My most recent project, the reason the new clock hasn't got very far, is a table-top weaving loom for my wife. She already has a 70cm wide folding model made by Louet but wanted the 40cm version as well due an accute attack of OLAD (Obsessive Loom Aquisition Dissorder), a common afliction among dedicated weavers. Rather than force her to save up the considerable asking price I decided to build one for her as a Christmas present. It wasn't quite finished in time but is now working nicely.

The design is a blatant rip-off of the original with changes to cope with it being a one-off DIY project without the fancy moulded parts and I changed the sizes of timber used to match the range of DAR Tasmanian Oak available from Bunnings Warehouse. One of the reasons for it not being finished in time was that production could not start until after a visit to Perth in November from which I returned with the car stuffed full of a 12 inch bandsaw and and a surprising amount of timber which left no room for passengers. The wife and her mother flew there and back anyway so I was safe!
