Gawd knows how he got it through H&S but he's managed to start running a small commercial loom operation

Up here in Scotland the busybodies would shut you down in a heartbeat

Weaving modern cloth with Victorian looms

I saw something similar on Mull a few years ago

That's a cheap shot at H&S. All Harris tweed is produced on treadle looms like that shown, or don't the Outer Hebrides count as Scotland anymore?

Some of the museum mills such as Quarry Bank produce cloth on a semi-commercial basis – with appropriate guarding to stop the 5 year old mill hands being minced.

cheers,

Rod
