Members AustinAl Posted August 8, 2015 Members Report Posted August 8, 2015 I guess no one feels like making one I'm making one this weekend but I'm making mine to last. It will be made of oak and built to last. It will be better than the one from Tandy but that's me and my drive for quality. To be honest, unless you find someone local to you the parts and nominal labor and shipping will add up to more than buying from Tandy. If you happen to be local to Austin then we can talk. Quote
Members Blackey Cole Posted August 10, 2015 Members Report Posted August 10, 2015 Cost isn't the problem it's the quality and usability of the one they have. I have the cheap one and modded it over the years but would love one that you sit on and you foot opens and closes it not a bolt something that uses a strap to the latching mechanism and it latched with your right foot. Plus the clamp can rotate maybe. There's a good pattern in a old public domain boo k for a farmer or ranchers that do their own leather repairs, build all these devices for around the place. Quote
Members Nuttish Posted August 17, 2015 Members Report Posted August 17, 2015 I think that is the most uncomfortable looking stiching pony I've ever seen. It's fine with longer legs and a padded seat. Quote
