I am a beginner and am considering a 24" cherry floor loom made by Norwood. Of course, my initial concern is having no source for replacement parts. In my google searching I found "McGarr Norwood Looms Co. " on facebook. For those of you with Norwood looms, I thought you might be interested. I have sent a pm to the grandson or great grandson of original makers but have not been able to talk with him directly to see just how involved they are in the new/old business. Has anyone had any experience getting/not getting replacement parts? Maybe you have never needed anything? Any advise or experience would be greatly appreciated. I had wanted my first loom to be 8 shaft but this one available is only a 4. Obviously, one of my questions to the new McGarr Norwood Loom Co. is "can a four shaft but upgraded to an 8 shaft"? .Thank u for any comments. up
