Step One: Glimakra Assembled!

assembled and ready to be tied up

For the most part, assembly went pretty well. The instruction manual was clear and well diagrammed until it came to installing the lamms. The manual went right into how to tie them up, not how to attach them to the loom. I finally found a decent photo online and figured it out from there. Fortunately, I wasn't working from new out of the box, so it went fairly quickly. The harnesses, countermarche, beater, treadles, and bench were already assembled and just needed to be put in place.

That was the easy part! Next, I need to level the harnesses and tie up the lamms and treadles.

Color me impressed!

Actually, me too! I was dubious just looking at all the pieces laid out. But when I looked at the diagrams and followed the steps it all began to make sense. Kind of like following a knitting pattern.

Leigh, I have a question, since you are on the Blogger platform, too. I can't start a new post. The "New Post" button shows in the upper left corner of the "Reading List" page, but it only blinks when I click it. Have you had any such problems?

Leigh said...

Michelle, I've never started a new post from the reading list page, so I gave it a try. It opened right up to a new post. So I'm not sure what's going on for you. Maybe a temporary glitch? Has it cleared up?

Michelle said...

Nope, it's been impossible for days. How DO you start a new post?

Leigh said...

I always start them from my posts page; just hitting +New Post. If i was having trouble, I'd ask about it in blogger's community help forum. That's in the menu of the question mark icon on the top right corner. Choose "help" and then "ask the help community" at the bottom.
