More wood, less metal.

I agree, it looks homemade.

$99 for a working table loom is sweet.

(Was the Ken doll a bonus? ;-)

Thanks for the giggle Sally, but no Ken doll for me. Those are from the auction. I laughed when I noticed him. I lemon oil'd this girl up today and retied her current warp to test it out. I will have to cut off the current project and rewarp as the tension is a hot mess and I don't get a good shed on some. There were a ton of threading booboos too. The folks I got it from said that they have a lot of Amish in their local community and thought it might be Amish made but I don't think they use screws and I have never touched any Amish made wood piece not perfectly square and smooth. This one is pretty nice, just not quite Amish finishing in my opinion.
