Donna DeHardt the cords are actually attached to other wooden pushers at the end. These pushers will hit and push the shuttle to the other side. I guess.
If you look closely you can see that the Flying8 loom is faster, more silent, cheaper, body friendly... Of course I did not invent the flying shuttle, but I have improved it. By now I also make my shuttles my self.
That is one hell of a shuttle mechanism! Very interesting, looks like it increases the pace manifold!
First I've ever seen of a home built hand loom. Now I want to build one! Well done (:
I think you will make it in better quality with some woodworking skills ;)
Andreas,
I am in awe of your brilliant ingenuity. Well done. And greetings from Richmond, Virginia.
Nice setup!
amazing flying shuttle. i wish to have like that.
Soon it will be available at my webshop. Watch out at www.moeller-hamburg.com
Now imagine this guy on speed
Cool, How long did the construction take?
Does the shuttle cord get woven into the selvedge?

This concept is hardly new. See YT about the Skelmanthorpe weavers
