mike6642 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I decide to try leather working so after reading alot of post and getting alot of info , I got this old wood laying around the house and made this stitch pony in about no more than 2 hours with gig saw and drill. I am about to practice some sewing. yeah and I use a drill to attach the wood, sorry I left the bolt out when I took the picture Edited February 13, 2013 by mike6642 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike6642 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 I had to adjust the bottom piece of wood because the jaws were to tight but yeah I was surprised how easy it was to make once you put your mind to it, thanks for the comment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatbob1945 Report post Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) I'm needing one and have some old wood laying around. This looks like a good example---thanks! I'm thinking that a hole drilled through both uprights with a couple of washers and a toggle bolt would help hold the work in place and not mark the leather as long as you don't overtighten. Good job! Edited September 17, 2014 by fatbob1945 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverwingit Report post Posted October 18, 2014 I'd round those corners of the cross piece off some. They'd pinch and/or cut into my legs as is. The corners and surfaces of the uprights are quite rough as well. Methinks they would catch on and potentially damage and hence weaken your thread as you stitch. When you stitch a long run, you have a lot of thread to manage and smooth surfaces on your pony are your friend. Otherwise, your new horse will serve you well for a long time to come. Nice goin'!
