Hello folks
Brand new person here
I have perused this forum and many other sites in search for a sewing machine that would walk on water, I have found many beautiful pieces of equipment, but alas the dollar sign had me go catatonic to many time, so looking at what I had been doing, hand work, I decided to make myself a stitching horse so to help with an extra hand.
It took me three weeks and now it is done, I am a blacksmith from the old country (France), and I could have done all kind of iron work on it, but I challenged my self to do it without a single piece of metal in it.
No screws, no bolts , no nails, no metal hinges, and even the spring was done by soaking a piece of white oak in linseed oil for a few days.
The legs are rhododendron, the seat black walnut, the under cross bars dog wood, and the jaws white oak.
I soon as I figure out how to post pictures, ( I am not the swiftest ), I will do that to show the folks
Thank you, this is a great board
