Just Finished My Stitching Horse

Thank You Very Much for the compliments. I am going to take the advise and see where it goes for me.

I am only an occasional leather worker but I have never had the thread catch on the cam lock nut that I used on the stitching pony which I built. It seemed less likely to cause such problems than the wing nut option.

Very nice! I especially like the cam lever. I struggled with a knob until I swapped it for a Rockler cam lever. Quick and smooth operation and it does not catch the thread.

One thought along the lines of using your pony for smaller items. You would be better able to grasp smaller items if the angles on the tip of the jaws were sharper. Also, thinner leather would conform better to the sharper jaws, allowing your to get in closer to those pesky small items.

Thanks for sharing,
