Newest addition to my Studio Union 36 loom


I just bought this Union 36 rug loom, bonus is it has lots of warp already on it. I took off about 10 yds of this warp and decided it was good enough to put to use. I've already made 3 rugs and am planning to continue working off this warp.

It is really good shape. It was kept in a large house as a decorative item according to the seller.
I also bought an antique treadle sewing machine from her. It's a Minnesota Model A, really nice machine. It too is in pristine condition, oiled and well cared for.
I am now ready to start selling some of the stuff I make. It's time to make a little of the money back that I've put into all this equipment. So, I opened an Etsy store. I haven't listed anything today, but am getting together a small inventory to do so.

What model Rigby cutter is this ?????

Top view down onto it:




So, do you know what model Rigby this is? I found it at a thrift store and was wondering if I can change the blades for 1/2- 2" strip cutting for rug weaving???
If you know, please let me know.

Spot bronson sample weave



Here is the spot bronson weave. Or one of them. I like the look and it's soooooo easy to work it up. I'll post pics after I finish and wet finish the sample. I'm using my 12H Purrington Table loom that I've recently acquired. I did have to make a couple of minor repairs to get it working, but considering the price I got it for, it was well worth the effort.
