Wicked Welts Report post Posted January 8, 2015 After my intro post this is my start here so I thought to show my first project, a home made portable stitching clamp. I got the hint after seeing several different versions on the forum here so I'm very grateful to all that have shared theirs. As you can see, mine is fairly crude but it seems to do the job just fine and other than the stick-on foam pads I learned about on here, it's made entirely from spare bits I had laying around. Now hopefully I get the photo thing right....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alexitbe Report post Posted January 9, 2015 It so easy to do, there is no point spending 100 dollars on a shop bought one... It is the first thing I have made for my new leather hobby.. Hopefully should start making lomething out of leather sooon.. ALex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked Welts Report post Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks. It was the first thing I made after I realized what a pain it was to repair something small (Zippo Lighter case), then I tried it on something bigger, a sheath and wow, it's a dream. After seeing some on here with the swivel feature I knew i had to go that route from the start, hopefully it will be worth the extra effort. I'm not sure if the drop angle at the top of the jaws is enough, I saw many with much steeper drop off but so far it doesn't seem essential. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
