Tablet Weaving Stand Plans.

As you might know if you've done medieval-style tablet weaving before, there's a special kind of contraption usually seen when late medieval women are depicted: Some kind of stand with two uprights, one floor crossbar and usually a second crossbar, or some diagonal stabilisers. The warp is then tensioned between the two uprights, and off you go with your weaving work. 

Like here: 

Years ago, I made a simple, easy-to-take-apart stand for myself, though lacking an additional crossbar or something, and only with 1.25 m between the uprights.

Now, the plan is to make some more - but larger this time, and with bits of wood bought in a normal hardware store, and less glueing plus more screwing (hopefully not screwing up, though). That should hopefully make them even nicer to work with, and easier to take apart and put together again, with less wonkyness.

We shall see if that plan works out!
