Another Project

We have made an addition to the Stove Project, which has nothing to do with the Stoves. For part of the month of May I worked on making a prototype of a loom that will weave strips cut from milk bags into matts for babies to sleep on. The bottom is cut off the outter milk bag, the balance of the milk bag is cut into 1" strips, they are looped together into an endless 'chain'. In the past these chains have been croched together into small matts and carrying bags. Bigger matts (3' x 5') are required, hence the need of a loom which will be more productive. The protoype was built to provided a matt 15" wide, and it working well. While at the Village of Ascension, we will be building a loom to make a 3 foot wide strip.
