Paring Ladder (shave horse ladder)

For those who don't have a bench vise, a shave horse, a workshop table and shave pony, or whatever, this may be an option for your draw knives. I ran across it today on Youtube. I had never heard of it before.

A neat way to clean up staves, or make kindling!  I think I would want a leather apron working a draw knife that way, though.  Not sure why he worked the rungs that way, though.  A good,  taut lashing jog should be sufficient, unless it is to hold the notch better.

But I do eventually make a shave horse (nothing quite compares) I probably will go with a compact design like this.

I have stripped a lot of bark and sapwood off osage by putting one end of the stave at the base of a tree and the other end on my chest, I would lean forward and go to work with a draw knife. This was green wood right off the stump and cut very easily. I was also much younger and osage cutting crazy at the time.

Interesting! Wouldn't that hurt your chest? When I debark staves I just lean it up against the wall or a fork in the tree, and kneel as I pull down, taking of strips of bark off that way. But this method doesn't allow you to get the very tips as you can't pull down past the ground.

I put a pad on my chest and do the very ends later in a vise.

This was not ring chasing precision work, this was hogging off sapwood and bark quickly when I had a lot of osage to process and get sealed with shellac. I did this draw knifing in the woods next to my yard.   I chose this place because I didn't have to clean up the mountains of bark and shavings I produced like I would had I done the same work in my shop.
