Well i thought i would reinvent the wheel...LOL
this is the lazy pony i have been toying with this idea for some years but never found time to get around to build it,
i got the idea from stitching loops on the belt but no matter how you try and place the belt in the stitching horse its always interfiering with the tension spring in the middle, and each stitch you have to flip the belt to the left and then the right so this is what ive come up with,
its a pony/ horse clamp on its side with the jaws upright and a sky hook in stalled so i can pull the belt upward to stop the fliping from left to right and the belt hangs straight down, its very basic as its sunday and had to use what i had at home (stores arnt open)  ive tried it out and found it better than my expensive horse, its compact and removable and easy to store away when its not needed, Don

That's great, Don. It really looks like it would be a good pony for the job. Another good idea comes out of this group. Thanks for posting the photos.

I'm lazier than that. I just measure everything and prepunch all the holes in the belt with a tandy 4 tined punch  and also in the loop leather and then just sit down and sew it all together while I watch a western. It's not like the cartridges change size all the time, they are pretty standard. Easier to keep straight on the belt also.
