I have recently had an issue with the brake on my David III. It just started happening where I would lift it to advance the warp and the spring would come off. As many of you know, my husband Don is all about fixing things. He was the one that made my paper roll holder, and he came to my rescue yet again with the spring problem. If any of you are interested, he put together a PDF of how he fixed it.

What a beautiful solution. And your layout for instructions are the best!

Fabulous !! I've only had the spring pop off once, and that was when I released the brake handle abruptly by accident. Your permanent fix looks so professional and easy !!

Thanks! The layout and documentation are all Don's. He loves to do that stuff. I told him he probably shouldn't have photographed it on the rug, but I think you can see pretty well. He welcomes any questions and says the "shoulder washers" should be available at any hardware store. He's a keeper for sure ;)

Regarding photo on the rug. Well I love those photos with your pretty rug. Its so colorful!

Here’s another time saver. Zero center rulers. I just installed them on the back of the castle, under the raddle, and on the beater. I’m having a good time tricking out my David 3 😂

Perfect Deb...where did you order the tape from?

I used some alien tape to mount a tape measure on a long IKEA Kallax shelf. It has some thickness to it. Because it was on a horizontal surface I just tacked it down.

Kallax shelves. LOVE those. We have so many but I need more because they are great for yarn storage. It’s like having my own yarn shop. 😂
