These Looms are not historically correct, but are made using period methods to be used by craftsmen that prefer to use them.
The first is an Inkle Loom. This style of loom is used by modern craftsmen to make sashes and belts of various lengths of up to about seven feet. These are popular for teaching youths to weave, and for anyone who needs to weave narrow material quickly.
The second is a type of Table-top Loom. This can be made in a variety of widths and may be arranged to make rather long pieces of work, some in excess of twenty feet in length. In spite of the extreme length of the work piece, the loom is a very manageable piece at less than four feet in length, and weighing less than ten pounds.
This particular loom is built to make a 12" wide piece of work that is over twelve feet long. It has a heddle to ease the weaving process, and one side is removable to ease the warping of the loom.
