My loom arrived direct from Holland on a pallet and was very well packaged. The Castle of the loom was already assembled as this loom operates a CAM system, also the shafts and heddles were in place which meant it was just a matter of following the instructions to complete the loom's construction.

Skipper was quickly on the case and together we enjoyed an afternoon of building the loom in situ.

 The Texsolv heddles surrounded by packaging all needed cutting apart ready to weave.

 The front legs fitted in place along with the 10 treadles.

 An easy to follow instruction book with photos makes life easy.

 Here we are all ready to weave, the warp beam, cloth beam, brake, beater, reed and so on all awaiting the first warp.

I'm using a linen cotton blend from Rowan for my first weaving. something that is easy to warp up with. I dressed the loom with a 5 metre warp a pattern of 3 wide stripes 120 ends.

I will let you know how the first weaving on my David 2 Loom goes!
