My name is Paul, and I just purchased last night a Macomber B4 48" 4H, 6T loom. Included both plain and sectional beams. It needs a LOT of cleaning, and some SMALL repairs, but nothing too extraordinary. I haven't even gotten it home yet, but figured I'd reach out to say hello to everyone. I've been reading a LARGE number of posts on cleaning, repairing, etc., and am 100% confident I'll be bringing this guy back to a great shine and productive life very soon. I currently own a 36" Tools of the Trade 4H / 6T that I learned on, and that is absolutely perfect, but I figured a little bigger would be a little better! I've only done rugs to date, so I'm going to spend some time branching out... I know there's a lot to experience.
I love mechanical things, and can't wait to see what I can do to enhance this unit. As a near-beginner, I'm sure 4H will suffice for a while, but I"m definitely planning to add additionall harnesses and treadles. If there's a lamm or jack graveyard out there, let me know!!!
I can't figure out how to paste a picture, but if someone tells me or I figure it out, I promise to show where things are at... Can I directly past in an image, or do I need to save it at a URL?
Looking forward to sharing things with you all.
