A Shave Horse from One Log
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 дек 2018
- 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!

Love this video. Im an engineer and this is is beautiful. This is what our country was founded on.
Thanks, will attempt next week.
Heartfelt appreciation for creation and upload.
Again thanks,
from Cornwall.
(next to England.)
Now this is what youtube is all about in my book. Watch people make things and proud of there accomplishments. Thumbs Up. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice Work Looks better than one u can buy in a store 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent vid, good to see another Maine hunting shoe wearer
Best one I have ever seen.!
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.
Amen! I would have mentioned the same.
Yeah, had one sharp edge/flake just poke thru glove and at first it didn't register that my palm is bleeding.
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.
i got a nice scar on my belly precisely because of this.
True!
Great job nice !!
As soon as I've made a froe I'm onto the maul and gluts then this 👍
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.
Dude that kicks ass.
Superb shaving horse. Nicely build without industrial lumber.
How many times do I have to come back and thumbs up this awesome video??
This is the third time !
RUclips stop 🛑 being so lame
Look at the cute little hatchet- love it.
Love the video Dan, so relaxing watching the build, absolutely love the music! Really chilled out.
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.
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.
Thank you.
excellent work my friend. invaluable in the woods.
That was excellent. Very masterfully done! Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate this!
Awesome vid! Simple is always elegant. Thanks for video
Awesome! I have some rock hard old telephone poles in the yard and want to make a shave horse and a carving bench from them. Possibly a pole lathe too. Projects, projects...always another project waiting! 😃👍
Nice build. I did bookmark it for future referance. Happy Holidays to you, your family, Dan and everyone else who has been watching this video.
Красавчик мужик всё в ручную изготовил
YES! now THAT is CoalCracker Bushcraft! Thank you Dan.
Very nice video Dan, thank you for sharing.
Awesome build brother and something to be proud of!
Great video, Dan!
Now to finish that canoe paddle for this springs canoeing season. Fun project.
This is awesome dude! Excellent craftmanship!
Dude, this is awesome...you 've got gold in your hands ;)
Awesome video. Wanted to make a shave horse for a long time. Great job
Great Build, Pap would be so proud of you
Great job! That looked like a ton of work
Cool video format with the music playing as you worked...I like it.
I really enjoyed this video, Dan!
Dan, that was a cool video and build. Season's Greetings to you and your family and Dan. Marry Christmas to every one!
Awesome job on the horse, loving these style vids 🐻👍🏼
Great job ! Beautiful work
Awesome video Dan! I want to do this too. Great build!
Great build, Dan. Now if I can only find a source for a drawknife and spokeshave. Oh, and learn to sharpen them. I will have to show my wife your video so she knows what I mean by shavehorse.
Holy crap, Dan! I love all your videos, but this one is by far my favorite. Love the music and style of the video. Great one!!
very well done !!!! besides the shave horse you got yourself alot of tinder for starting fires from all the shavings and off cuts from the project
great job, Thanks for sharing
great job!
Once again another awsome video.
Great job. Very helpful.
So much character. I love it
Great job !
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.
Had to comment in the middle.
Dan ive been watching ya a long time now and gotta say that this vid is sofar the best you put on the "Tube"..the soundtrack just somehow fit.
Well done
Nice job!
Awesome video
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!
Simply beautiful
Fantastic video really enjoyed it thank you
Great video Dan. Thanks and take care. Merry Christmas.
Good video, thanks. Job well done!
That's a great shave horse!
inspirational,thanks for sharing

Very cool. I am going to make one.
Great tutorial, Dan! Dick Proenneke is giving a thumbs up for sure!
Yo the mini axe is awesome!!!! Your work in All your videos is great, I'm glad I've found your channel.
Good build Dan
So cool missed your videos
Nice video, thanks for sharing
Excellent!
Great job with the shave horse Dan. 😊 Hope ya'll are enjoying the beautiful weather. It's been nice here in SW North Dakota too. ☀️🌬
Nice work
I’ve always wanted to try making one of these. I’ll need more tools haha
Impressive as hell!!
3:56 music syncs to the work. That was awesome!
Nicely done. I need to get a set of gouges.
Very nice horse..beautiful legs. Good work
Damn, SIR that was perfect 👍🏻👍🏻
Cool!!
Real handy for u!!
Cool video
Top job....👍
KCB/ UK 🇬🇧
excellent
Greetings, good video. Thanks for the share. pax,
Wow brother! Amazing build sir. Great music choice too. Merry Christmas!
Good video! Makes me want to make another bow!
Well done 👍🏻👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎
Nice!
I was thinking about using my draw knife!
Nice looking horse. I usually use a crotch to make the dumb head. A lot less work. I also do my best to do a 3 legged bench using another crotch for the legs. Like a giant slingshot with the "handle" fitted into the bench. I am probably not describing it well but anyone who has spent time watching The Woodright's Shop on PBS has probably seen the episodes that covers the genuine versions of the colonial shaving horses that go back to Germany.
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...
Pretty snifty pal ! Yessir 🙂
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 !!
Maybe he ain't got grinder
6:55 TINY AXE! so cute :3
AYellowPepper I want one. Where on earth did he get that.
Good build and great video. Thanks for posting it. Now I’m eyeballing an ideal tree on my back property line.
Man, right on time!
Nice
muy pero ke muy practico. esto es para gente sin recursos como yo. lo voy a hacer.
More videos like this one!
Exactly like Roy Underhill build for his book, the Woodwrights shop.
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!
DAN THIS VIDEO BROUGHT BACK FOND MEMORIES OF BACK WHEN I WAS IN MY PRIME. YOU SHOULD HAVE ADDED SOME VERBAGE OF HOW THIS WAS A NO SWEAT TASK. HA! IT TAKES VERY HARD WORK TO MAKE ONE USING OLD SCHOOL TOOLS . WHEN I BUILT MINE I EVEN HAD A FOOT ADZE AND A BROARD AXE TO SMOOTH THINGS OUT A BIT. I COMMEND YOU ON YOUR HARD WORK AND MAKING A EXCELLENT VIDEO.
Great video! When you were making the legs of the horse, I thouhgt you could do with a shave horse to make them … ;)
