    Nice Bret! Skully sized paddle..... keep at it and keep safe. Sinking the wood in a pail of water softens it easily. Great work! I hoard draw knives, often get them at garage sales for little money

    Excellent work! Going through the tools that one would actually use on the shave horse is a game changer - especially that rasp. Keep up the good work Captn!!!

    Lots of good info here. I picked up a Shinto rasp after your suggestion last summer. And those of you who are going to make a shave horse make sure your horse has a nice wide stance. They get a little tippy if the legs are too far inboard. Not that I would know anything about a tipsy horse...

    This is an editing question, I like the look here 7:48 rather than the normal sped up look.
    How does one achieve this sort of stop motion look?

    • @skullandspade
      @skullandspade  4 года назад +1

      I have a few 3rd party plug-ins that help achieve this effect, but it is basically speeding up the footage, and then controlling the “frame rate” so that 2-4 frames play per second, rather than my standard 24fps

    A thought, Lower the hold down crossbar an inch so that when it holds against the base it's not right at the peak and I think you'll get a much more solid hold. Thanks for the video!!

    Hey Friend!! Long time to see!! I recall when you created this masterpiece!!
    My first thoughts when I saw you ‘burn’ the surface areas with a small torch……..WHAT?? Burn something new?? LOL!! But by now I have seen quite a few RUclipsrs do the same. So ALL is forgiven!! LOL!!
    I think you have given me an inspiration to work on my Shaving Horse. My wood of choice is red cedar!!
    Let me see if I can attach some photos after the sawmill slabbed TWO red cedar logs that had been cut from a new friend’s old farm ground!!

Thanks for the reply, I've been taking an interest in various shaving horse designs, getting an idea for what type I want to build myself, I think I want a bench frame which I can connect and remove various head pieces onto so that one bench can be used for a shave horse, a spoon mule, carving table or wood lathe.

    Could you have kept it the same size and filled the hole? Was it just an aesthetic choice? Or you don’t want to use resin and such on something that is used for food and will be in contact with liquid and heat?
