Notes: 

A copy of an 18th Century Box Tape Loom used for weaving tape,ribbon, inkle for everyday use. Quite common for most to have some sort of a tape loom in there homes. Long lengths of tape could be woven and stored in a box, basket etc. Whenever a piece was needed they just cut off the length they needed. Uses for tapes were ie. belt, powderhorn straps, shoestrings, corset lace, apron ty's, tying bag shut, trim on clothing etc.
