ConradPark Report post Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) I'm looking to buy a stitching horse similar to the one in the picture, new or old doesn't matter as long as the jaws are in good condition. Weavers version is not up to scratch for me. Must be willing to ship to London, UK with tracked USPD or similar. PayPal preferred. Only serious and reasonable offers including the shipping cost, thanks. Edited October 26, 2015 by ConradPark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted October 26, 2015 You might want to check with Serge Volken and his web blog 'Leather Time.' His friend in Sweden (??) by the name of Louis makes a unique horse without the seat. You might want to look at some closer to you. If not, Grandpa's Past Time (internet) makes some unique ponies. I also saw one a couple weeks back on the US eBay sight for $250.00 plus shipping. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConradPark Report post Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks, I always check ebay and I bought some before from the states. Sometimes it can be expensive, sometimes its ok. For the moment there is no one on ebay and I'm actually originally from Sweden but I'm after the model on the picture on behalf of a mate. The last option is to have one made but it's actually not that much cheaper considering the time involved to make one. Any way thanks for the thought. People that actually have a stitching horse to sell, please get in touch by P.M thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted October 27, 2015 I remember my Facebook friend Peter Nettleton from Lincolnshire, UK had one made locally. You might want to check out his FB page to see if he can connect you with the maker. The shipping would be a lot more affordable for you. If I see anything, I will be more than happy to remember you. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ConradPark Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Hi, yes, this is what I'm looking for. Haven't looked at this thread for a while since I never got any real valid replies until now. PM for what you want for it including shipping to London UK. I've bought several things including other stitching horses from the US and a few items from fellow leatherworkers on this forum if you need any references. Anyway, I have looked in to having a UK carpenter to make a new one and trust me, it's better to wait until one comes up here or on ebay. There is one in good shape for around $300 on ebay now but that's way more than I'm willing to pay so if you thought of something in that price range, sorry, I'm not a newbee. However if you want something that's reasonable. PM and we sort it out ASAP, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thunter9 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Good morning,moneys all that. Now if you were to find a set or two more like 2 ? Cast iron vintage,antique cap guns in good shape that work. You might have some thing I might want to trade for. As for the horse the only issue is the peddle on how it attaches has an issue. If we get that far I'll send you some pictures.I'm not sure what shipping will be for something like that.you have a great holiday and see what you can find.

ConradPark Report post Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Maybe I missunderstood the reason why you posted on my thread in the first place, if you're not willing to sell that's fine but I would appreciate if people actually took the time to read what someone is writing as that saves everyones time in the end. Good holidays. For anyone else out there, If you actually have a stitching horse to sell, for a set price including shipping to London UK do PRIVATE MESSAGE to me thanks. I'm after more than one so even if you see this thread at a later date, don't hesitate to contact me. Also, even if it's a nice gesture, I don't need any more advice on how to either build one or have a local carpender to make one. Sometimes you guys just have to take things at face value. I'm after already build/made stitching horses in workable condition that looks like the model I've posted the first time. "New" is fine but I don't mind vintage and slightly tatty old ones either. SO NO MORE TIMEWASTERS, THANKS! Edited December 17, 2015 by ConradPark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thunter9 Report post Posted December 18, 2015 just for the sake i checked on what fed x would charge and it would seem its more than what the horse would sell for sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConradPark Report post Posted August 5, 2016 Bumping this up as I am still looking for stitching horses, but please only contact me if you 1. actually have a stitching horse like the one in the picture for sale. I do not need any advice on how to make one or be convinced that other models work as good, thanks. 2. That you already know how much the shipping cost to London, UK will be and can quote me that straight away. This is mainly to save all of us time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
