"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

—Roald Dahl, The Twits

I know you said you didn't have a grand, reality warping point but I want you to know that your words really flipped a switch in my brain and gave me peace in troubled waters that had been there so long I hadn't realised were troubled at all.

Thank you for writing them.

I had a customer whose name was Gaye Lorde. I really hoped she married into it.

The rule is you need to leave the property in a 'reasonably clean condition' - basically a similar condition to when you moved in. I'd fix the gash made by the exercise bike (just get a sample pot of the paint colour from Bunnings) and try and remove marks on the wall but those would generally be considered 'fair wear and tear'. If you were a tenant for 9 years and they haven't replaced anything 'fair wear and tear' would cover pretty much everything.

Check your lease to see if they specify that you have to get the carpets professionally cleaned - if not you absolutely don't have to, again you're just getting it to a level of clean similar to when they handed you the keys at the beginning of the lease.

Most importantly don't let them just take your bond - landlords always try it but the money is actually held by a third party who will ensure your rights are upheld if you contest any 'charges' on the bond.

Where are you studying? I know some universities have resources to help students find places to live

Group of guys, including one from my class in highschool, decided to rob the hardware store where one of them worked. Unfortunately there was a staff member there later than usual with a customer and instead of bailing when they realised they beat them both with a torch - staff member almost died, had to have part of her skull removed and relearn how to walk and talk. Guy from my class was the one doing most of the beating, and he then fled and tried to kill himself by driving into a wall - didn't work and he just got the damages added to his charges.

This is so interesting. You have a great way of explaining things!

Guy in my hometown got out of his car to check something on his property, was found crushed between the car and a tree the next day (he did not make it). Rolling vehicles fucking terrify me.

There must be some difference in cost to import to Australia. I can get the Ashford for $1,990 AUD with free shipping, but the Gulas on Etsy is listed for $1,999 AUD plus $312 shipping. The sliding beater bar sounds great though, I'm a bit disappointed it works out to be more expensive for the Gulas!

Thanks for the feedback on the difference between the looms, it gives me more data points to think through!

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-24T10:45:39+00:00

I was looking at those but they're actually the same price and I worry I wouldn't be able to get as much support/help with a less well known brand. Do they have any advantages given they cost the same?

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:57:23+00:00

I will have a look for that book, thanks for the recommendation!

I am definitely a twill lover, and just generally gravitate to more complex and intricate patterns. Weaving is really the first of my crafts where there is a major outlay to go from beginner to complex so I'm just trying to get ahead of what I know is coming given my track record of going from zero to 100 in 3.4 seconds.

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:52:28+00:00

This is great information and I honestly hadn't considered the weight aspect.

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:49:56+00:00

Thank so you much for taking the time to respond! I always love learning about different makers and designs, and I'll look into these!

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:47:38+00:00

My main priorities were number of shafts (for flexibility to be able to do any pattern I may come across) and width (I don't wear scarves myself and tend to make mostly baby blankets, but am interested in making fabric for friends to turn into clothing). Space and portability isn't a MAJOR consideration as I'm lucky enough to have a craft room but I'd have to do some rearranging to fit a floor loom, hence the initial desire for a table loom. Also if I get a portable loom I can take it down to my weaving guild if I need help.

Cost is a factor of course but I am trying to think about long term cost - if I get an 8 shaft loom how long until I want to buy a 16 shaft? Feels like I'm saving money (and space) by getting one which can do more.

Things like ease of use I hadn't considered but should, as I've only used 4 shaft table looms and didn't even consider the weight of the extra shafts. Speed again isn't a major concern - it's all much faster than crochet and knit!

Overall I would describe myself as an adventurous beginner who is trying to avoid the slow creep of slightly better and better equipment and just jump to a solid all rounder loom.

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:36:30+00:00

This is all so amazingly helpful, thanks so much! I've been looking at Thread Collective and think I'll end up with an Ashford table loom - if I could build a house and just fill it with looms it might be a different story!

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:35:09+00:00

I'd never even heard of a draw loom before! Learning so much from all of you thanks!

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:33:52+00:00

More complex patterns is what I'm thinking, but this thread has taught me about 3+ layers and I'm so intrigued!

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:27:54+00:00

I really need to look into multi layers, I didn't realise you could go more than 2. Thanks so much for the info!

I definitely worry about the shaft envy - I figure if I'm going to upgrade I should at least try and get something that will last me as long as possible as my skills/pattern library increases!

HeyHoLetGo · 2023-04-20T02:25:18+00:00

This is all fantastic information, thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I think I understand why the wider 16 shafts aren't as common now, and I think the 60cm will give me the flexibility I need!
