I got it most of the way on my own merit but had to look at pictures online to figure out how the warp and cloth beams were suspended on one piece of wood by putting it through the main frame. That had me stumped until I found these pictures. After a bit of wrastling, it stands complete, ready to warp. Will the ratchet affect the cloth?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834678855200709414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147858011661822583.post-36739918555146422702012-12-02T23:29:12.491-08:002012-12-02T23:29:12.491-08:00Hi, Rhondi!

The first thing I'd suggest is getting on a site called Ravelry and joining a group called Warped Weavers. You'll find more information there than can imagine! There are several Sabina owners there besides me. As far as documentation goes, there doesn't seem to be much around anywhere. I'd get a copy of Learning to Weave by Deborah Chandler. There are some good weaving DVD's put out by Interweave Press as well. Once you get the hang of weaving, it's easier to know what the Sabina's parts are meant to do.

I know next to nothing about weaving and I am trying to find some directions on how to warp & operate the Sabina as well as some clue as to how to hook up the chains and peddles. I've found someone over the internet who has some documentation and some scant directions but nothing detailed. Wondering if you have any advice for a beginner.<br />Sincerely,<br />Rhondi Schmidt in San FranciscoRhondi Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185697957259267542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147858011661822583.post-87632913023171488332011-06-26T15:49:17.895-07:002011-06-26T15:49:17.895-07:00Hi, C.M.!

Mine does have the metal ratchet and pawl in the sectional warp beam. I haven't seen enough Sabina's to know whether it was a later development or had anything to do with the period of time they were being manufactured during the war when metal would have been harder to acquire.<br /><br />My Sabina is a true joy to weave on as I'm sure yours will be - I bet it's restored by now.<br /><br />Happy weaving!<br />DebbiDebbiRYarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372537454421664183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147858011661822583.post-54774911699587076032011-05-14T17:53:59.807-07:002011-05-14T17:53:59.807-07:00Hi Debbi

They were made in 3 sizes (yours is the largest) and in rising shed and counterbalance styles and marketed as rug looms. (Mine is counterbalance). It came with a cherry ratchet and paul in the middle of the sectional warp beam. Photos I've seen of others have a metal ratchet and pawl. I don't know if the earlier ones had wooden ones or if at one time someone replaced the metal ones on mine with wood. Mine looked original. I would love to get a hold of a set of metal ones, but to have them custom made would cost a fortune. It was nice to find someone else that has one of these unusual little looms.<br />Take care,<br />CCC.
