My wide, 8-harness jack floor loom was made so the back beam can be
taken off for transport, which makes it slightly smaller and lighter but
not a whole lot. Which may or not be your situation. See if there is a
maker's label on the loom, search the web, and ask them what to do. Or
better yet, have your acquaintance's daughter-in-law do her own web
search and contact the maker, to prevent distorting any technical
instructions as they go through all those channels--h-costume, your
friend, then her daughter-in-law . . .

I have a new friend whose daughter inherited a large wooden loom - which
unfortunately was disassembled.
Does anyone know of a website for general information about reassembling
a very large loom? He knows almost nothing about the loom (it's in
another state). His daughter could not find any markings on it. It was
manually operated. Disassembled, it fit (barely) in the back of a pickup.
Is there a website he can use to get some idea of how to put it back
together?
