Members KWosnig Posted December 28, 2015 Members Report Posted December 28, 2015 I use a heavy duty vise, jaws capped with leather to hold my stuff. I do not have the space for a stitching pony. If cost is a factor or space, find a vise from a hobby shop and attach it to a table and cover the jaws with leather. Just my two cents. Quote

Hint: cut the curved ends square, cut in front of the bindings, and you got a stitching pony.

Members rickdroid Posted December 31, 2015 Members Report Posted December 31, 2015 There was some guy that makes a really really nice one, I had his info, but they were reall expensive. I have the weaver one, but the jaws are jus ok, Sheridan has a "screw to your bench" stitching pony that I use all the time and love! Perfect for quick repairs! That guy was Daniel Offerman. I got one of his stitching horses and am pleased with it. There are a couple of modifications that I am going to suggest to him but it is a very well made item. He has a video on youtube if anyone wants to see his work. rick Quote
