Loom Comb
The last piece of the loom project has been made. Now its just a matter of applying finish. The last few weeks have been hard on the loom project. First I spent time sizing a thin piece of stock for the comb, only to realise the grain direction was all wrong. The widest piece of Purpleheart I had left was only 2 inches. So I had to order a new board and wait for it.

Masking Tape & Superglue
Work holding is a never ending struggle in my woodworking life. I’m at the point in the loom project where I need to make a small comb to allow the weave to be packed down after each pass of the shuttle. This needs a pretty thin piece of stock to be worked. None of my normal work holding solutions work for something this small and flexible.
