Hey everyone!
So, I am very new to weaving, like this is my first project new. I got a Schacht tapestry loom from my grandmother a few years ago, and I am just now getting around to using it. I have all of the weft yarn on, and I have all of my heddles on (and are correct as far as I know). However, when I raise my lower bar to weave, my shed is small, but workable; when I try to raise the upper heddle bar to weave, the shed does not exisit at all! I't taken some pictures in hopes that someone can help me figure out what I am doing wrong.
This is what my loom looks like just in the "resting" position.

Where is my shed?

If anyone has any idea what is going on, I would appreciate any and all help. I want to tear my hair out, and I have barely even started!
