Finished another video. It is how to set up a simple weaving jig. I dont think I am supposed to put a direct link on the site but it is on my you tube video channel or you can email me direct and I will give you a quick link.

Putting up a direct link or telling folks to email you for it is the same thing. But as long as you don't have any advertising or pushing of products in the video it's okay.

Really well done Doc. Really like the idea of the jigs built on curved / rectangular supports. They have to be much easier to work with

Well done Doc, another well made and very helpful tutorial, keep them coming! i use your 100 thread loom, which as ken stated is curved, helping to keep the threads closer to the blank. I basicly set mine up the same as you, except after i stick the threads down on the masking tape, i wrap over each layer with thread too, as jim upton does. Learnt a couple of extra things that you showed that i will try out next time.

Jersey, Channel Islands. (U.K.)

Is Hiro Tanaka still building rods? His Geisha Girl weave in the last magazine is the most amazing weaving art I have ever seen.
