: Loom. 12"

: Blade width 2"

Thanks for the replys it seems that scaling the holst plans and adding 6 inches is what I am going to try. My boy standing with his arm straight up and fingers curled measured 51 inches so. I figure a 57 inch long should work and if it is too. Long I can cut it back. Thanks for the loom thickness.
