scotdeerie has commented on Union 36 front ratchet spring:
Okay, now I understand! And I see how it works and why I need it. When I was thinking about getting my Union Loom, an expert in loom repair told me almost all the repair parts for the loom could be found at the nearest hardware store. Next time I'm at Home Depot, I'll be bringing home a screen door spring to see what I can rig up.
Thanks so much for the photos! :D

scotdeerie has commented on How did you get started in weaving Rugs?:
I have wanted to learn how to weave after seeing someone's loom over 40 years ago. A few months ago I got a Structo to help me weave little things (and it's fine for whatever fine weaving I want to do) but I wanted a rug loom to make rugs from recycled plastic. Specifically I want to figure out how to use the feed bags we use at the barn. Fifty horses go through a LOT of feed bags and I hated the thought of 10-15 feed bags A DAY going to the local landfill.
I found an Union Loom in my price range (cheap!) and I'm now working on a way to utilize these bags for rugs. It's not to make money, necessarily, it's just a way to recycle plastic. All rug makers know how to recycle fabric so I just think of this as 21st century "fabric".
P.S. One of my fav plastic rugs is from a 90 year old gentleman who works in a museum in PA. He makes FABULOUS rugs from store/produce bags.

scotdeerie has commented on Cleaning the Metal parts on a Union Loom...:
Have you looked into WD40? It seems to me that they advertise all sorts of uses for it including getting road tar off your car paint so perhaps it will soften tape residue? At least it won't hurt the paint.

I've tried searching but I can't find that message number. (I'm new to this site and unfamiliar with all the bells and whistles yet.) Can you give me a thread title or perhaps a direct http://-type link to the posts? Thx.
