I was having trouble with the new inkle loom popping pegs. I realized that we had modified the plans to accommodate more pegs to give a longer warp, but we hadn't altered the tension bar. It wasn't giving enough slack to move the warp and I was pulling hard on it.  With a larger tension bar, it works great!

Cheap looms

This is one of the little frame looms I've been making for my weaving class. I've been trying them out as I go and actually made something on this one. Works really well. Just goes to show, if you don't have $700 for a small loom or $1500 for a floor loom, you can make your own!
I'll be putting up descriptions and pictures under the "Make your own frame loom" tab.
