    Default Pretty little thing

    No not me...
    Came across a couple of pics of this design on the web & thought it would be a bit of a challenge to get all the spindle work looking right.
    Turned out OK with only a few rejects going in the bin.

    Not sure what the timber is, recycled kitchen shelf.
    The ratchet wheels are Boxwood, cut on the milling machine.
    I did wonder why the long pawl on the RH ratchet, my guess would be that if it were much shorter it would require a spring to hold it against the ratchet whereas now gravity does the trick.
    May get around to a bit of chip carving on the heddle.

    BTW it is sitting my home-made (kitchen top & floor tile off-cuts) router table.

    It's a loom, looks like it's for weaving narrow belts, etc.

    I haven't seen anything styled along those lines before, but I'm no expert. I just have to hope the Missus doesn't spot this post so I have to make her one...
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
