Members Sledzep01 Posted January 5, 2018 Members Report Posted January 5, 2018 So I have a bunch of wood. I just made a stitching clam (Pics below, not great but it will work) I already have wood cut for another and enough to make at least 4 more kike it. I also want to make 4 (1 for me) stand up clams also. Literally standing on the floor 4ft tall out of 2x6x8 cedar boards. Free wood, a saw, a drill, and router to you... Help for me. I even have a few hinges if you are not particular. Win Win I am tired of drilling an screwing everything to my table to hold it still. Anyone up for a Pony Party? You bring the bolts & HW, I used a 5 and 6 inch in these pics. Here is a thread with ideas I had, and here is what I made. PM me or respond here. No staining involved this way we are done in 1 day. http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/78885-time-to-replace-the-shetland-ponyfoal/ Quote Remember, Whether you think you can, or think you can't.

bikermutt07 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Posted January 6, 2018 Those should work good for you. You may want to glue a little triangle right below the bolt. It will keep the thread from snagging on it. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Grrr, cant remember... too lazy to look it up. Let's call it a Tom Jones rivet? you know where it is like a knob that gets screwed on and the leather hole snaps over it... Like a Chicago Screw. Searching now and still cannot find the name. Whew, I know it's seconds there but 10 minutes later here.... Sam Browne Studs...! BUT Thank you for the idea, I had thought of my idea and then forgot it.... Boy thats ugly, watching someone think out loud on a forum...But thats me Sled here is the finished top... anyone want to stop by and build one??
