Sona Report post Posted January 23, 2014 Yay, looks nice and should do the job. But how do you intend to clamp the leather between the jaws? I think you´d need sth like a long screw or some clamps at least. In addition I hope the angle of the jaws is enough for you to work. I´d prefere a higher angle so I got more room for hands while stitchig. But all in all I like it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stewart Report post Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Looks sweet. I seen your measuring marks at he base. You do need to have a little spacing between the legs. So the leg with the hinge can rock back. Leather on the clamping pads. On mine the I put the bolt too high up. It restricted the opening. I dropped it further down.
