You tube videos that show a demonstration done in England in 2011

I found these on You Tube -

Her loom is warped with three heddle bars with looks to be a diamond twill.  You can also clearly see how she has used packs of cards on either side to add a selvage edge to the fabric.

In the second video you can really see how important the pin beater is to scallop the weft up - especially in a wide and more complex pattern like she is weaving...

Parking these here so I can watch them a few more times :)
