Members badger Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Posted January 26, 2009 I've taken an interest in hand-stitching of late, but realised today that I don't have enough hands....... Do any of my friends on the board know where I can find a nice wooden stitching horse or clamp in the UK? Preferably used? I apologise if this is in the wrong place, I didn't really know where to put it. Cheers, Karl Quote
King's X Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Badger: I have one, a Tandy model that I do not use anymore. You can have it, just send me your addy and you will get it. Let's say were even, brother! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~ Quote
Members badger Posted January 26, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 26, 2009 That's very nice of you, thank you! Cheers, Karl Quote
King's X Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 It will be on the way this week. Check your PM's. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas Quote
rcsaddles Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 IMHO this is what it should be like in this world. People helping each other when they can. Not to make money from friends but helping because they care. I just got done reading the "Please Donate" thread and as soon as I get my next project done and paid for it, I will send in whatever I can after I tithe on it. Somewhere this world got off on the wrong track with the obsession with money and sueing people over something stupid. :soapbox: I'm done now. Thanks for listening to my ranting. Joe Quote

Members ChuckBurrows Posted January 28, 2009 Members Report Posted January 28, 2009 Another option (for other folks) is to make your own - actually quite easy - here's a how-to I wrote up for making a simple pony - a horse is a bit more complicated and there is a pattern for one in Stohlman's book "The Art of Hand Stitching Leather" http://www.wrtcleather.com/1-ckd/tutorials/_stitchpony.html Quote
Members badger Posted January 30, 2009 Author Members Report Posted January 30, 2009 Thank you Chuck! I just finished watching your holster making DVD. I highly recommend these to anyone interested in making gunleather of the Old West. My head is spinning! You make it look so easy...... Karl Quote
