Stitching Holes

[Mike from OK]

Mike,
Can you get access to a couple of barrel staves and maybe put that draw knife to them?

Wooden barrels are little tough to come by here. But I'll look around. And though I don't own a bandsaw, I may have access to one that I can probably use.

I think that I am probably going to purchase one of the pony's that has a swivel and tilt capability and attach it to a small table. It does seem to be a lot more convenient to be able to use both hands instead of holding it with one and working with the other.

My little one has a base that slips under one of my legs while I'm sitting in a chair... But get a comfy chair, mine is an old hard wooden chair and my tailbone goes to sleep. Lol

The old fashioned style like the one Harry Rogers made (in the video I shared) rests on the floor and you hold it up between your knees, hands free for sewing.

I picked this up at an antique shop for $40. Use it to do stitching and it works great. Foot lever to engage a bracket to tighten jaws and frees both hands to work

There's a good thread on stitching back on page 70. Responses were a little different in 2010.

Ive always just used an awl and sit on the couch or porch and stitch.  I did recently get a punch set because of a hand injury but still mainly stick with the awl.
