This is three pages of this subject now, and it's been going on too long - you'll have to clamp down on it!

I agree, I'm starting to lose my grip. 

@Klara"I have never felt any need to somehow fasten the needles to the stitching pony"  .

I just use myself as a pin cushion, I stick the needles  into my T shirt , ...I may feel a bit of a prick ...nothing new.

Hi all! I also made a stitching pony with a used kitchen cabinet hinge and  cam-lock hardware. My jaws are lined with thin leather. I am experimenting where to put the magnets for my needles...thus the taped down magnets under the white duct tape. It is designed to clamp onto a bench or sit in a chair under one of my legs. 

 

I have no clue on attaching pictures...but I resized them. In the back of one of the pic's you will see a inverted driftwood tree root bird house I'm making..."never slow down, never go old." Joe

Down and dirty, not too pretty, but this is not woodworker.net

I know this is off - topic, but I can't think of any other way of fitting it in

I once stayed at a B&B where the owner did wood carving. He found driftwood and similar rough & natural timber and branches, and used the bends & bumps of the wood to carve faces & figures that blended in with the natural shape of the timber

They could be realistic and serious, or trending towards fantasy and abstract. The pieces ranged from small branches & pieces that would fit onto a shelf, to larger freestanding pieces that would almost fill a hallway, for example, and all sorts of carvings, big and small, all over the timber; the more you looked, the more you found.
