Swedish Spoon Lap Vise is where you out your strap through holes on a piece of wood 1 x 6 x 12 or whatever suits your needs between one knee and your heel you pull the spoon to the plank. Because the plank shields your leg you can use a gouge/mallet to make your bowl as well as draw while mobile. Alternatively you can put it in your lap and use the rope around both feet.
Looking around for a Swedish Lap Vise style alternative to a full shaving horse, but for shaping legs etc. with a draw knife. The key seems to be having a triangulated support; for the traditional version it is the plank for one side of a triangle and then the feet for the last point, and for your version it is a 3-point leg-heel-chest. For my application, I also need resistance against pulling everything towards my body as I pull the drawknife.
Great idea.. Spoons are so hard to hold sometimes, and if you are holding it in your hand,it is a little too close to the knife blade sometimes. Thank you for the video, Billie Joe
If you have the string around your heel it raises and lowers with your leg, therefore you can't increase/decrease tension. With it around your front foot you can use the ankle leverage to increase or decrease tension. Just an idea to improve your great design. Plans??
great looking tool sir, i have used something similar, just a lap sized square of wood 1in thick with 2 or 4 holes in the centrer a few inchs apart with cord looped through and down to your feet, yours has a certain " crossbow " vibe going on, perhaps you could call it a " spoon balista " lol.
Needs some tweakin' but I don't care what you call it... I call it genius!!!! That's a great idea Bill. Especially when it comes to the sanding part!!!!!!!👍🏼

Dude, thatbis actually pretty clever. I have been looking for a new way to hold spoons. This is a great idea for that.
Nice one Billy!! Thumbs up!

That's a really cool tool! Love that it helps you support the spoon while you're carving, and it does seem safer!
If you make it ill buy it. Call it "THE SPOON BILLY". That's a Billy nice invention...

very true , this idea could help with the finishing and holding spoon carvings.
thanks for stopping by, give it a go ..

Needs some tweakin' but I don't care what you call it... I call it genius!!!! That's a great idea Bill. Especially when it comes to the sanding part!!!!!!!👍🏼

Great video! How about The Spoon Bow. Simple but catchy
thanks , i really like these little projects ..
i love the idea and way not just call it a spoon bow
spoon bow sounds good to justin , a easy idea that needs a little mods to be a good vise for carving ..
..bill
maybe have the string going under both heels would help
i will try both heels , good advice ..
Really important to hold something like that somehow. "Spoon Carving Jig" maybe.
thanks mark, just a idea i had and seems to work well.

I think you need to move your stop block piece closer to the leather strap a couple inches to stop all that flopping around of the spoon.
CALL IT A LAP VICE
i like it ,, thanks
Insted of spoon mule.... call it the spoon Billy....
Yep that's it....
And you can make them to sell, and I'm dead serious!!!
Named after its inventor the Billy bow
i like it bud , the billy bow .just a idea that needs some improvement
