The metal ball joint is a good, solid joint. Much better than any all plywood models I’ve used. The opening mechanism needs refinement. It’s intended to have the moving jaw to “rock” open at a point and set of screws, whereas an actual hinge would benefit the pony a lot. The leather strips don’t cover all the corners and let the wood scratch my leather a bit. Plan on doing some sanding and adding more leather if you buy this. I will be looking into adding a hinge as I mentioned to see if that will help with the operation of the pony.

product was purchase mostly for the hardware. it was cheaper to buy a completed one so that I have the clamps then to buy the clamps separate. the wood is cheap and will work for the time being but in the warmer months when I can get into the shop I will need to rebuild the wood clamp part. the wood is a softer wood and they didn't use any wood in its construction. they used wood screws which I will replace with machinist screws since wood screws tend to snap under tension and there is no washers on the screws to spread out the pressure from the screw so the wood could crack under use.

Just as in the photoAdjustment mechanisems are great, really easy to use and no need to spin bolts for ages for every adustment.

Don’t wast your money on this. The closing mechanism is garbage. It does not allow you to apply tension on the jaws without bending. The jaws are not hinged and instead flex on a screw. The ball mechanism is decent quality. After installing a hinge for the jaws and a bolt with a knob as the closing device it works decent.

The first time I got this, there was a lot of cosmetic damage and a scratch across wood and it couldn't open all the way. I ordered a replacement and the screw that tightens the pony came broken. I want to like this product, but I can't even use it.
