all the looms at the residency are 4 harness looms with the exception of an 8 harness table loom that doesn't work, and because their weaving studio technician recently quit to move to another country they don't have anyone who knows how to fix it but luckily i do. and tbh a lot of stuff is in disrepair (i already had to repair one of the spinning wheels) which really makes me 👀 the former studio tech because the majority of your job as a weaving studio tech is maintaining the equipment and this level of disrepair would take years of neglect lol but whatever idk that story i'm trying not to judge. so i'm going to fix the 8 harness loom and clean up some of the equipment and repair a few other things while i'm at it cause god knows when someone else will

If you became super rich and could design your own house, but could only add THREE unnecessary/random/expensive home additions (like how people will have bowling alleys, movie theatres, closets with museums of shoes, car display rooms, spa rooms, wine cellars, etc. in their mansions) - what three would you choose?

today’s solo antiquing

All finished with the restoration of my Triplett 1232-A signal generator. Tested it tonight, and it works OK on all frequency bands. It's always nice when you can bring a vintage piece of electronic gear back to life.

Half the fun of photographing old farm equipment is figuring out what the bloody hell these diabolical contraptions actually DID ...

It was nice enough to get outside with my new painting without it getting rained on. I guess summer has begun. This is "The Crawler," my ninth piece for the Cedar Creek series.
