Hello from Germany. I am 56 and my grandpa who was born 1896 had one just like yours. Unfortunately he died in 1974 and I don't know what happened to it. My 89 y.o. dad says this bench is called a "Schneidbank" (Cuttting bench) but I couldn't find any vids in German. Luckily I found out that it is called a "shaving bench" in english. Out of all the vids of how to make one this is by far the most touching one. It has THE original shape and look. The old fashioned way you've finished it, the smooth, but slightly imperfect surfaces and edges make it look..."warm", like something that is pleasant to touch and run your hands over. (if this makes any sense)
@@pmacc3557 What‘s that got to do with anything in the video, let alone this comment section, or is this your serious attempt to justify Brexit? In this case let me tell you that you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about and that your attempt in gaslighting is rather pathetic. EU isn’t interested in these things.
Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.
Was looking for this exact video yesterday not knowing that it existed. And then today your video pops up by itself. Nicely done already shared this with my son the older one will share with the younger one also so the knowledge can be passed on. God bless you and your family amen and aloha and melakinikimaka
Really nice build. I admit what caught my attention was the name Roy Underhill. I remember watching Roy with my Grandfather when I was a pup. Being from NC granddad wanted to go to the Woodwright shop. Man how I miss those days.
Great job. I used to watch Roy Underhill and how he made furniture out of what was basically firewood. I learn a lot about the nature of wood from Roy. He and Norm Abrams were my woodworking idols.
I still remember watching Roy Underhill on Saturday mornings instead of cartoons,me a my dad would try building everything Roy did. I used a great many ideas Roy in the welding industry,foot vice for grinding materials my favorite.i added a self locking foot vice to drill an grind but the idea came from Roy's program. Great video.
I have the same saw. It's an amazing tool. Once I got use to it, which didn't take long (cuts on the pull rather than the push), I now use it all the time. A lot of times when in the past I would have used a power saw of some sort, I now use this one. There is just a joy in cutting the wood by hand, and if you are careful, it's every bit as accurate or maybe even more so because it produces a cleaner cut. Great project and video by the way. Makes me want to build one!
I can't ad any more on the quality of the video, workmanship of the concept or the detail with which you explain to the viewer what is going on. However, the video itself is very calming, very centering. Wow! Moreso, having read several different articles on how to build one, the ideas behind each facet of the build helps explain the whole process. I can't thank you enough for your effort on this. I look forward to seeing your other videos. Thank you!
I just bought a house last week and in the storage shed was this awkward looking bench. I had never seen anything like it. 2 days later UA-cam suggest your video to watch and your thumb nail had the exact same bench. Fate, I believe so😀. Now I am following. Great video, keep'em comin.
That's a cool build. I love the wood wright shop. Roy has been at it for years. I think you wood (hehe get it) be fit to take over his mantle if he ever retired. Liking what you do. Thank for putting it out here.
That's one of the most flattering comments I have ever got. I love what Roy has done for people like me and I'd be honoured to take on the task of giving people the knowledge to make things for themselves.
Hey Trustin, thanks for the video, nice horse. a friend and i made one in the late 1990s form a river bottom ash, that was a beauty of straight grains no knots. It still has the bark on it. we did split it with wedges, i smoothed and flattened it with a foot adze that i had recently acquired, it and the high saw horse are still prized pieces of old school hard work. thanks fred. i am your newest subscriber.
For smashing a froe, try making a mallet with the striking surface either a knot or the twisty grain near the base of a tree (or both if you're really lucky). I've had good luck with holly... Thanks for the great videos over the years, real source of inspiration!
Made one of these & a spring pole lathe 40 years ago it's weird how this is coming back. I learn this stuff from Roy Underhill & the Foxfire books. I also got my first herbal book called Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss.
Awesome work brother, going to dig in barn this weekend and find some wood and build one with my sons. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
Great Build.. And love your statement about "Sharp" tools.. I had a job at a woodworking/Historical restoration shop. (right out of College for Cabinetmaking) When I was doing my 1st restoration I found that it was hard work using the shop tools so I spent 3 days on sharpening all the chisels and planes in the shop.. And I will tell you I loved my job after that..
Great video with good narrating. I've got this on my list to make but have sat on and used a few others have made.1 thing i can suggest is to make sure the sitting area is plenty wide for your person, it can get uncomfortable if to narrow as well i imagine if to wide. Thanks for sharing Trustin.
Nice horse. Couple of comments on draw knife use. Place the bevel down, this allows you to control the depth of cut. Angle the draw knive at least 30 degrees. This allows a shearing cut which is much smoother than the cut you demonstate in the video which is a scraping cut which takes more effort and doesn't cut as smoothly. Keep up the good work. Enjoyed the video.
I think you just earned yourself a subscriber! I've been a woodworker for many years, but I'm fascinated by carving, and just entering into that. I loved this video! I checked your site to see if you have anything on axe sharpening, and it doesn't appear you do. Can you recommend a video of yours or someone else's? Great work! Thanks.
I don't have a video on it but I suppose I should make one. I'll add that to my list. Can't say anything is coming to mind to recommend. But I'm sure you'll find something. Its not complicated. I use a double sided round puck style stone. Don't over think it. Axes are easy. Knifes are harder.
Great build thank you , iv just finshed my frist build, a bowl lathe, here in centre london in a one bed flat ,next on my list is the shave horse . Thanks again .
Hey Cody, I recently subscribed to your channel. Your love for the craft and material is very clear. Awesome how you start many projects by picking a tree instead of going to Home Depot. Keep up the good work. Regards from Holland.
Liked and subbed to your channel. Very simple and straight forward. This is my upcoming project this fall and I've been watching a few other vids on UA-cam, but yours is the one I'm going with because of the simplicity. Thanks for posting!
Great video; I have just started going through Underhill's extraordinary book and am pondering this project. You clarified a few things I hadn't worked out and made some interesting substitutions. Thanks, really good looking horse.
I freak out when I don’t have a specific tool for something and your over here building horses out of trees with axes. I need to step up my wood game. Lol 😂 Jokes aside, amazing talent you have. Very fun to watch. I’m blown away.
Very nice video! I just finish making an English style shaving horse. I'm looking forward to making a dunderhead style one next using your video as a guide. Cheers!
Great one Trustin! I have always wanted one of these. I just started chainsaw milling maybe I will add it to the list for slabs that I need to cut out.
It's gorgeous! I want to build one of these at some point. I like how beefy you made yours, but the legs seem undersized for all the mass, and I noticed it does wobble around while working. I think I'd remake the legs a bit larger. Thanks for the great video!
yep, that's my plan. I'm going to use the horse to shave nicer legs. However, because it's cedar it's really light. Not as beefy as it looks. Hope new legs gives it more stability.
Thanks for this - nice video, clear explanations. My request is to show alternatives for those of us who don't have chainsaw mills, or prefer to use hand tools instead of skill saw. For example, how would you deal with a twisted log if you split it by hand? Thanks!
Natan Crystal Hand I made a table in a recent video splitting the log with wedges. It’s in my new series video TTTC 05 - table and roasted chicken. You could use the same process.
@@TrustinTimber Thanks, I'll check that one out! I just tried it yesterday and successfully split a fallen big leaf maple on my property... the first step of the bench is now made, with curves and all :)

