AKA pony clamp, stitching clam, saddler's clamp (large) etc. Done my google
search, found some links. Anybody got pictures of "nice" ones they've
built, though? My sister is looking for one for mostly small leather work.
Don't care if the plan is pay or free. Didn't find a leather working
newsgroup, or I'd be posting there too.
Examples:

FYI, doing a search for leather and clamp comes up with many "interesting"
links...

Huh? You posted two plans links. Something wrong with them? You
didn't say. But here's one you can buy.

Tandy Leather sells a cheap one, probably not the design you're looking for
but you may consider buying one for it's hardware and then making your own
clamp. Do a search for a "stitching pony"

I've been carving and stitching leather for a number of years Clint. If you
want to email me privately I can send you a few picture of some of the
project I've made.

There's nothing wrong with them as such, but they were fairly basic and
plain. Since I'm looking to make something for a Christmas present, I was
looking to jazz it up a little. I've got a stash of rosewood that's been
looking for a project... I appreciate the one you posted, it gives another
idea or two, and he was nice enough to post the dimensions. :)
Since I'm not a leather worker, it's hard to say what works, and what
doesn't. I could make one from either of the plans that I posted, but
whether they were good designs or not is anyone's guess. Well, besides the
person who originally created the pages, and perhaps other people who had
used the plans. Just looking for input. I'll try the Yahoo groups, but
I've avoided joining most of those, just cause I never found anything there
that seemed valuable enough to give them my personal information. I was
surprised not to find a leatherworking newsgroup. At least, my ISP didn't
carry one. Nearest match had the words "fetish" and "leather" in it. Now,
those folks might know a lot about clamps, and maybe even stiches, but I
really don't want to go there!

I'm not sure what they've got on leather working, but when I looked
using leather, got a heap of hits. I'm a member of a number of them,
because quite a few you can't search without being a member. Been
awhile, and I don't really recall, but they sure don't have much
personal info on me, other than a handle and my e-mail address. I've
checked no e-mail on all of the groups, and not gotten any spam from
belonging. Gotten info off them, I haven't been able to track down
anywhere else.
