Not Your Average Shave Horse: Knock Down Steel and Cedar Workhorse 

Those little breaks where you stop to explain your thoughts about the situation are super informative. It’s a little like being there with you as you work it out. Nice job!

I know someone who can carry a miniature donkey but you're the first to carry a horse. And what a lovely horse it is! It's really cool to see the process of how you figured out all the different parts. And it all folds up! Magic.

How did you call it? Can't be in the desert riding a horse with no name. It never ends well.

Now that is something else 😮 I'm gonna have to watch that again without kids shouting is that the pirate 🤣

It's like that old adage: You can carry a horse to water, but you're gonna need to help it shave. Excellent design Brett, that really came out great! :)

Even if I have no interest in the project, I still watch your videos - always well done and I still learn something each time. Thanks for sharing.

That's one good looking horse! It's nice how you stop and explain different things and share your thought process

Brilliant as usual. The O'Reilly reference was great.

Even after I saw you pick it up I had to watch you do it again to believe it! Well done sir!

This morning I saw a man set his horse on fire, octagonalize it's jaw, fold it into a flat plank, and then carry it away with one hand. The Internet's a crazy place, just crazy I tell ya.

"We'll do it live!" Had to think about that for a second and then it hit me.....like a fruit train. Now I remember when I heard that. Brilliant

There were several steps where I just could not see how it was going to work, and then when it did my brain broke a little. Loved every second of it.

Actually this is one of the best most innovative builds I've seen on RU-vid.. Love how you problem solve on the fly.. Bloody good job brett

Ingenious idea. Very well and beautifully executed.

Yay!!! Brett video! Very clever and dig the "out loud" thought process.

I was sold at the "we'll do it live" quote. Someone must be a Stern fan!

I can't really describe how much I love this video... ... so I won't.

Perfect, I'm really enjoying the talky parts, brief but informative!

Now that is a clever solution. Never seen one that can fold up and be carried like that. Thanks for sharing!

A Shaving Horse is a different color!!! Cool design!

I liked your old stuff, but I am enjoying your new format immensely. Keep up the good work!

That's sick! More BRETT McAFEE!!!

thing of beauty sir

Uh...plans please! Awesome Job Brett...gotta watch it a few more times to get all the info. Need to make one of these!

This type of workbench has been very popular lately. Or at least I keep seeing videos for these types of workbenches. This is by far the coolest one that I have seen! Awesome!

Beautiful results! The quick commentary on the tricky parts is really helpful to follow along in the real-time problem solving.

Nice work! I really love the burned wood; it gives the piece a lot of character.

Damn Brett you’ve done it again! Jimmy taught you well and you listened just as well because you’re figuring out of mechanisms is pretty damn clever. I’ve often thought about building a horse but never thought of a portable one like this...impressive.

That is some Grade A problem solving. I love the asides explaining your thought process.

Outstanding! I love the on-the-fly building and fabricating. Great job!!

Love it! I really like building in that way. Adjusting to material, ergonomics, etc. keep up the good work!

Brett ! I love the new direction of your channel! No longer in the shadow of Jimmy! Keep the great content! Thank you for sharing!

Nice. But I can't help thinking Star Wars Speeder bike.

I like that idea of "designing in space". Much better than sitting there trying to draw up 2d plans.

Very nice work! Love the finishing touches.

Such a beautiful thing! Bravo, sir.

I’m really loving these talkie videos. Figure it out as you go.

love your problem solving skills

Love the knock down aspect 👍👍👍👍 looks great as well

That is straight up a badass build!

I really would like one; however, my homeowners association has a zero tolerance for horses. We’re still in litigation over my saw horses.... Nice job there Captain. Kinda like making your own sandwich. It has the basics like meat and bread, but condiments, toppings and how you cut it makes it your own.

Awesome work Brett, great design! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻

Awesome Build Brett!

Great job, love the contrast between the finished and the burned wood. And it truly was like magic when you folded it up!

Great work and great execution Brett!!

Loving these builds, great show of ingenuity

Nice and beefy, love the new editing. THANK YOU !

Very nice Brett. Great explanation. Good to see you back at it! Giddeyup!

Fantastic saw horse! Love it!

Wohwoh! That horse. Nice build.

You actually did it. The absolute madman. A great improvement over the plywood one.

