2.
Attach the left base: Orient the base
with its rubber feet at the bottom of the
loom, the curve and large hole at the back,
and the ratchet dog facing the inner side
of the loom (Figure 2). Using a knob and
T-nut slide from the previous step (the
knob shaft goes through the wider side of
the T-nut slide), go through the upper hole
in the base from its outer side, then into
the left upright. Tighten the knob loosely.
Repeat with the remaining knob and T-nut
slide, inserting the knob through the
bottom hole in the base and left upright.
Do not fully tighten the knobs yet.
3.
Insert one cloth/warp beam (now the
cloth beam) through the large hole in the
base (Figure 3). Both beams are identical
and their ends are identical. The ratchet
gear should sit against the base so the
ratchet dog will engage.
4.
Attach the right base: Remove the
right leg from the loom as you did in Step
1. Orient the base as in Step 2, fitting the
large hole over the end of the cloth beam.
Attach this base with knobs and T-nut
slides as in Step 2.
