How to make a bead loom

- After my store bought loom didn't work for what I needed it to do. I decided to make my own loom more customized for what I needed it to do. I made my loom with materials I already had so I don't know the exact names of everything.
Materials I used:
1- 1 x 4 board cut 12 inches long
2 small pieces of wood cut 1 inch long each
2 bolts 3 1/4 inches long same width as my board
4 nuts to go on my bolts at each end
1 screw about a inch long to tie your cord tails down to
6 eye screws - open one of them so you can attack the button end of your bracelet to the loom
Tools needed:
saw to cut your wood
super glue gel
a grinder to smooth the rough cut edges of the wood or you could use a dremel
Watched this. Went into my basement and made it. Took about 15 minutes, I had everything I needed in stock. Thank you so much. Just started beading last week.
I don't know anything about beading. I looked this up for my son to make him a loom. I am a wood worker. So I'm going to improve on your idea. GREAT IDEA by the way
there is a message in middle of screen and i can't see your video. can you remove it?
Just when I thought I was turning into a bead artisan. Now, I'm a carpenter ;-) Thank you for this tutorial :-)
Hello thanks a bunch for showing this video, but i'm a bit confused about the boards sizing at the beginning you said it was size 12x4'', then when you were showing the screw laying across the board, you said it was at a depth of 3/1/4", so this makes it all totally confusing, hey how about showing your viewers you making something on this, it would help a lot, thanks.
Very easy to do but super glue is no where near as strong as wood glue. Would not be surprised if it got brittle and broke off by now.
Lowe's is getting tired of my "I don't know what I'm talking about but I need this thingy" shopping lists but I need to see if I can make this over the holiday break 😂 at least I'll have a video reference this time. 💁🏻
I liked ur tut for anyone without a saw try taking ur board to a local small hardware store i go to true value if u ask real nice they will cut it for u
Ok, the broad is 12 in Long, then you added the little strips of wood, so how many inches are the strips of wood from one another? How many inches did you go in on on each side to put the strips of wood?
Super glue will work, but it will fail after a while and sooner if tension is applied, especially with wood on wood. Super glue works best when gluing different media such as metal to wood. Wood glue is best when gluing wood to wood. The glue joint is actually stronger than the wood fibers and will literally rip the wood apart before the glue joint fails. Just FYI.
The only reason why I logged into CZcams today - (haven't since last year) was to say thank you ! Have a "beadiful" day all!
Never made anything like this before and you explained it perfectly. I'm a senior citizen and you made me feel like this is something I can do. I'm excited about starting this loom and bracelet. Thank you so much.
This is a very clever way of making a bead loom. If one of the wooden cross-pieces could be made movable, this would cope with work of almost any length. Well done!
Found this video and built my own loom today. So excited to try it out! Thank you for your videos. I have learned so much watching them. I am grateful you take the time to share your knowledge.
Wanted to buy a loom but came across your video, now I'm going to make my own. You're instructions are awesome and easy to follow with simple materials. Thank you so much!
I am so glad your loom worked out. I do think that the 1mm waxed cotton cord is best for these bracelets mostly because it is flexible enough to tie macrame knots. The 2mm waxed cotton cord might work too, but I would use larger beads with it. I will try my best to share what I know. My next video will be a ring.
Thanks for this! I was just looking on Amazon for a starter loom, but now I'm going to make my own because I can see right away your design is much more versatile. BTW, construction wood is really soft. You don't need a Dremel to smooth the rough edges! Any old sanding block or paper will do. Cheers--you're very inventive.
This tutorial is exactly why i feel getting a loom board online/in stores for $40 and up is just dumb and ridiculous. What is worst abt the store-bought ones are they are too simple and restrictive for our need for variety of uses. Why buy it for tht kind of price when u can just make one for yourself. Super helpful tutorial and idea for jewelry-makers who can’t afford and refuse to buy a loom/weaving board like myself. Also the quality of this board looks way better than the ones ppl buy. You’ve no idea how much this hv helped me. Very few jewelry-makers are this handy and creative especially when it comes to the tools for beading/making bracelets. Thanks so much for this! 🤩
I have the materials needed posted under all my videos in the description bar.
Materials I used:
1- 1 x 4 board cut 12 inches long
2 small pieces of wood cut 1 inch long each
2 bolts 3 1/4 inches long same width as my board
4 nuts to go on my bolts at each end
1 stew about a inch long to tie your cord tails down to
6 eye strews - open one of them so you can attack the button end of your bracelet to the loom
Love this... 9years later and your video and still helping people.. thank you
