This is "Karl" - made by Stanley Dan, 1977
in Victoria, Australia.
Working width is 1.8 m ( 70.86" ), with 2 shafts
(can have 4). The loom is named after my grand father,
who was a textile engineer and genius in his field.
I changed the original shaft movements,
to a pulley system. That makes it easier for
tapestry weaving.

At this stage I am weaving a runner for the house.

I undid about 1.70m to get back to a rug size,
which I am now using for the work room
in the house.
This experiment also reminded
me that I have a very pale coloured dog (dear Karley)
and changed to lighter colours for the new runner !

This is "Elton", my 4 shaft, Sheridan Table loom.
I replaced the original breast and thread carrier beams
with swedish hard wood which does not bow
under tension. I also enlarged the holes through the
cloth and warp beam to insert a thicker short dowel
to make turning and releasing the warp easier.

I am weaving a bedspread in 4 panels at this stage.