Fantastic all around. Digging the thought processes as you go. I might not plan on building that exact same horse but walking us through is going to pay off to each and every one of us as we build. 💪🏼🐞🔥🖤

Watch the whole video waiting for a "giddy up" or "ye-ha" and nothing, total missed opportunity. Haha Great video always love your style.

Excellent engineering brother! THAT, my friend, will serve you well.

Argh! Captain, the evolution of your format and edits are amazing! I love the new format and your builds are evolving in such an incredible way! You are literally one of the few makers out there who is carrying a narrative in a way that is just as good standalone, as it is part of your longer story. Keep on sailing and god speed!

I used to comment on how your videos kept raising the bar each time they came out. Now you've got a new bar! I really like the "old style," but I really like your new style as well. Solid project, solid video, and solid editing in my opinion. I like where this is going!

Great work Brett!

Ridin, my shave horse...solid, bro!

Sweet design. Very impressive.

Great video love how portable it is

Nice one, Brett! Nothing like engineering on the fly! Billy

That’s awesome I love the design of it nice job good sir 👊🏽

Well done sir!

Great job, Brett. I love how different people create different shaving horses depending on their individual needs. I’m working on one too. With any luck, there’ll be a video of its creation.

Nicely done. Love the sound effects 😆

Sweet build

Lovely job pal, nice one.

great video i love the design of the horse

Well I’ll be! That’s one fancy horse.

That's one good looking horse there Captn' Excellent work sir. I will definitely have to watch this one a time or two more to ... ahem... "borrow" a few ideas.

This is all good and well, you are a talented and ingenious man but I came here for the pirate in you and that "savy" made my day. I'd like more of those please. :)

Great looking horse. Perfect background music. While I don’t think I will ever need a shave horse, everything you did to build it are useful skills. Inventive use of HD buckets.

Top Notch Sir!!

Holy cow (holy horse?) dude! That is cool! Making me want to upgrade mine!

That came out awesome Brett, well done! +1

Hooyah, great build mate.

I'm a pirate, on a steel/wood horse I ride, in space! Much love bother!

Nice film. Awesome engineering. You're like a magician! : ) Mahalo for sharing! : )

Hey Brett. Ross Karasiewicz here. I'm a residential builder, blacksmith, honey bee rescue and a small engine service and repair professional. I own four business'. I know quality when I see it. I also see potential for improvement. I noticed you had a slight problem keeping your workpiece solid while shaving. It's a simple fix. Your clamping surface is directly on top of each other. If you move the moving portion (top) back about three inches, it will hold your workpiece more solid and give you additional room to shave. Take care my friend and keep up the good work.

that is one fine horsy

Good job Brett. Hope all is well for you.

Solid work 💪

“We’ll do it live!” Had me laughing over the next lines

Clever design

Great build Cap. I have been throwing around a few ideas myself. Would make carving larger pieces so much easier. Quality build love it. 🖤👍

Outstanding

Waaau brett!! Its so cool job!!! Congrats bro!!! I really love it!!!💪🏼💪🏼🖤⚒🔥

When the day comes to bring the horse to the slaughterhouse, this makes it all that easier... Great vid and good format Brett. Fun to see you winging it and pull through with no sweats.

Fantastic job!! love when you stop and say what your next step is, it really explains a lot about why your doing what your doing. 'WE'LL DO IT LIVE!' LMAO😂😂😂.

What a tease! I wanted to see the hammer get fixed too.

The last comment made me literally lol. 😁 Loved the "savy" and "do it live" asides, and it wouldn't be a S&S build without the charred finish! Must be interesting to go from Jimmy's "Tool Mecca" to Ben's "I build with 3 tools on the floor" style... Love to hear you discuss that on a podcast sometime.

That's a mean looking shave horse! Might have been on the fly design...but sometimes they are the best ones.👍😁

A truly fine horse. Also, I'm back.. well, I'm making videos again. The new machine is on the floor... but it works!

I have totally no use for it, but my man, that is one awesome build!

Nice videos! New technic with more explaining! ME LIKE !

Cool! Would have liked to see it in use holding a couple of different sized things, but I did enjoy the build.

Love it ❤

Dang that was nice!

We’ll do it live!! Lol 😂 Well Done!

Dame, you out did yourself!!!!!what a fantastic job with a full functional, beautiful, and totally neat shave horse. BRAVO. One question: when can I get a set of plans from you???? Thanks so much for your creative video.
