HAND-CRAFTED/Union - 36 - " COPY "
After restoring a U - 36 for a friend and enjoying it's performance so much, we designed this ' COPY ' using some spare-parts and modifications successfully used on other looms, as you no-doubt can see in the photo below ( if you can ' blow-it-up-somehow ). The warp is split for weaving 2-@-a-time placemats & runners, been a GREAT PERFORMER for about 3 years now.
HAND-CRAFTED/Norwood-Spinette-Copy
I drew plans of this NORWOOD-SPINETTE-' COPY ', a 4-S, 6-T, Scrap-wood, jack-type loom after learning-to-weave on one at my friend's home ( some 35 M away ) in Walnut, IL in 1979. It is dimentionally, 'close-as-I-could-get, folds to pass a 32" door, that I travelled with to ' Juried-craft-shows ' in Chicagoland, IL area for some 26 week-ends/yr over a 6 yr. period, thus enabling me to demonstrate and sell our 'Handwovens'.
