A Shave Horse from One Log

In this episode I take a walk into the past. We examine how using a simple 6' log and yield an invaluable homestead tool called a shave horse. A shave horse is a foot operated vise that is used to hold lumber in place so the user can carve it using a drawknife or spokeshave. This practice was common on the frontier and homesteads up until the early 1900's.
Enjoy!

Your a remarkable guy! My son and I made an English style this fall so We know it’s harder then it looks to build one. Thank you.

@robertjeffery3237 5 лет назад

Love this video, Dan. Please grind away the steel that has mushroomed passed the edge of that splitting edge. From personal experience, they will break away and lodge in hands, arms, legs and eyes.

@swnorcraft7971 5 лет назад

Amen! I would have mentioned the same.

@Rainaman- 4 года назад

Yeah, had one sharp edge/flake just poke thru glove and at first it didn't register that my palm is bleeding.

@simeonreigle2940 4 года назад

I'd even suggest to use wooden mauls for some of the wedge work to limit mushrooming. The wedges are less effective that way. My brother used a 16 lb sledge on one my dad had and that wedge was almost useless it was out of shape so bad.

@AP-ss7lt 4 года назад

i got a nice scar on my belly precisely because of this.

@banger355tw 5 лет назад

I enjoyed your video. I made my shaving horse about twenty years ago and have used it a lot. As a matter of fact my back to legs have since broken off. I just place the stump that I rive and ax hew and trim with under the back at the seat end. Works great!

@Jason-xq5xx Год назад

Fun fact after watching a few of you videos i started at your first video and am determined to watch all the way to presemt.

@perrybourlet8871 4 года назад

Great vid. Love the hand tool tutorials. I made a few of these in the past. Started with four legs but found three work better and stand most anywhere. Two in back, one in front. Give the foot lever enough room up front. Just a suggestion.

@mittenstatebushcraft6381 5 лет назад

Excellent!

@shangguanscott1210 5 лет назад

May I suggest that you make the footplate about a foot longer. It would allow you to keep your legs in a much more comfortable position, as well as give you more pressure on the piece of wood that you are working on. It will also allow you to open and close the jaws easier and with more control. I used one of these for decades.

@outdoordauber 5 лет назад

Interesting felling technique...I think traditionally the notch was chopped out and the backcut was sawn. I need to re-haft and resharpen my adze...

@jeffgrumley8230 5 лет назад

I liked his baby hatchet LOL

@AtEboli 4 года назад

That was very cool to see. I want to build one of these for my dad to use. Splitting that log into a more or less plank for the bench was really impressive. I didn't know it was possible to get a log to split that cleanly. Sure saves a lot of time with the hatchet or adze. Well done!

@johnmartin9643 5 лет назад

Amazing ! Great video ! Might I suggest you grind off the ragged edges of your metal wedges. I was in a shop one time & the mechanic was pounding on a punch w/ragged edges and a piece flew off & became embedded in his cheek. Merry Xmas !!
