Henry and Irene have been living off grid full time since 2005 on a 43 acre off grid homestead in the high desert of Northern Arizona. Situated at 5280′ elevation, we enjoy four seasons of beautiful scenery and weather about 60 miles south of the Grand Canyon.
We grow most of our green beans, peppers, yellow beans, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, squash, garlic, and herbs. Specialty crops like asparagus, sun chokes, and lavender are supplemented by foraged foods including wild ground cherries, prickly pear, and other native plants.
Electricity is made using solar panels and one 400W wind generator. We power our buildings in two groups: Irene's studio by itself, and house infrastructure: house, greenhouse, and workshops.
Thanks for joining us on our continuing journey.
Take care.

Now that is what you call old school right there. Thanks for showing how it was done back in the day. Many youngsters have no clue on any of this! Have a great day you two!
Thanks CB, we love to share! This little bit of history has a lot of uses, but it definitely takes effort. Have a wonderful end to your week.
It does however people and youngsters in the Society of Creative Anachronisms, keep it going. We learn from our elders and enjoy this.
Thank you for showing this loom and you weaving on it. I enjoyed seeing this.
@@catrionahenderson7759 you are most welcome! Take care.
Awesome! It's great people are keeping these old skills alive.
We and a number of folks try 😋 Hope the rain is treating you gently. Take care.
🖐️❤️ Beautifull and Creative .
Thank you! Cheers!
NoSami in Denmark. But in Sweden, Norway and parts of Finland. Cheers
Irene agrees - the woman who was weaving (not either of us) made the comment. Thanks for commenting. When we have some time, we’ll film some of our own historic skills. Take care.
My grandmother in Quebec did her loom with blankets
I inherited the blanket too
It's always awesome to be given something form a relative who used them in a craft! Take care.
Great information. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have always wanted to find one of those to do that myself.. How fun would that be! lots of work.. but in the end it would so be worth it!
MoHomesteading we have several friends who are fiber geeks and use a variety of weaving techniques. The resulting pieces can be quite impressive. Thanks for watching. Take care.
making looms is easy, take an old bed frame, or two long logs, drill em through the top beam must withstand the weight, true vikings are practical and prize cunning wit, if one makes the loom and decides to weave would take extreme devotion to the time and effort, it took me two years to weave one piece,
@@MarenaPetersdorfHerrera True words and wow! I don't doubt that took serious time and devotion. All good and worthwhile things.
wow, that is seriously so impressive! that takes a lot of strength, patience, and skill. this woman is so cool!
It was awesome to watch her work. They were only there for a few days. The erection and removal of the building took literally half of the time they were at Pennsic. Thanks for commenting - sorry no new footage this year. We had some big plans ... Hope to see you next year. Take care.
I was reading about vikings and vertical loom weaving and how nice to see it done
Thanks for commenting. There aren’t many weavers using this type of loom. Glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
This is amazing and creative loom! I'm somewhat of a beginner weaver, just with small frame looms. This weighted version is incredibly interesting! I like how the weave is started at the top, not the bottom. Very neat!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Hope you find other interesting topics here. Take care.
This is so cool. I am very interested in how weighted looks work as these were the kind common to the area I'm most fascinated by. I had an idea this was time consuming work, I had no idea it took so long to make a length of fabric. Now I understand why cloth was so highly prized back then.
Thanks for commenting. Some mss as Muslims skills are surprisingly slow even if you are very skilled. Some like Viking whip cording is surprisingly fast. Take care.
You have a beautifully carved loom there!
I love watching weavers manipulate the warp and wefts to create some really amazing patterns!
Thanks for watching! The loom was set up across from where we were camped and the owner was gracious enough to allow us to watch and film what she was doing. We have a quite a number of "hobby" skills that we practice. Unfortunately this loom is not one of ours ... but we enjoyed seeing it for the few days that they were there. The loom was in a longhouse style building that is a based on a full wooden take-down frame. A full day for them to put it up, one day weaving, and then another day of take down and they left!
That's a very old way of creation. It's very cool to watch....
Hiya! The warp weighted loom is captivating both visually and the rhythmic sound of the weights gently banging together. Thanks for commenting! Take care.
Love it! Thank you! I'm going to switch to the Stick Shuttle and drill holes for it on my beams. That is going to make many things much easier. Gratitude!
