Pin looms are small, affordable introductions to weaving that are quite capable of going from tiny and simple projects to much larger objects and garments when pieces are connected. Not terribly expensive, a ton of good resources out there on learning, and a fun way to expand our textile offerings without taking up much space.

Cost would vary based on size and quality of looms and number of books purchased.

Could potentially be a great collaboration project with our woodworkers and save cost!

We have belt sanders in the metal shop that are 1" but not in the wood shop. The 6" belt sander is great for taking off a lot of material and shaping but not good for fine detail and finishing. We have the same issue with the oscillating sander where the rounds and the belts tend to be lower grit sand paper that is good for shaping but not good for finishing. A 1" X 42" belt sander would allow us to use the same belts we sell for the Machine Shop in the wood shop and make getting finer grit and finish sanding on small or awkward shaped projects easier.
