Members Southtexas Posted July 17, 2011 Members Report Posted July 17, 2011 I took the design from The Art of Hand Sewing Leather but I didn't have a 'standard' chair available. I left those front legs off, and simply screwed the whole thing to the bottom of the seat on one of my bar stools. Works better than I imagined. There are stitching ponies, stitching horses... with the long legs this is my Stitching High Horse. Quote
King's X Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Looks like you adapted it to your needs quite well! Quote
Members Journey Leather Posted October 21, 2011 Members Report Posted October 21, 2011 A friend of the family has made me a stitching horse, same design, was wondering where to get the 'spring' and the other 'gadget' in your pic made of metal with 'teeth' looks like a heavy saw. Is this something you had custom made or is it something that is used for something else but adapted for this purpose? Thanks, Journey Leather Quote

Thanks, Journey Leather I've got a few of the "combs" and the bent piece that go on one. PM or email me. Quote
Members prc77ro Posted March 28, 2013 Members Report Posted March 28, 2013 I built mine out of the same AS book, I just made a wider back support for legs used the same angles and added a support between the two blocks. You should be able to pick up the springs at a HD or Lowes or any other hardware store, and the locking plate I used a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, drill press and mill/bastard file to cut the teeth.
