Has anyone made it yet? I am wondering how its adjusted for the thickness of your materials.
Presuming you mean this: Leather Stitching Pony – Glowforge Shop
Based on this picture it can certainly do close to 1/2" at its max.
Unless you mean the material you’re making it out of - and in that case it’s designed for thick draftboard which is (approx) 1/4" or 6mm
Thanks for pointing out it’s there! I hadn’t seen that one yet

Thanks…
Hummm thats strange b/c the cut that is shown here is the new Stylish Arches Bag made of leather and stitching ponys are generally used for stitching leather and its definitely not 1/4" or 1/2" thick and would slip right down… I am not sure what kind of project made of wood you would use this for?
i think she misunderstood what your question was.
i can’t really see what the mechanism is to clamp down on the leather from the photos either. generally, a stitching pony has a clamp mechanism of some kind. mine has a bolt that you tighten.

Exactly… I figured as much… I have a stitching pony I got from Tandy and its like you say it tightens with a bolt. This would have been great for my classes… it takes one board easy to assemble and a helluva a lot cheaper than purchasing one… However its pointless if I can’t tighten it for the materials…
i’m sure there’s a mechanism, it’s just not obvious from the photos. there’s a place where it connects, the photos just don’t show how that works.

There is a lever to clamp both sides together.

Is that piece I?
From the instructions, the clamping lever is on a hinge and looks like this.

This - 1/2" max, practically 0" at minimum. The clamp is on the side, and if you look at the assembly instructions it’s very clear.

Came here while wondering what a stitching pony was, leather or otherwise.
Thanks for the information, folks. Always a good day when you learn something.
