a kit for a similar looking loom but it is only 2 frames (instead of 4) and does not operate as easily or quickly.  It looks like they build it from my plans but make it simpler.  That loom WILL NOT WEAVE the complicated patterns this one is capable of, so don't be fooled.  Also, two other sellers are offering plans:  One is simply reprints from old books you can get at the library for free which do not have the special features I invented for this loom, and the other one is a very nice loom but it will cost you much more to build and some parts may need to be custom-made for you.  Mine is simple for the novice to build, very inexpensive, and can do all of the patterns shown plus many more.

    ost of loom built from basic design: plus a screws, nails, etc.
    Traditional looking design—not something weird like an inkle loom or rigid  heddle design,
    this is a "real" 4-harness, full functioning loom for serious weaving in a small space.
    An 8-page set of plans will be sent to you which is adequate (in itself) for a competent woodworker to build the loom.
    It will also include a link to a secured website with 18 more pages and 40 color photographs featuring close-ups of every detail.
    The site also has step-by-step instructions for building and adjusting the loom and alternatives for those who own few tools which enable the novice to complete the project.
    My e-mail address will also appear in the plans if you get stuck.
