Hi- I have been on the hunt for an upright, floor stand tapestry loom with warp & cloth beams. Something like a Tissart perhaps. Alas, nothing has been coming up anywhere nearby- not even within 6 hours driving distance. (I am near Seattle.)
So I am considering other options. One that has occurred to me is that I could probably use an old floor loom and convert it to my needs. Right? Has somebody else done this, or attempted it? I am interested in your experiences with that. Or any red flags you might have just from the idea? The beams and braking systems would be in place. I would possibly need to figure out a way to add more tensioning to any uprights... Ideas?
Thanks!
