Ratcheting Screw Driver -- Just like Tom Kniesley has for removing the bar over the shafts and pulling out and re-installing the reed during warping. All this time, I've been using a little key-chain type screw-turner. This works much better!
Yup-- That's 6-pound Fishing Line to be used as floating selvedges with with Jaggerspun Zephyr wool / silk warp. (Actually, it's 10# because my local hardware store didn't have 6#, but ok.)

Tuesday’s Weaving Tip – Using Fishing Line for Your Selvages
Drawer Pulls - Nice heavy drawer pulls.
Drawer Pulls to separate the heddle sets I need to concentrate on while threading. Thee work really well to keep the unused heddles out of the way. They are nice and heavy, and the "wings" keep it from sliding off the rails. I've used a lot of make-shift items (pipe cleaners, sticks / dowels, etc.) for this purpose and none of them work as well as this.
Now -- Can you guess what I did this weekend?
