DH fiddled with several options for covers for the temple rollers. His motivation increased significantly just before we left for the holidays, because in the process of grabbing for a diving shuttle, I managed to scrape some serious gashes on my right hand. Ouch. (Of course, that isn't what I actually said; and there were a lot of verbal exclamation points on the end of the exclamation. Plus copious quantities of antibiotic ointment and a bandage on the hand.)
After experimenting with the PVC pipe idea, he settled on this simple, elegant design:
An extra-large, see-through pill bottle, with the bottom and about a third of the cylinder intact, plus a hole drilled in the bottom that fits over the bolt holding the temple roller in place.
Works like a charm. How nice to have such a handy guy around the house!

Prettiest loom fix I have ever seen! The amber color is a nice touch, too. Congrats to the ultra-cool inventor.
Nothing like bleeding for your craft. :(
Hope you heal well and great fix for the loom.
Cheers,
Laura
Nifty fix!

What a great loom fix...and what a great DH! Wish I had one...both the DH and the temple :) Do you know if such a temple would work on a regular floor loom like a Colonial (LeClerc)?
Cheers
