Members thesergeant Posted March 8, 2015 Members Report Posted March 8, 2015 Hi Guys, So I've done a few projects now and have realized at this point that a stitching pony is basically mandatory for smaller pieces. I downloaded a couple photos and bought the wood to make one when I realized that I had something that might work. In comes my vintage Zyliss woodworking vise. I simply double stick taped down a couple pieces of leather to some aluminum covers bent to match the profile of the jaws and it quickly converts the vise over for leather duty. Recently handstitched this leather sheath for my Gransfors Bruk Outdoor Axe and it make the process much, much easier. Just thought I'd share incase anyone out there has one or someone is in the market for a stitching pony but would prefer to spend a little more and have a more versatile tool. Quote
Members b2k Posted March 10, 2015 Members Report Posted March 10, 2015 Oh, definitely a nice use for that tool.And a nifty hatchet sheat too! Quote
Members Tempus Posted March 12, 2015 Members Report Posted March 12, 2015 Very nice! I'm converting a smaller vice to use as a pony as well. Quote
