Shave Horse - My Three Legged Friend

In this video, I'll show you how to make a wooden shave horse, a traditional woodworking tool that has been used for centuries to shape wood. I'll walk you through the process of building your own wooden shave horse.

Shave horses, also known as shaving horses, are traditional woodworking tools that have been used for centuries. They were first used in Europe during the medieval period and were a common tool for carpenters and other woodworkers. The shave horse was used to hold and shape wooden pieces by clamping them between the horse's jaws and then using a draw knife or other cutting tool to shave down the wood.

The traditional design of a shave horse consisted of a wooden frame with two jaws that could be adjusted to clamp the wood in place. The user would then sit on the frame and use their feet to apply pressure to the jaws, holding the wood securely while they worked on it.

In the 18th and 19th century, with the advent of the steam engine and the Industrial Revolution, shave horses were replaced by more efficient mechanical devices, but they still remained in use among traditional woodworkers and are making a comeback among modern green woodworkers.

I've created plans for this project and I highly encourage anyone interested in woodworking to give it a try! Building your own shave horse is a great way to learn traditional woodworking techniques and gain a deeper understanding of how to shape and bend wood. Plus, you'll end up with a beautiful and functional tool that you can use for years to come. So, if you're ready to dive into the world of woodworking, grab the plans and let's get started!
