The David III is an 8 shaft loom that is available in 70, 90cm and 110 cm weaving width.  It has a simple compact form, yet surpasses all expectations in function and quality.  With each treadle tie-up, the shed has the characteristics of a counter march loom: An ingenious spring system pulls those shafts upward, that are not pulled down by the treadle.  The spring system also makes the treadles easy to operate and when you sit behind a David for the first time, it is a remarkable experience: you expect to use more effort to depress a treadle.  If you have started to depress a treadle on the David, however, no additional effort is needed to keep the shed open due to the built-in cam system.
