I recently got my Standard countermarch returned by my former husband. It is in sorry shape - he left it out in the weather out of sheer meanness.
A friend has done some woodwork and replaced the front beam for me, and my cousin will be making me some new shuttles. I'm fortunate that the reeds and the jacks seem to be ok.
I'm going to start this week on the cleaning and sanding. Does anyone have some experience to pass on? I've never had to take on a refinishing project this size before.
I'm not in a position to buy a new set of texsolv heddles and tie-up kit right now, so I'm thinking I'll have to do string heddles, but that will be a fair journey down the road, as the wood repairs need to get done first.
