Looking forward to the arrival of an early birthday gift to myself. First project, a basic lap loom made from a recycled wood picture frame, is ready to happen. Been fighting impatience; at only 8mm apart, hammering brads into the frame would likely split the wood. Why manual drilling? Focus, plain and simple.

So far, so good. The pen drill worked well for setting the pegs. Hardest part of making this basic lap loom was measuring the spacing in bad lighting. Even with a neck lamp the counts on top and bottom were mismatched. Was able to make a 1cm wide band to fasten around the frame which was slid to mark both top & bottom peg locations in pairs, thus ending the one-off counts.
@fugitive247 Why is it that tools and cars makes a person 'drool'???😜
@fugitive247 Sweet dreams!✨
Okay, 15 & 23 are both out for the night. Cat is fed and napping. Got plenty of SF beverages, and a variety of NatGeo/Nova/History Channel episodes to enjoy. It's time for the measuring and drilling to begin! 😀
