Members Sona Posted January 23, 2014 Members Report 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
Members papaw Posted January 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2014 Plan to try and get left and right and bolts and have a bushing threaded with left and right hand threads.But for now tee nut and 5/16 all thread with knob, will pick that up today along with a spring.

Members Stewart Posted January 23, 2014 Members Report 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.