Thanks Emily! We enjoy sharing what we’ve doing - and seeing. Have a great day.
I didn’t know what I expected weaving to look like but it certainly wasn’t this. Lovely video
Thanks for commenting! Warp weighted loom weaving show in this show is a very old technique. It sets up quickly and can be moved relatively easily., Take care.
Love this video. I prefer to use the custom attachments on my big loom which allows me to weight my warp rather than winding it onto the warp beam.
And you do have a rather large loom! Thanks for commenting. Hope all is well at your place. Take care.
I thought I recognized you. I was the tent coordinator when Gulf-Naldo happened. I am glad that you recovered and went on weaving.
Hi Juliet, they were our across the street neighbors at Pennsic. They graciously allow us to film a little of them working. Irene and I run The Treasury on the Street of Gold at Pennsic. Irene (Baroness Mistress Eirny Thorvaldsdottir) taught several years until we stopped attending GW a few years after gulf-Nadia. Thanks for commenting. Take care.
Thank you so much for sharing this old school skill.
Rob
Glad you found it interesting. We can both weave (we are at different skill levels for fabric) and Irene can spin thread using a spindle whorl. Sadly neither of has enough time to do this most of the time 😫 Have a great day.
I would love to build my own loom of that style. Suggestions? Any additional information would be appreciated. 😁
Also, do you weave in your weft ends after the piece is removed from the loom?
Love the sound. I can imagine it in an otherwise quiet place. Magical!
Sometimes you just can't beat the old ways.
We just loved watching the weaving process with the warp weights clacking as they are moved. Thanks for commenting.
Very interesting! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Colder temps on their way to us. Fortuntely we'll see low thirtie4s when this freeze is over. Take care.
Loved watching how this is done. Fascinating!
It is a captivating process. Watching an artisan who is skilled can become almost hypnotic. Thanks for commenting. Take care.
Thank you so much for this video. WWW had always fascinated me.
Glad you enjoyed it. I found her comments about her experiences using a bobbin shuttle to be interesting - you may have different results. We completed midnight madness at 1am eastern time. Irene’s still sleeping 😋👍 Have a great day!
Love it. So interesting
We were fortunate to be camped less than 100’ away. They were very gracious to allow us to film. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
I am confused about the past tense. The Sami are still there. Always have been.
We were lucky to film this artisan. Our text comment was intended to inform those who were not aware of the Sami. Yes, they still exist! Thanks for your comment.
About 3:10 . I'd like to point out that Sámi people very much still exist and that their land - Sápmi - is in the north of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. There's probably Sámi people in Denmark just like there could be Sámi people in the US. But the old Sámi way of living (nomadic reindeer herding) is not practised there.
This was not intended as an academic comment, but rather as general information for your average viewer who has never heard of Sámi. They definitely do still exist. I actually remember the medical concerns for the reindeer herders when Chernobyl happened. Lichen absorb the radiation and the reindeer eat the lichen. The people that they showed were dressed as Sámi. A lot of folks think everyone in Scandinavia is a Viking, we try to fix those misconceptions whenever we can. Thanks for commenting!
I think I saw this kind of weaving in the game Medieval Dynasty
It is possible. There are a couple of style of looms that are similar. I keep promising myself that I will get around to making one one of these days. I do know how to weave the starting band. Fun stuff! Thanks for commenting.
@@BrainStormAcres Maybe you should start small then work your way up, I started by getting a loopdeloom
How do i make one of those or can i find a link to one?
Just google “warp weighted loom”. Several articles with instructions and plans will come up. Most people just make their own. The looms are not hard to make if you understand weaving! Thanks for commenting and have a great week!
Very difficult method otherwise it could be so easy
Thanks for commenting. Artisans who routinely do this work become very proficient and fast!
I love this video a lot, but Papyrus is a notoriously terrible font. Its hard to read, visually unappealing, and just gross overall. You didn't really do anything wrong, just use Times New Roman next time.
They put useless huge text boxes over what you want to see. Horrible! Down vote.
We have very limited footage of the warp weighted loom in operation. We had less than an hour when se was demonstrating it right before they broke it down to go to their next event. Let us know what you were wanting to see and we’ll look for some footage that might show that detail - keep in mind lighting conditions were poor at best.
