Over the next few weeks I am re-building my shaft draw system and converting to a Draw Harness method.  I will be posting pics.  I also have a Glimakra 10 Shaft Draw attachment (as can be seen on cover of Damask & Opphamta) and also on my blog, I may sell this if anyone is interested.  It has 11 pattern shafts, dråll pulleys, long eye heddles and the mounts.  It is for a 63" Glimåkra but if you are handy you could convert it to fit another cm loom.

I am almost finished converting to a draw harness damask system.  I will take pics and post.  It wasn't as awkward as I expected and so far I have only had to drill 2 TINY holes in the Glimakra!  I am especially pleased with the back beam extension and my discovery of "Build a Bolt" as I needed 11" bolts to secure the back warp beam and back beam supports.
