weaving away

[KLWeaver]

Thank you Bubba, that means a lot.

I'm sorry, I guess I don't know what to do here. Several members know that I weave as a hobby and as part of a business. Should I just say my "friend" instead of business partner? I'm not trying to sell anything and if you notice, I don't sell stuff on the adverts page either. I use this forum for my own knowledge and education, and to see all the other cool stuff people are up to.

I am a loss for what you feel you need me to do?

you need to just shine the haters on and "Keep on Keepin' on."

Ramm, you do lovely, colorful work, and I hope you continue your craft! I recently found a Shratt inkle loom at a garage sale and brought it home. Have not done much, (made a mess of my first effort) but hope to create something useful one day. Your work is an inspiration, thank you for sharing and be Blessed! George. :hatsoff:

Feel free to message me if you have any questions! It's tough to figure out at first but once you get a rhythm, you're good to go!

Uno, I can very heartily recommend the book "Inkle Weaving," By Helene Bress. It will not only teach you how to weave, but also cshows you how to build a loom.
The one I built using the drawings in her book has worked fine.

Very nice :thumbsup:

Very nice weaving. Wife picked up a loom at the thrift store for me.. Haven't had time to give it a whirl yet. Just plan on a plain strap for a first shot

Very nice I will have to look that book up. How long does it take you to weave a strap say for a horn.

 

[KLWeaver]

The fastest I've ever made a powder horn strap, 5 feet long, was 20 minutes beginning to end. When I started weaving, of course it took longer, but in the last year I've cut my weaving time in half.

If you are doing anything you don't enjoy doing,go for speed,on the other hand if you enjoy it, slow down and do just that ,,enjoy it.
Got a box of straps I made over the winter,,nothing else to do,look out the window at the snow and cold and enjoy the warmth of the fire.Starting to get Woods Fever,then we have 20" of new snow coming according to the Weather Guessers,getting here this week end, staying till mid week.

 

[bubba.50]

with the very reasonable prices they both charge I believe I'll just get any straps I need from either Ms. Ramm here or Ms. Polizzi over at The Horner's Bench. have purchased top-notch products from both & give them both the highest of recommendations. :hatsoff:

 

[uno676]

Thanks I'll have to track that book down. I think that maybe next winter project.
