   Mike,

   I looked it up for you and unfortunately there's no article on making one (nor plans), but it was featured on the back cover. That was issue 39, March/April 1983. The maker was Edwards Studios in El Rito, CA and the design was by Jack Edwards.

   Hope that helps.

   Tim

   Making Furniture Masterpieces: 30 Projects With Measured Drawings
   by Franklin H. Gottshall is a great book and a paperback version is still in print.  It seems like the last chapter has a loom that he made for a friend.  I hope it's what you're looking for.

   I have a book published in early 70's called The Loom Book.   The front cover blurb says "This is a manual of basic instruction for building a loom.  With the use of this book and some simple tools you can produce a competent, useful four harness, 40-inch floor loom."  The author is Tim Reed.  Publisher is Scribners.  Copyright date is 1973.  I don't know if it is still in publication, but it sounds like exactly what you're looking for.

   Also look at http://www.halfwaytree.com/looms/ for links to loom-building.
