I bought a 1980 Norwood loom recently, cleaning it up now. The cherry loom has an oil finish, Nora is a beauty! This NEW weaver is going to start weaving rugs with very old Aunt Lydia's Rug Yarn. The blue paper on the reed is peeling back, will it catch the warp string while weaving? What would you do about the reed? So thankful to see you do a loom video!
The paper is just there to protect the string wraps that set the gauge of the reed, as long as the strings are ok it should be fine. You could always just run a strip of tape over it, I sometimes do that if the reed sits too loose in the grooves it sits in on the beater.
You are a true Early American artist, woodsman, sawyer, carpenter, mechanic, and rifleman that takes the time to teach us how to live a simple life. Pine tar on tools, weapons and furniture will last for generations due to your hands on instructions. Thanks so much for your helpful channel which is a blessing.
Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate it. I have always been fascinated by weaving. Our closest neighbor 5 miles down the road has a loom but I don't think she does much anymore as she is poorly at 93. She told my husband she would teach me but then fell ill. It's a shame that I missed out on learning a skill from master. She only speaks French and I only speak English but I'm sure we could have managed. Blessings from the Bas- Saint Laurant in Quebec!

Good video. I worked shows in NY State and New England for close to 20yrs. I had a commercial picture framing shop set-up in my basement. So I worked every evening til late making product and traveled and sold on the weekend. A lot of work, but it helped put our daughter through college. Over time I built up a great clientele of repeat customers that I got to know personally along with other vendors I'd see at the shows. Lot of great people from all different walks of life out doing the same thing I was. I miss those days and my old friends. I've been out of it for many years now, but still have the complete shop downstairs. But, you're exactly right about finding you're customer base.....because if you don't, you're just wasting you're time. Something you had to learn as you go, nobody was going to teach you that. Thanks for the video.
I enjoy all your videos, but found you originally from loom videos. Glad to see a loom in your hands again and looking forward to seeing it in operation.
Thank you so much for this channel and the loom videos, I have learned a lot from them. I received an ORCO 70 (used) for Christmas 2018 and the warp was on the warp beam backwards. My very patient husband and I worked it on correcting it without having to unthread the whole thing. What gave the backwardness away was the brake didn't work. I am really struggling with the brake and would really appreciate a video that shows how to use the brake correctly. I have made one rug out of T-shirts that taught me a lot. Thank you again.
Next time I am at Mom's I will do a video on the brake one the Orco, it does differ from the original Union design. Your not the first with backwards warp, the easiest way to correct it is roll it off unto a second loom, then run it back on, but not everyone has a second loom lying around. T shirts are one of the harder things to start out weaving, stretchy materials will give you trouble keeping the edges straight, the tendency is to pull in which starts breaking the outside warp. An easy thing to start with is corduroy, packs well, and makes a rug that's solid and doesn't slide on a floor.
@@logcabinlooms Oh, thank you for the advice. We wound the warp off the beam using long tubes/broom handles and wound it back through a dog comb as it didn't come with a warping comb. I've bought one since. I really look forward to seeing your Mom's brake. Thank you in advance.
Oh, I hope he will make rugs again in the future. I watched the old videos and saw the rugs that sold on etsy, and really like to buy one for the house. :-)
I just bought a Union Loom. Will be picking it up next week in Columbus, Ohio. Worried I will have to take it apart to fit in the vehicle and getting it in the door and into my small home. I am so excited about finding the loom and making rugs, thanks to you & your logcabinlooms & cuttingthe rug RUclips channels. What type of warp do you recommend using? Who do you purchase the warp from? I really enjoy your gardening, cooking and weaving videos.
Definitely interested in anything weaving. I made my own loom a few years ago and weave. It is a Swedish vertical countermarch with 8 shafts. Lots of folks out there doing same, not high numbers, but we are here.
Thanks for posting this... Whatever the question is, you're definitely part of the answer 😊 I would be pestering you all the time if you lived over here 😂
I've got quite a bit of use out of the rug I bought. I used it in the living room for years, now that the kids are old enough to shoot, I put it in the range bag as a shooting mat. I'm interested in a big denim rug if you get back into it.

This guy is literally the most interesting man in America. He has more hobbies that hipsters would love to mimic.

Thank for all the knowledge you share.
Are you still selling any of your rugs? I remember years ago you could purchase one from you online.
Oh, I hope he will make rugs again in the future. I watched the old videos and saw the rugs that sold on etsy, and really like to buy one for the house. :-)
@@ostapk8624 Yeah, that's why I asked. I should have bought some a while ago. Would even be interested in getting one from his sister.
It was great to see a loom here again. You really are the most interesting man on RUclips!
Keep the rug videos coming! I've watched your old ones. Would love to learn more about how to use a loom and make rugs and fabrics.

Great story, well told. Nice.

Looks like several of us would be interested in purchasing. Glad to see you back on the loom.
Thanks for posting this... Whatever the question is, you're definitely part of the answer 😊
I would be pestering you all the time if you lived over here 😂
Thanks for the video, enjoy every one.
I love the weaving videos! I would love to see your wool rugs! Where can I see them?
The Birthday Loom...good story
Thank you for enabling comments!
Good keeping the Craft ! 🔥🔥👍👍👍🔥🔥

Can you give any advice on buying a used loom? Such as, if a loom is over 40 years old one should not pay more than $400 for it. Thanks.
Amazing video you know a lot of stuff.
love just love this ;-)
The Most Interesting Man in the World!! Stay thirsty my friends!!! :)
Vary interesting a older lady I new had one. Do you live in Minnesota?

@@logcabinlooms I'm about 10 minutes from little falls MN
Hey, I have a Union 36 and am about to start to warp. When you have time can you do a post about that? Thanks!
Years back I did a video on warping mom's 2 harness Orco loom, which is modeled after the Union, that may help you as the process is identical.
What is a Union rug loom worth?
👍🤠
