Well… I’m at it again. I’ve been having back issues and reaching to pull the brake handle on my David 3, 110 cm loom was killing me, so I put on my engineering cap and came up with a solution. I added a motorcycle hand brake to my loom, it sounds crazy but only took 15 minutes and $30 (US) to do it. It also didn’t involve changing the standard brake at all and is easy to remove. Not only do I not have to reach and twist anymore, the precise control I have over tension is amazing. I made a video about it if you have any interest.
Cheers, Trent
