Hello to all, and welcome new members. Now well into the twin seasons of " Mud & Sugar"-( maple syrup) in Vermont, and all that comes with a rural spring, I'll have less time to devote to my Marquardsen loom restoration.The last item on my list before dressing out the loom was to install my version of a "Weighted Temple". The temple is is quite easy to use, it works very smoothly, and leaves none of those perforations along the selvages. Best of all "One size fits all".The cost for my temple comes in at about half the price of a wooden temple at 60". It is constructed of a robust 1" x 1/4" steel flat bar, two "1/2 pulleys, two eye bolts, two tomato sauce cans, and 1/8" poly braided cord, the type used as draw strings in hooded jackets.The fabric clips are very inexpensive tarp hold down clips with key chains that swivel to eliminate cord twist. The weights are small plastic jars containing bird-shot ( lead pellets) packed tight with bubble wrap. My design also incorporates a bump rest for the beater. This type of temple can be used on most any loom design with some of the thought and attention payed to beater clearances. Much of this temple was constructed of on hand odds, and ends. Even if one were to purchase everything, it should come in at less than the cost of a quality wooden or metal temple. It would be great to see if others have also created their own version of a weighted temple! Perhaps a different design? Keep creating, keep improving! Regards, Frank- TheLoominary
