Before commencing:
Please read the instructions
completely, identify the parts and note the
assembly sequence. Use the sandpaper supplied
to remove any sharp edges and corners. To make
assembly easier use candle wax on the screws.
Finishing:
We recommend that the wood
surfaces be waxed or sealed before assembly.
This protects the kiln dried wood from climatic
changes and prevents it getting dirty or stained.
The timber has a lovely variety of colour and
grain. For a silky smooth matt finish, use the
Ashford Finishing Wax Polish to enhance the
natural colours and character of this timber.
For older models:
If your Rigid Heddle Loom does
not have holes in the sides, mark the holes as
shown and drill them with a 6mm (¼") bit.
