weaving jig construction.

ok, I am tired of weaving with double stick tape! always loses its stickiness half way through. I need a weaving jig. so, I dug through all my back issues and found an article in rod crafters journal july-august-september 98 by John Stumpe. he mentions using a jig developed by Kel Cheatham in orlando florida. a very simple looking device, where the threads are held in plastic gromet strips with foam between.
my question is does anyone know what exactly these grommet strips were intended for, and where can i get them?

Kel runs a rod and reel repair shop in Orlando, FL. e-mail me and I can give you contact info. The jigs work well and are not that expensive.

If you've seen pictures Jim Kastroff's weaves in RodMaker Magazine, you will be surprised to learn that he's only been building rods for 6 years! One of the tools that he has developed is a light weight weaving loom (I have his 40 thread loom). Contact him

Take a look at the McMaster-Carr web site. www.mcmaster.com
They have them at what appears to be a reasonable price
