Awesome work there @Rossr.  You are definitely a type A personality.  I've had mine for years and keep thinking every time I sit on it that I need to make a cushion.  It still needs one.  You sit on yours and 10 minutes later you have a cushion made, lol!

Thanks Yin.  Lol guilty type A here for sure. Course it did take me forever to get around to building the pony itself

So I decided to lace a knife sheath tonight. I chose round braid.  I found the ability to pivot the clamp to be nice.  Didnt need it much but a few times it made an area easier to see and work on,  the spring so far keep enough tension on it so it only pivots when I move it. 

Also I am real glad i added the cushion i sat for a long time lacing and it was comfy.

Wow, it looks nearly to good to use, nearly.

I hope this inspires others to build their own Stitching Pony. It does not need to be as good as your, so long as it works, that is all that matters.

Very kind Bert Thank you.

 

I couldnt agree more about making things that work.  Did I get fancy yes I did cause it made me happy. But function is way more important in my opinion on something like this, it's a tool first and must function so we can make things.
