It appears that my Tools of the Trade 36" 8 shaft 10 treadle loom has holes beneath the warp beam which leads me to believe it can handle a secondary beam. Is that true? I'd like to make a sectional beam for my loom, but am afraid to take apart the braking/advance on it (never done it). Also, sectional beams are EXPENSIVE!! So - anyone ever done this? Can I use LeClerc hardware? Know of any plans out there? Are there gotchas in doing this? Need advice please!
Thanks.
