HOT TIPS:
close project “windows” after a desk session (smoother landings when the runway is clear)
zoom way in
zoom way out
ok, bye bye!
wefts
job box
serendipitous curbside find now holding cording supplies
wove the first Danish cord frame last Tuesday – feeling accomplished having that step under my belt now
several tacks secure the start and end of the weaving cord
used most nails twice, and a few just once
45 rows of weaving, in all
onto the second frame – got the tacks in last Thursday, and just got through warping and wrapping the rails Saturday
hot tips and observations from the first go were helpful for the second round of drilling pilot holes, hammering tacks, warping, and wrapping cord
picked up a few more since
HOT TIPS:
pack rows of weaving as you go (like Jim said), otherwise you may run out of nails…
don’t pull weft cord too tightly – there should be a little slack in the cord while weaving
don’t work frustrated – take mental and physical breaks whenever necessary
that last bit is somewhat of a universal revelation: don’t work angry – that’s when mistakes happen
spotted this flower while looking through process photos
different from how i saw things through the viewfinder
reminder to keep my eyes peeled, for something new… !
learning scheduling and time management on this project
practicing setting reasonable goals and expectations, and making time for rest
remember:
practice makes progress
ok, bye bye… !
tacky
kept on cording this past Wednesday – got things pretty well set up for weaving.
the Danish “L” nails for warps and wefts – technically not tacks
these are round-about 7/8 inch long with a 1/6 inch shank and 3/8 inch flanged head for holding strands of Danish cord
cordless drill and 1/16 inch drill bit
using tape on the bit to help prevent drilling too far
8oz claw hammer
good general purpose banger – got most of the nails in with this
7oz tack hammer
real handy for the corners
needle nose pliers
essential for holding corner nails in place to hammer without smashing fingers
went through 100 on a single frame – dang
used templates as guide for punching nail locations, drilled pilot holes, then hammered them home.
kept the weft nails staggered and aligned the warp nails down the center of the rail – less fussy, i think.
HOT TIPS:
drill ALL pilot holes before beginning nailing
set nails closest to the inner corner FIRST (in this case the corner weft nails)
set outer corner nails second (corner warp nails, here)
RIP to the first drill bit… oops.
