Used the warping board to measure the "warp" (threads that go front to back). Seemed to work pretty well, I need to make a mounting stand for it somehow (still.. other projects in the way).
Used the bobbin winder to wind the thread on the bobbins, it definitely winds them up fast!!!
Oh yeah and I made the shuttle shown here as well The shuttle is definitely a work in progress, not completely happy with the shape yet (needs more swoop up from the bottom so it catches less). I spent a while watching loml weave a while and did a bit of tweaking on it but have two more roughed out that I'll change the actual shape on more when I finish them (this is a 6" bobbin, since then we've gotten a bag of 4" bobbins that need a shuttle or three as well).
And now LOML is making us (or perhaps one of the family... if they're nice enough) some new placemats on the loom (nope I haven't made a loom... yet... Man are those things complicated!!). This is an "8 harness baby wolf" from schacht we lucked out on and found a good deal locally used (they are apparently fairly rare to find at a reasonable price and in good shape)
