Sizing reed to fit into shuttle loom

I had sized and put in a reed for the construction of denim I was planning on making. After running it for a few yards I found out the reed was too fine and causing weaving issues. This video shows how I modify an existing reed to fit into the lay on the loom. I chose a reed that slightly modifies the cloth construction as the one that kept it the same was already sized for a wider loom I have. Fundamentally what is changing from one reed to another is the dents per inch is decreasing, meaning a bigger gap. To keep the cloth construction the same with the bigger gap you have to put more yarn ends in per dent. Example: I want 50 ends per inch through the reed. If I put 2 ends per dent I would need a 25 dents per inch reed. If I put 4 ends per dent I would need a 12.5 dents per inch reed. With the size of the warp yarn in the loom a 25 dpi reed did not have the space for the yarn to pass each other or allow a knot to go through. Where the 12.5 dpi reed would.
