seems to me that a loom is a device to organize thread, right? I do not own one, but looking at the price of some of them, I am not sure that I will! I have seen pics in catalogs, and it looks like one could be built very easily. I am thinking about using a piece of plexiglas for the base and gluing some foam w/ equally spaced slits cut into it to hold the treads. Does anybody have any other suggestions? Re: weaving loom

That's pretty much the jist of things.
The one I have is made of white ABS like plastic with slitted foam and numbered to keep track of your threads. Regards Dave Fishing is Life the rest is just Details Re: weaving loom

There have been plans for making your own weaving jig in several issues of RodMaker Magazine. In fact, Volume 9 #3 has an excellent and inexpensive set of plans for making one by none other than Jim Upton, the man who invented the Wonder Weaver.

When I built mine I cut a 1" wide ring off the top of a foam soda can huggie and glued it around a PVC end cap. Then it was just a matter of using a very sharp blade and adding the slits around the perimeter and numbering them.
