They're just like that - very European. But I've later seen that there are other stitching clams which can be folded - many of them from the army.<br /><br />By the way I've come across your blog quite a few times because you're quite active on leatherworker. You're very helpful towards other people, which is great. Keep up the good work.Simon Tuntelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116676140002943921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632506707927092289.post-88688266719343356602012-05-21T12:25:19.872+02:002012-05-21T12:25:19.872+02:00Hi Alex, it's fairly easy finding pictures of ...Hi Alex, it's fairly easy finding pictures of a stitching clam being used, however I'll gladly take some pictures, if I can get one of my roommates to take some, when I'm working.Simon Tuntelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04116676140002943921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632506707927092289.post-32797013953216392702012-05-20T22:10:44.621+02:002012-05-20T22:10:44.621+02:00hi simon, it´s hard to imagine how this clam works...hi simon, it´s hard to imagine how this clam works being used, can you show an image?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