Anton Chigurh makes perfect sense. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Search for Schnitzbank, Zugbank or Ziehbank.
Can you imagine how many permits would be needed to cut down a tree by hand in EU...

At 73 I can't do all I want anymore but sure enjoy people like you on UA-cam , thank you from shoshone Wyoming and god bless you and yours
Roy Underhill was great! Hadn't seen him in decades. Thanks for bringing back memories.

You went full on Roy ! I feel like a wimp, I used sawd wood for mine. Cool build. Roy Underhill changed my life. The guys a national treasure.

You have a great way of explaining things - simple, clear and very easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time.
Roy thank very much for that video I now understand how a shave horse is made. I’ve seen lots of plans but it is so much better to see one built.

Very systematic and illustrative discussion. Thanks for this video.
Perfekt Tool....
Thanks for giving me Idea for my next Projekt...

I love the dowels instead of sceews/nails. Beautiful job. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. I plan to build a shaving horse to make other tools and furniture. Also a pole lathe is in my future.
making A bow myself. Was needing something to help hold the wood as i use my draw knife. thanks for the video, champ.
Cool, I just made my second bow on this horse this summer
Honestly, I will never make this. However, I will watch this film many times because you, young man, are an Artist :-)
Well that's because you're a fancy lathe guy now but us simple forest folk have a special love for the shaving horse. Glad you like it anyway.
For smashing a froe, try making a mallet with the striking surface either a knot or the twisty grain near the base of a tree (or both if you're really lucky). I've had good luck with holly... Thanks for the great videos over the years, real source of inspiration!
Roy Underhill was the man.
Built one last week out of offcuts I had in the woodstore. Not as good looking as yours, but it works. As you say it is a pleasure to use.
Glad it works!
It's a nice build and well explained for those who want to build one.
thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.

Steven LaRose exactly Work sharp, work smart.
Awesome. Can't wait to make one for working on wood up at our cabin. Thanks for sharing...
enjoy
Like a good book review! Makes me want to revisit his series. Well, time passing does that. Anyway, great explication!
I’m definitely going to make one of these. Great video and I can’t wait to build mine!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great job and terrific presentation.
Good creation of Roy's Shaving Horse. Fred
Trustin just watched your video with my 3 and 6 year old kids and they both answered that they "Enjoyed it" when you said you hoped we had.
Comments like that are why I make these videos. Thanks for sharing that.
Awesome. I love this, out of one log, cool project, great of you to share it. Thanks!
My pleasure!
Roy Underhill is an amazing woodworker.
Oh man, 4:09, I appreciate that labour. Even with a good saw ripping that thick that far is not an easy job.
It's really never as bad as it appears it will be. Take more mental strength than anything:)
Nice!! It's crazy how different Canadian Cedar looks. It's so light! The Eastern Red Cedar here in Virginia is almost Purple.
Came right out of my back yard.
It's eastern white I do believe.
absolutely beautiful. Well done sir.
Thank you.
Great job! I am making one soon.
Have fun!
Nice Video. I enjoyed it very much. Greetings from Germany.
I will make me one but I will use some old growth Douglas fir timbers for mine. keep up the good work.
Great video with good narrating. I've got this on my list to make but have sat on and used a few others have made.1 thing i can suggest is to make sure the sitting area is plenty wide for your person, it can get uncomfortable if to narrow as well i imagine if to wide. Thanks for sharing Trustin.

Man! that's a good horse and a great video, I love that Cedar too, it looks so clean!
Yeah, Cedar is the best for this becuase it's still really light.
I intend to build Roy's tool tote but although I'm ok with dovetails the compound dovetails required look like they will be a bitch!
Thank you.
Nice work Trustin I really want to build one of these!!
Thank You
Awesome job thanks
Great video, thank you
Looks a great tool and very satisfying to use.
a blast
That cedar is beautiful
Cool project, nicely done :)
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Leroy
Very much enjoyed this
Do you think you could do a video explaining the vanishing point technique a bit more in-depth?
Amazing video as always

Nice one, Trustin!
Thanks Sean
fantastic video!!
