- A shave horse is a traditional foot operated clamping device used mainly in green woodworking. Here I make on using minimal tools and 2x4 construction grade wood.

Thx a LOT. I see lots of other styles of shave horses, but this one is immediately buildable w stuff in my shop. I hadn't heard of Abbott before. Thanks for opening my eyes.
that was a great build video,thank you for sharing all the best to you and yours
Many thanks! and to you.
Really turned out well, looks like joy to use.
They are indeed :)
Looks great.
Inspiring, thank you for putting it on you tube, I've just bought Mike's book and guess what I'm doing next weekend...
Just built this. Switched in pressure treated 2x6. cut all the angles at 22.5 degrees but otherwise the same. Once you figure out which ones need to be cut (the legs, both sides, the front end of the top and base) it's actually easier to build. Thanks bunches for this video.
No glue means you can fix or change the design at your whim. I like it!
I dont need a shave horse and have nowhere to store one but by gum I want to make one now
realmente de PARABéNS! perfeito design & perfeita execução - isto são as felicitações de um colega de 81 anos...
nice job, that looks sweet.
Thanks for watching
Fantastic build gentlemen. I'm currently making a shave horse for my own use. I wish I had seen this vid before I started. I'm subscribing- keep up the good work. Flaxen Saxon.
@ᴛᴀᴘ ᴍᴇ ᴀɴᴅ sᴇᴇ Victoria You are very naughty, but gorgeous. Flaxen Saxon.
I like how yours is sturdy. I was wondering what that seat was about. Thanks for showing the function.
An awesome design
good stuff. like your projects. see you made 2, your helpers payment!
Yea, I had a friend up for a visit and we got stuck in together. He wanted one too so why not :)
Good video and enjoyed it .
That seat just makes me oc
Very nice, Thank you for sharing!
Please stop the broken record music
I wood have predrilled the screw holes lol I've seen this b4 and I liked it 👍
For those of you looking for measurements Mike has put them up on his blog, goingwiththegrain.org/the-lumber-horse/
Brilliant!
Glad you liked it :)
OMG. I was wondering why you built your seat that way good job tho.
Pretty nice. You could have enhanced the strength a lot by gluing the joints before screwing. Do you want to be able to take it apart. And why not trim off the sticking-up triangles of the leg tops. Oh, and why such an awful seat?
Seat acts as a cleaving break, and sticking up parts of the legs as a positive stop for carving or using a sharpening stone. Glues not needed plenty strong with out it but of course you could if you wanted too
@@FrontierlessCraftsman Thanks for responding.
Yeah, the riving break thing is clever, as long as you don't stress the seat boards too much. That's where glue might help. But why is middle board angled? Not that it matters, I guess, but it looks sloppy to me.
I cant' quite visualize how you would use the leg projections as stops. For the front leg, would this be with you standing beside the horse? For the back legs, would this be with you turned around on the seat?
Middle board is angled to allow different size pieces to be split with a froe. The front protrusion was left for no particular reason 😉
@@FrontierlessCraftsman Thanks for the info.
Makes me want to build one....Thank you !!! Nice job !!!
Thats the idea glad its working :) Thanks for watching
Yes! Why did you make the seat that way with the smaller 2x4 at an angle? Why not just space the 3 boards evenly in a line?
was there a reason to make the middle piece of wood in the seat on an angle ?
Yes its so it could be used as a mini cleaving break which is demonstrated at the end. Cleaving is the process of splitting wood along the grain usuall
y with a tool called a froe. A cleaving break is the device that holds the wood to help you apply pressure in the right direction.
now to get my brother-in-law to make it for me LOL
Make one yourself, just borrow a saw and a drill if you dont have one, its easy :)
Frontierless Craftsman I have the tools just not a lot of time and he loves when I suggest projects
June O'Reilly
Did he make you one?
i dont like the seat but the machine is great
well done :)
Very uncommon design. Bravo
Thanking you
Great build and instructions, but, that music!!!!!!!!!argggg!!!?!!
Thanks for the video. Do you offer a set of plans or at least a listing of the size boards you cut and the angles etc? Thank for helping.
scroll back up this thread to see the link to my blog with all the details you need - although after 4 years, I hope you will have sorted this out :)
Not much good shown us you measuring and not given the measurements.
talk us through it. I want to try making it.
Seen as its not my design but taken straight from Mike Abbotts book, I don't think it would be fair of me to give out all the measurements. But its a straight forward design, easy enough for you to figure out your own as all the steps are clearly shown, if not there's a link to his book where you'll get all the plans for it.
Too complicate , too many big holes in a soft wood
Great idea poor build quality. There is no reason to have the seat like that. Very strange to me.
It's so it can be used as a cleaving break like I showed in the video.
got to be the worst one ive seen and way too much lumber
