Shave horse

(1/3) > >>

Russ:
Hey guys, long time no post! Life’s been busy with school and stuff. Anyways, I’m trying to build a shave horse, and I was wondering if anyone’s got dimensions and plans for one that they’d be willing to share?

Pat B:
Welcome back, Russell.  I'll take a pic of the one I built in a little while and try to explain my process building it.

GlisGlis:
Hey Russel
I do not have plans as I did it from scraps and quickly.
I show you pictures tough as this shaving horse (half horse..) ended being very useful and may give you some ideas
The first requisite was it had to occupy very little space so I made it only 5''  in width
I' ve cut back on hind legs as I use a chair and i made it with as many detachable parts as i could.
This leave me with a basic L structure that can be easily stored in very little space.
It has some small flaws but on the whole it works (pretty light and not immovable)
I've used for bow making and spoon carving, also as attachment frame for loom weaving.

Russ:
That’s a nice shave horse, I wouldn’t have guess you threw it together with some scrap, the explanation does help a lot, I think I might be able to pull this off.

Thanks pat, id appreciate that

Pat B:
Sorry, but I forgot I gave my bow horse away a few years ago. I use a Stave Master now.
 I used an 10' 2x10 cut across at 6" so I have a 6" and 4" pieces . The 6' piece is the seat/base  and the 4" is the slanted piece that the knucklehead with foot peddle was attached. The legs I used an 8' 2x4 and plastic saw horse brackets to attach the four 2' legs.
Sorry, I don't have any pics. I do think there are how to's on YouTube.
