In Australia I buy mine at the outdoor/hiking supplies shop where they're packaged as 'tarp clips' as in good to secure a tarpaulin over a load. Add a packet of 'S' hooks and a few fruit juice bottles, the ones with a loop handle, and there's a solution for most weaving issues - a temple, a way to weight a supplementary warp and even to weight that small section of warp that mysteriosly loses its tension inthe middle of a projectHelenRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12474107494126413141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128539323306675570.post-51500051758216847332011-01-14T22:25:16.535-05:002011-01-14T22:25:16.535-05:00I found them online on amazon.com.I found them online on amazon.com.Tina Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847921637464146018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128539323306675570.post-31624467915274994462011-01-14T19:05:55.023-05:002011-01-14T19:05:55.023-05:00Neat-o!

I like the shoe as a weight, personally, though tuna cans in socks are also humorous!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308570073032398834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128539323306675570.post-6241176873288535072011-01-14T16:23:31.416-05:002011-01-14T16:23:31.416-05:00Where did you order your clamps?

That way you could adjust by adding or taking away some water. I agree with running a cord, or sticks from the front/back beam, and let the cord fall over the sticks/cord.barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465878144931259109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128539323306675570.post-54263774335890609152011-01-14T11:26:08.295-05:002011-01-14T11:26:08.295-05:00Tina, What I do is run sticks that rest on the fro...Tina, What I do is run sticks that rest on the front beam and back beam. They have holes in the ends so I can run a string through the holes and tie the sticks onto the loom to keep them in position. This way you don't have to drill holes in the loom. The string from my clips rests on top of the sticks. Want to know what I use for weights? Two cans of tuna in an old sock for each side! Silly, huh? My DH came up with that idea and it works really well for me. If you would like a picture I can send you one.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344249802520933458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128539323306675570.post-75898579431174937512011-01-14T11:04:45.936-05:002011-01-14T11:04:45.936-05:00Great problem solving!
