Members Mulesaw Posted September 9, 2021 Members Report Posted September 9, 2021 After thinking about building a stitching horse from the old Farm Woodwork book for about half a year, I found the time this home period. I had made the hardware while I was on the ship last time, so there was only the fun woodwork part left. The stitching horse follows the plans according to measurements, but I have made a sturdier frame by substituting the screwed connections for the stretchers with drawbored mortises and tenons. Likewise for the legs which are now taken through the seat and wedged in place. The seat is made out of discoloured beechwood which I think ads a bit character to an otherwise fairly dull wood. The legs and stretchers are made from ash, the clamp is made from elm and the foot operated lever is made from sycamore. Now I just need to come up with a project that will give me an excuse for using the darn thing :-) Quote
