Ruthanne designed these plans for making your own warping board.
This board will hold a 16 yard warp.
(Eliminate the posts with the X and it will hold a 14 yard warp)
. 4 – 1×4 red oak boards – 4 ft. long
4 – 1″ hardwood dowels – 3 ft long
8 – 1 1/4″ wood screws
wood glue
polyurethane varnish – Satin finish Frame
Oak Boards

2@ 26″
Posts
Hardwood Dowels
4 @ 6 3/4″ (marked A)

Holes for the posts are drilled through the frame posts
(We had to grind down a 1″ spade bit to fit the dowels)
Boards are overlapped with the short boards in front
Glued and screwed together from the back
with countersunk wood screws

and glued into place
Everything is sanded and given one cote of Satin Polyurethane varnish.
