garypl Posted March 22, 2017 Report Posted March 22, 2017 I used to use a couple of wood clamps to hold my stitching pony to my workbench, but my threads would often catch on the clamps when sewing. I decided to get rid of the clamps and use a cleaner method to hold the pony to my bench. I drilled two 5/16" holes through my bench and pony and installed 1/4 x 20 T nuts under the bench. Went to Lowes and bought a couple of 6" pieces of 1/4 x 20 threaded rod, two knobs threaded with 1/4 x 20 inserts and two fender washers. As you can see from the photos, the pony is firmly held by the two threaded rods and there is much less chance that my threads will get caught on hardware. When I want to have more unobstructed space to spread out leather for cutting, I simply unscrew the two bolts and remove the pony. Quote
