The new gig!

**ViperJeff** · 06-03-2014, 08:33 PM

The first one we did is for a Fallen Police Offices - donation.

It was a lot of fun doing this one and yes... and hand done

One of the best parts is it's relaxing and it has nothing to do with vehicles

Very different! More pics please!

Each pull adds 1/22 of an inch to the length... we did 20 yards

Probably could, I just don't have a spinning wheel. I'm lazy and let someone else do the spinning

**ViperJeff** · 06-05-2014, 12:36 AM

Damn long day, just got the loom dressed with the next project, will be weaving ..errr... later today...

Yikes, time for bed I got work in a few hours

I was going to load up a few more pictures, sorry, just ran out of daylight... maybe later today

So son, explain a little more what this is about.

Are these products we can buy from you?

**ViperJeff** · 06-05-2014, 03:56 PM

I make them for my Daughter Kat (http://www.khrwraps.com/).

Yes they are for sale, but through Kat, I'm just part of the labor force.

You would have liked this one... It's Yellow!!!

Is what the are is hand woven baby wraps and currently in high demand over the ones done on automated machines in china. Kat has clients around the world that buy from her. It's also a lot of fun. My other Daughter Kira does most of the weaving. I maintain the equipment, keep a stock of perns ready, set up the dobbie (creates the pattern), warp the beam, dress the loom and.... yea... what did I just say....?????

Kat comes up with the colors and designs. She also names the wraps.

Cheryl also does a lot of the weaving, I'm break time back up.. yea!

The website should show you how there used. I know when Hazel was born, she spent all her time wrapped to mommy (Kat) and was never left in a room somewhere while other things had to be done around the house, so they are pretty cool and I like them a hell of a lot more the baby back packs...

more questions?

I think those are great Jeff and it is a great way for you to break from all the BS of the other stuff. I think your going to live longer...Congratulations.

And make John spin his own fur!

**ViperJeff** · 06-06-2014, 07:54 AM

I can spin it (I think), Dad just has to remove all the foreign matter and brush out the tangles and knots... first

But I hope he doesn't, not sure the world is ready for a shaved Silverback

Silverback · 06-06-2014, 03:41 PM

I guess I'm SOL.

It's hard to get the poo out of the fur after a good poo slinging session.

**ViperJeff** · 06-06-2014, 03:50 PM

hehehehehehehehe

**ViperJeff** · 09-01-2014, 01:01 PM

Well, I was down for a bit waiting on some addition gear.....

Got it all installed and rigged over the past couple of days

Back up and running.. Ya-hoooo

**ViperJeff** · 10-13-2014, 11:15 AM

Getting ready to pick up a second loom Will be headed to Sacramento California the weekend of Nov 8th. Things are progressing well and there are near 400 projects that need to be done. Looks like our runs will be up towards 80-100 yards which will give us between 10-13 projects out of each run. The software to help lay out the projects is almost done. it will help us build a design using the threads that are available and calculate how much needs to be ordered, how to spool up and warp a project. Big time saver.

It's good being busy.... makes me smile
