Members seagiant Posted February 10, 2021 Members Report Posted February 10, 2021 Hi, I had some rough cut Alabama Red Oak, and decided to take a board of it and make a real adjustable stitching pony. It will adjust 2 ways and seems to work well. Not really a wood worker but it came out pretty good I think! No plans just looked at pics and went for it! Quote
Members YinTx Posted February 10, 2021 Members Report Posted February 10, 2021 Great work, especially considering you don't do wood work! You'll get some use out of that for sure. (but where did those metal coffee cans come from....) YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo
Members seagiant Posted February 10, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 10, 2021 Hi, Thanks, the cans are probably 25 years old? Quote

Members seagiant Posted February 10, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 10, 2021 Hi, No just finished it. Admittedly it was more work than I thought going in, but? Holds leather well and stays were you set it with the knobs. Hoping if I use it angled forward a little, it will keep the thread from catching on anything. Quote
Members seagiant Posted February 10, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 10, 2021 Hi, Here is a pic of what I was using before. Made it with really no tools, except a hacksaw, using pallet wood. Wanted something better. Quote
Members Mulesaw Posted February 10, 2021 Members Report Posted February 10, 2021 Great looking project. The oak really looks good with a lot of texture and colors. The belt in the picture looks really fine too. Quote
Members Retswerb Posted February 10, 2021 Members Report Posted February 10, 2021 A woodworker is one who works wood, which you have successfully accomplished! Nice looking pony. Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted February 10, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted February 10, 2021 May I suggest you line the jaws with thin leather. It will help grip and prevent the jaws marking the leather project Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members seagiant Posted February 10, 2021 Author Members Report Posted February 10, 2021 Hi, Thanks fella's! I thought about leather on the jaws but, I sandwiched sandpaper between the jaws... And, worked it, so the jaws are fit to each other pretty well, meaning, they hold the leather with equal force. This keeps anything from being marked! I had an old 80"s small Craftsman Router Table to round the edges which helped and a old Craftsman 50's table saw. Not really, state of the art, but solid tools made when we actually produced quality in this Country! I'm going to make a sheath for my head knife to try it out! Quote
