Reedy to go

Well I will be 'ready' to go once the reed arrives - all other repairs/fixes and cleaning now done.

I removed any broken or frayed strings from the sectional beam and replaced those bits with the string removed from the front

Broken strings to the left, good ones to the right.

Once the strings were fixed I attached the metal rod that the weaving will be tied to.

Strings attached to rod (and draped over back beam)

With that job out of the way I only had to finish wiping down the wood work with wax and giving it a polish.

Almost ready to go
