Shaving Horse Designs
Pat B:
This is my shaving horse. I think the design came from PA years ago. I used saw horse leg bracket so I can break it down somewhat to transport. The horse is made with dimensional pine lumber and the knucklehead is oak. It has a central post with blocks added to each side. This allows me to work from one side or the other. The pivot for the knuckle head is a large bolt and the jaw opening is adjustable if needed for larger staves. I also added a screen door spring to keep the jaws open until I step on the peddle. Pat

Pat, you are such a redneck. Nice bungee cord. Actually Pat I do like your get up. It don't look as portable as Bobs, but I just about built one like it. Justin

Looks like Pat's pup is getting ready to attack that "Vachose Snake " on the floor there :). I'm liking these benches - i really have to build one for myself, as i have no place for a vice on a work bench set up. One of those "horses" I could store in my "car port", if I used salt treated wood as suggested in one magazine
Auggie:
Hey, if you put on a good sealant Thompsons water or a deck sealer even lumber from Lowes will last out in the elements. At least my old horse has.
