Okay, i've built and attached the new treadle brace/ spool rack.
The next problem was how to control the threads as they come off the spools. The original loom would have had a wire with multiple loops bent in several different directions. No clear picture of how it should have looked, and a later edition of the instruction manual stated that the newer versions of this loom were equipped with" a thin board with wire staples". Okay, what? My solution, a board with eye hooks. I don't know yet if it is a good solution. I have to solve the next problem before I know how this solution works.

It looks very practical but please let us see the whole construktion of the loom. It´s a bit difficult for us europeans to understand how it works. / Ulf
Ulf,using this set up, according to the original instructions, and missing pieces, without any clear idea of what they should look like, resulted in tangles and broken threads. I did more research on worping a sectional loom and came up with a different plan. I spent all day cobbling together a warp tensioning box and a spool rack. Tomorrow I will try it out and post better pictures of the whole process. Wish me luck.
