Members robs456 Posted December 7, 2011 Author Members Report Posted December 7, 2011 Thats correct. You are talking about the jaws ends, right? But I asked about the cube shaped block right in between of them at the bottom (please see the original pic from the very first post in this thread). The screw which is approx half way between in 80% of cases prevents leather to touch this block. But as I see on that shot, there is square piece of leather covered top of that block. Oh! Sorry. I guess I was a little quick on the draw with that question. I would assume it just another place to rest the leather without it getting mared? I look forward to the Rob's reply. Well, it's there for two reasons, aestethic and protection. When sewing through thick leather I tend to use pliers at times, and when not holding it I just put it on that cube shaped block (for lack of a better name). The leather then helps the pliers to stay in place and protects the wood from chipping when handling the tool. Quote

Members cjowett Posted January 2, 2012 Members Report Posted January 2, 2012 Chuck Burrows Wild Rose Trading Co - Stitching Pony Thanks how deep should one be? I intend to sew saddle skirts it and can't imagine doing the ends since they'll be almost 30 inches apart. Quote
Members gunslinger Posted February 8, 2012 Members Report Posted February 8, 2012 I was thinking of making my own also, once I get a kit, looks nice. Wild Rose Trading Co. has free plans for these on their web {http://www.wrtcleather.com/1-ckd/tutorials/_stitchpony.html}. Very easy to follow one should be able to complete in a afternoon. Quote
