DJole Report post Posted September 17, 2017 Got this in Seoul, capital of South Korea, a few days ago while on a tour. Cost: 28,000 won (about 28 US dollars). Hardwood (birch or maple), sanded but untreated. Uses a cam lock (red lever on the right, with wooden triangle to help reduce thread catching on the lever, I think) Cam can be adjusted by a screw on the opposite side of the lever. Jaws clamp to board with wingnut; hole in middle of the board and on the end. There were 3 other types of stitching clamps available; one was made with laminated wood, and the other was twice as long as this, going from the floor (I guess floor mounted?) I need to l line the jaws with thin leather before I start any stitching, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WoodysWorkshop Report post Posted September 18, 2017 I've been looking at these on Ebay, I've got some stitching and lacing to do soon. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wood-Horse-Leather-Craft-Desktop-Stitching-Sewing-Table-Pony-Clamp-DIY-Tool-FEDS-/162658662384?hash=item25df3637f0:g:zcwAAOSw1blZoBpV Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cradom Report post Posted September 18, 2017 Here's one I built last year. Nothing fancy but I can sit in my desk chair without being hunched over. It's 31in high, the jaws are about 5in wide. https://photos.app.goo.gl/c1LLbIgOBWbA4GRs1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy to put one in with a drill, of course! 58 minutes ago, cradom said: Here's one I built last year. Nothing fancy but I can sit in my desk chair without being hunched over.

bikermutt07 Report post Posted September 19, 2017 I have that one. Mine is made of beech. The cam didn't last long. The bracket that holds the cam to the base bent pretty fast. I am planning to rebuild the whole thing. Nice materials, but the execution was lacking. Hope yours is better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
