I have a new to me Tools of the Trade looms that is literally in pieces in my cellar. It was completely broken down to get it here. It's number 177. Trying to connect the heavy horizontal pieces to the uprights, there are two drilled holes for what seem to be bolt connections on the bottom of the long horizontal parts, and then 2 smaller holes in the ends that would take some other bit of hardware through the upright to connect the two. But, there is some sort of metal plate dividing the bolt connection bit on the bottom of the horizontal. I know there should be something that goes through that bit that then allows the side pieces to "fix" together, but I have no idea what it is. There is nothing remotely resembling anything that would work in the small assortment of fasteners I was given.
Can anyone steer me to the proper place in the hardware store and tell me what to look for? Whatever it is called, how do I know what size to get? Is this something peculiar to Tools of the Trade loom that is no longer available? Is there a go-around? I'm obviously completely at a loss here. Any help gratefully appreciated.
