Loom Tensioner Bracket/Angel Wings V2

thingiverse

Bracket that clips onto the front or rear bar of a loom to hold 7/8" dowels for a simple thread tensioning device. Designed as a more compact & solid version of this device: http://joyofweaving.com/articles/simple-tension-device/ Main change from the original version is the new hole and cap for a 1/2" dowel peg to keep the bracket in place when in use. The peg cap is a very tight fit and you may need to gently tap the dowel into place with a mallet. I've sized this for my own LeClerc Artisat, which has a 1.25 x 2 inch front bar. Drop me a comment with your loom's front bar dimensions if you'd like me to make more versions. There is a 3 and 4 hole version, pick according to how many dowels you want to use. I've found 3 to work well, but the 4 dowel version is there for those who like even numbers. Print 2 of your selected version of bracket and 2 peg caps to make one tensioner system. Everything here is a friction fit, and should stay in place without additional glue or screws Feel free to make as many as you like for personal use or gifts, but please don't make to sell.
