Rug loom
« on: January 19, 2018, 07:29:41 am »
With all of my hobbies taking up time and space around Robin started some new ones herself.Making rugs.Made this loom for her out of some spare oak around here and she likes it.I gotta say they are very nice rugs too.She likes those plants too.....LOL.Orchids and African violets are her favorite.

Very  cool Ed. These hobbies do take up a lot of space but yours looks much more organized than mine. I love the rug and all the plants to. That's the biggest thing I miss about winter is plants.

Yes I know what you mean and that's why I don't mind a forest in the house.....LOL.I even had to build her a green house for her for more space for her plants in the summer.She starts herbs and tomato plants early in the spring too.She started those osage trees to send off for you guys in there too.Think it measures 8' by 18'.Surprisingly it gets and stays warm in there through pretty chilly temps.


Her bees and other animals & pets too keeps her pretty busy.I'm just there when things go awry or difficult.A task many men know about.

Thanks...I can't take credit for the components and design of the green house but thought it filled the bill for us.We erected it back in 2014.It's made out of red wood for long term use.I did design the little wood stove in there though.Robbed it from it's wall tent duties to be truthful.It has an electric milk house heater as a back up too though.Thermostat and the whole nine yards.
A sun screen fabric on the interior is needed during the summer months.Otherwise it'll get almost hot enough to cure EA 40 smooth on epoxy.....LOL.The orchids do very well in there.

Looks like a good set up, loom and growing room.  Wife pays the long dollar for good rag rugs as she likes them around the house and they are easy to clean.

You two have certainly got a lot of bases covered.
Great concepts and designs. I like solar and steel buildings.
I like rugs but a loom is a stretch even for my imagination.
They are cool but seem so complicated.
