The Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom assembly instructions
Tools required
Before commencing, please read the instructions completely, identify the parts and note the assembly
sequence. Use the sandpaper supplied to remove any sharp edges and corners.
We recommend that the wood surfaces be waxed or sealed before assembly. This protects the kiln dried
wood from climatic changes and prevents it getting dirty or stained. The Silver Beech tree is a native of
New Zealand and has a lovely variety of colour and grain. For a silky smooth matt finish, use the Ashford
Wax Polish to enhance the natural colours and character of this timber.
To make assembly
easier use candle
wax on the screws
and hooks.
Attach the reed support blocks to the sides with 38mm (1½") screws.
Tap the “clicker pins” for the pawls to the bottom of the holes in the right loom side.
Attach the 2 pawls to the loom side from the inside with 30mm (1¼”) bolts. NOTE the “clicker pin” fits into
the gap in the pawl. Take care to ensure the “clicker pin” does not damage your table. Rub a little candle
wax on the thread to make assembly easier. Leave 0.5mm (1/32”) gap under the head of the bolt. DON’T
over tighten. The pawl should move freely and “Click” as it snaps past the pin.
Attach the front and back rails to the left side with 38mm (1½" ) screws.
Rub candle was over both ends of the front and back roller, then insert the short end of the rollers into the
holes in the left side.
Insert the long ends of the rollers into the right side and attach to the front and back rails with 38mm
(1½") screws.
Note: When assembling the 120cm (48") loom use the 45mm (1¾") screws supplied.

Place the cogs onto the ends of the rollers. Check the teeth engage the pawls. THEN secure with washers
and 20mm (¾") screws.
Locate the 4 pins on the handles
into the 4 holes in the cogs. Then
give the handles a sharp hit with
your fist so they snap down tight
onto the cogs.
When weaving - to release the
warp tension to advance the
warp, turn the handle slightly &
then lift the pawl out of the teeth.
Connect the warp sticks
to the roller with the warp
stick ties. First push the
arrow head through the
warp stick.
Then push the arrow head
into the small hole in the
roller and out the large
hole as illustrated.
Locate the reed into the rest position of
the reed support blocks.
