Thank you. It works well for me. I like yours too. I have not made the "key" yet as you have. I just use the wrench. We live in the woods and have lots of oak, hickory, walnut and maple. hickory is my favorite but the oak was already slabbed. I am making a smaller version for little tasks now. Still think I will sand the slope a tad more though.. thank you for looking and sharing. RainSpirit

I made this stitching pony from 1 inch oak and the swiveling block from walnut. It is 18 inches long at the base by 4 inches wide. It is sloped to slide under me easily in my wheelchair. Hubby cut the boards for me and drilled the holes. I designed and shaped and finished and put together. The jaws are 2 1/2 inches wide by 2 inches thick. the height is 16 iches finished. I covered them in a thin leather and added a magnet on each side to hold my lacing needles. Using a heavy velcro I added the wrench on the left to tighten the swivel and width adjustments, to the right I added a pair of scissors with the velcro as well. I added a third magnet to the base for extra needles I may need. I am going to add a small eye bolt to the right to hold my fid. The pics are in my gallery and this should be the link. Any suggestions will be most welcome. Click link below to see photos. http://leatherworker...lery&user=26875

more pics of the wallet

This is my very first wallet made from scratch.. I am new to leather working and tooling. My sister in law asked me to make her hubby Herman a wallet with a buffalo on it. I was scared to death but I did it. Please feel free to critique and offer any advice.. I also am posting the beginning and the finished. I am going to post the rest of the pics in a follow up. Thanks! Rain Spirit
