You can go HERE and get it! Hope it helps!!That helps a bunch and thanks for the link sir.

Members mulepackin Posted January 18, 2009 Members Report Posted January 18, 2009 Google "farm woodwork stitching horse"There's a google book for this. See page 99. I have found this Google book, and can view the images. I can down load, but when I go to open the PDF file, I get a "file broken cannot be repaired" message. If any one has it that can open it and would like to forward it to me I would sure appreciate it. Thanks. Quote

Members JamesR Posted March 9, 2010 Members Report Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) DEADEYE, I made this one a while ago. It uses the threaded rod from an old Jorgenson woodworking clamp. The rod has an acme thread so it tightens and loosens with only a turn or two. It holds the work very securely. I lined the jaws with hard adhesive backed felt (it was a hunch) It works very well, holds the leather and does not damage it's surface. Sorry I do not have any plans as I kind of built it as I went along. Jim Edited March 9, 2010 by JamesR Quote

That's awesome, I was thinking that my small apartment can't fit any one of these things and hanging onto the work while sewing doesn't work so well, so I was figuring of just padding a wood clamp.

Members Kate Posted March 22, 2010 Members Report Posted March 22, 2010 Hey Deadeye, if there's ONE thing that all of those stitching horses need, it's to have the ground seat shaved down on the edges of seat! Even the thickest chunk of sheepskin won't soften those edges, and I can guarantee (from past experience) that it's not gonna be too comfy after a long session. I do kinda like the second photo - the legs are set into the braces, nice woodworking to last a good long while. Kate Quote KATE'S CUSTOM GUNLEATHER and KATE'S CUSTOM BRIDLEWORKS Sultan, WA USA

I also going to divy out butt cheek recesses and cover the sitting area with 1" closed cell foam and a nice piece of leather. Back rests will be an option too. DEADEYE, I made this one a while ago.
