Tension Meter -DIY

=================

    I have a friend who does this to measure the evenness of the tension on their warp.

Equipment needed: thumbtack and wooden ruler or wooden yardstick.

o  Push thumbtack into ruler -- on the wider flat side
   (just for example maybe at the 3" mark on a 12" ruler).
o  Slide this contraption in between warp threads --
    hanging the thumbtack on a thread
    (the warp thread will be between the head of the tack and the ruler).

o  The weight of the ruler is consistent and will pull down on the warp --
    you can read where the non-measured warps are resting.
    You can pick out random threads for measuring and compare.
