Whether you’ve just moved your loom into a new studio or you simply want to establish a yearly ritual of care, this printable Floor Loom Annual Maintenance Checklist gives you a clear, methodical system for inspecting, tightening, cleaning, and lubricating your loom with confidence.
Looms are precision wooden machines. They shift with humidity. Bolts loosen. Brake systems drift. Dust gathers in places we forget to look. This checklist walks you step-by-step through everything that matters so you can protect your investment and improve your shed quality before committing to your next warp.
Designed in a classic “heritage tool manual” style, this PDF is meant to be printed, hole-punched, and kept in your weaving notebook for annual use.
