If you need a 12-foot warp, just place these 12 feet apart and warp away. they can also be used as fixed points for <em>kute-uchi<\/em> loop-braiding if that&#8217;s more to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new bases are made of pine. The bases are 7.75&#8243; square and 6&#8243; tall. Given the 0.75&#8243; thickness of the lumber, that leaves a nice size void inside for the steel blocks, which are 3&#8243;x6&#8243;x1&#8243; each. The boxes are held together with screws, which is not very attractive, but I wanted to be able to retrieve the blocks later if I need them for something else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve made several sets of small warping pegs, called bodai in Japanese, in the past, and even made this full-size pair some time ago.
