How to Set Up The Ricks Beading Loom

This video from The Potomac Bead Company is part 1 in a two-part video, showing you how to get started with a bead loom. The Ricks beading looms by BeadSmith allow you to only use 2 warp threads, and make the entire setup process much faster. You can use nearly any kind of bead (small gemstones, seed beads, delicas, crystals, Czech glass), and quickly make incredible pieces of jewelry. Enjoy bead weaving with the loom!

I have never needed to use my fingernail to separate the peg.....if you pull the thread taunt over the end of the peg and pull down, it slides right in very easily by itself...lol....you made this much harder than it need be....

Want to take your project off Paul Rich Loom will Potomac Beading company in video #2 will show you how to do that. I could tell you but better to see for your self.

What do you do if the pegs are too loose? (Golf tee looking ones) They dont stay in their holes

[@Potomacbeadco]

You could try giving them a little tap with a small hammer or something similar. The pegs are tapered so they should hold eventually.
