Ive been using the standard lacing pony from Tandy and its a piece of junk. Falling apart and cant even fit my longer projects in the clampable area. What do you guys use? Where did you get it? Ive seen pictures of old school saddle clamps but cant find one anywhere online.

I was using the Tandy lacing pony and I agree it's crappy. I recently started using Sheridan leather's colt stitcher and it's a major step up, IMHO. It's jaws are wide, thick and well made. Even better it has a wood screw clamp that affixes to any table, which provides better ergonomics than the lacing pony. It's the best $65 I've spent.

I use a "Li'l Dude". I bought it used, but it might originally be from Weaver.

I know some people that love the "sit-n-stitch". http://www.grandpaspastime.com/Pages/SITNSTITCH.aspx

Colt Stitcher arrived and works great.

Looking forward to using it more.

Only complaint is that the knob and bolt get thread wrapped around them often.

I might remove them and make a leather belt to hold the clam shut.

I bought this one at Tandy about 20 years ago....it's simple but by no means junk. I used it daily til I started machine stitching 4 years ago.

I've had to replace(improve) the hardware but other than that, it's held up very well, and it's all I've ever needed to get the job done......but I'm not a saddle maker.post-4803-0-91801700-1389441426_thumb.jp
