I knocked this together out of scrap maple. Now I can make my own straps and sashes. This is my first so it's a learning experience

They are neat device, I've watched the process and am always amazed.

I do a lot of inkle loom stuff and once you get the right pressure on the weft it becomes a very quick process

Just made my first sash.  New experience for sure.  came out nice but takes time...now for a shorter one for a horn strap...   Nice to be selfsufficient.  Keep it up.

Nice job!  My wife has found that having two side walls helps keep everything nice and tight and she can put a lot of pressure on the straps she makes... 

I also added a base unit that allows her to have the top section for tabletop and rendezvous use (up to 36" long 10 inches wide) and the bottom section for home use (addes additional lenghs up to a total of 12 ft or so).'

Looks great. just a tip when you get ready and want to try 100%wool be prepared for it to frizz or ball up on your hedles.  I use polised hemp from Waly world and it doesn't seem to grab as bad as some do.  Have fun.
