That I did, with a couple of trips to the hardware store, and one to the lumber yard (where a kindly worker cut a really superb piece of no-void plywood into 1.25-inch strips that I glued to make double-thickness and cut to suit my purposes).Anyway, after that, and some previous repair work, I now have a loom that should take me through the rest of my career as a weaver. Unless, of course, someone decides I'm such a brilliant scarf maker that I change professions!

That's very cool!
I was posting recenlty about a coworker who recently closed her business. I greatly admire people like you who have a skill and are creative. I'd love to see some of the results of your work with the loom posted.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm planning to put on a warp soon (over the weekend, maybe sooner), so I'll have to post photos. It's been a while since I wove for my own purposes; most of what I weave I do for another weaver. I'm just the hands :)
I'm sorry to hear about the cheese shop closing down. I love small businesses, and I love cheese :)
A follow-up on the cheese shop closing-- it was covered on WNPR, public radio. They interviewed Matt, my co-worker's husband, and within a few hours, Whole Foods contacted him about a position. They still hope to reopen, when the economy is better.
