Hello! I have a new-to-me Macomber arriving this weekend, 14 shafts (16 capacity). Due to the length of my warps, I warp sectionally. The loom does not come with a sectional beam, however I have extra rakes from my LeClerc that are the appropriate length. Thoughts on converting the plain beam to sectional using these rakes?
I would also like to add live tensioning (http://www.tienchiu.com/2009/05/live-weight-warp-tensioning-system/), which I have already done on my four shaft. Is there any reason this wouldn't work? I assume the brake can be disabled? Thanks!!!
