Hello fellow woodworkers, I've been getting some requests to show my shaving horse, so here it is. It's a tool used in combination most commonly with draw knives and spoke shaves, it's basically a foot operated vice. Mine is made from oak with cherry legs.
Let me know if you have any questions. Give the video a thumbs up too if you don't mind. Photos are posted to facebook! www.facebook.c...
Also check out my video for making the log peavey! I have a short and long version.
Thanks for watching, The Homestead Craftsman
The best shaving horse video on RUclips.
david steil Thanks, glad you liked it.
10 years late to this party but love this design, nice work
Excellent video, finally someone who actually tells you the actual dimensions!
Now I know what to do with those old oak planks out in the barn. Many things are doable with some good and sound instruction, which you do a great job in providing, good detail yet let the viewer think for themselves. This is a great family project! Like the taper tool to. Thanks........
i really like that you choose to film outside on many of your videos. you always have such beautiful scenery. Thanks!
VERY WELL Done! Clear speech, always stays on subject. Provided measurements of Every part, as well as, clearly describing how he made it. Good photography, with subject being centered in frame. Good closeups when necessary. Doesn’t “assume” anything explains everything.
Hollywood couldn’t do any better.
Thanks for this and the log peavey video. We are building our new home on 24 wooded acres and I'm looking forward to many hours of homestead projects. Gotta make a log peavey to maneuver the logs that will be generated from clearing (found a serviceable hook in a shed on my property) and therefore I need a shaving horse! I'll make the horse tomorrow with your measurements. I don't have a lathe, so I'll use oak dowels. Thanks again for your videos.
+Tim Walters Good deal, sounds like you've got some fun ahead of you. Feel free to send me some photos of your shaving horse, id like to see what you come up with.
+Tim Walters Thanks for the link, they both look good. I'm sure they will come in handy for the projects you mentioned. Thanks again and good luck with your channel.
this was such a well made video. I truly love the way you explained everything. you gave dimensions, in case any one wanted to make the exact thing but then you followed up by explain why it was that long or if the dimension was relative to another part. perfect. I am subscribing
Very cool design and work. Fantastic explanation! Going to have to try to build something like this...
Great horse. I’ll try that tomorrow
Really very clever fitting, I am impressed by your knowledges of wood adjustment, great video, thank you!
Thank you
fantastic demo. Love the tapper tool.
same here. my son(s) and I are going to make 2!!!come on summer!!!
+Stephen Zevetchin Yall will have fun, making and using them
Well done instructional video. Much appreciated.
Cheers!

Very nice bench and video Thanks for sharing! JOE
Nice job explaining your process!
I´m definitely enjoying. Thanks a million, I´m going to build/make my own incoming summer. Greets from Finland!
+Peik Stenberg Your welcome
Have you ever looked into the low Roman style benches? Seems up your alley
Hi, I ve just found your channel, really enjoyed this informative and practical video, I plan to do one too some time. Mike from the UK.
Very good vid, lots of good info, I will be making one of these shave horses.
Good deal, glad you watched.
The Homestead Craftsman,Sir, can you tell me the measurement in inches of the length of the bench and the length of the slats that press the object to be shaved? God bless you for sharing your very noble competence, thank you
You rock! I subscribed after the first video of yours I watched. Very well done, informative & creative. I can't wait to see what other videos you have made. Thank you for freely sharing such valuable knowledge.
I like it im building one of these and im very much a noob this helped!
Amazing. No more to say....
Robert Šrámek Thanks.
Beatiful.
+knbisvigo Thanks
darn smart desgin!!! love the video
Thanks
nice work
I am going to make one thanks for sharing
What a great video i`v always wanted to build one, thanks for the plans.
jon ellisdon Have at it, I'd like to see a pic of what you come up with if you end up making one.
For anyone who wants to make the tapering tool, an easier way to cut the slot for the blade would be to cut it while the blank is still square. Then glue a scrap piece on the open end and turn the taper. The scrap can be parted off when the turning is done.
love the detail in this video. Good work, you now have a new sub
+J Robitaille Thanks
The reamer is brilliant!
Thanks John, it is a cool tool to make and use.
Phrasing!
Thank you, brilliant video.
Richard Wells Thanks Richard, it's a nice little shave horse to use.
wow. I love this video. Well done sir. :)
Hey!
One thing I was hoping you could share with us is the position of your pivots in relation to your clamp block and wedge block. Or just the location of the holes you drilled on their respective pieces.
Thanks!
Michael Plewman I can try to remember to check, but you'd probably have to remind me. It really doesn't matter though. I just made mine to fit the most common sizes of lumber i'd be working, which is smaller stuff. The only holes that make any difference is the hole through the vertical pieces on other side of the seat. For those, you can just drill a series of holes which would make it easily adjustable. Like 1.5 or 2 inches apart.
The Homestead Craftsman Thanks! Everything worked out in the end. I used a wooden piece made from Douglas Fir that I fabricated in place of your eye bolt and it ended up braking. Besides that everything is working great! Thanks for your patient approach to instruction!
Good, I'd love to see a photo if that's possible. If you don't mind, you can email it to me or send it through facebook. thehomesteadcraftsman@gmail.com or my facebook link is on the homepage of this channel. Glad you got to make the shave horse, you'll have a good time with it.
What is the lenght where the bolt pivot for the clamp location?
Thank you!!!
+BlackSeranna Your welcome
Hi! and thanks for the video but could you explane me what is a " V block "? is it maybe a wedge?
+begonaableful I didn't rewatch the video to see what your talking about, but if I'm guessing right, if I say V block, im referring to a block of wood (piece of a 2x4 with a "v" notched out of it's length. You can clamp it down to a drill press table with the drill bit aligned with the bottom, that way you can drill a hole centered through round stock, like pipe, rod, turnings, etc.......... I think I may have just typed something nothing to due with what your asking, I may have just meant a wedge as you mentioned for adjusting the height of the hinging platform that your piece your working goes on. Well, maybe one of those two answers will get you what you want.
I want to make one for debarking branches
That would work.
Are you using a modern or rustic lathe?
phooesnax It's a modern lathe.........but it's getting a little rustic. It's a 50's Delta Rockwell. With variable speed. It's in some of my videos.
Actually bumped into it in one of the other videos. Nice work and thanks for the reply
How much for you to make one for me
William Zerbe www.greenwoodworking.com/ShavingHorsePlans
Wish I saw this before I made my Bodger's Bench. Mine is built like a tank, but the features you've incorporated are really nice!!
Wonderfully explained and demonstrated.
what are the dementions for where the holes are drilled in the upright and how far back on the bench?
By far the most helpful video I’ve ever viewed. Thorough, clear, easily understood. Thank you for sharing measurements & “how to” description, including your unique methods/tools.
That is a really neat project!! Another great video!!
Different from the others that I've seen, but not so fancy that it isn't utilitarian. Great job and I did subscribe. Looks like this is going to be a valuable channel. Thanks!...............Ross
very informative, very well done.
Im currently building this to your specks but for the life of me I cannot figure out the spacing between the upright swing arm parts. You did not include the spacing in your video. The spacing from the bottom to the foot peg hole. The spacing fro. Your foot peg hole to the bar that goes through the bench itself. The spacing from this to the upper part that is the clamp for the top of the piece your working on. Than the spacing to the very top of the swing arm.
Also how far from the end of bench back towards to the hole that swing arm is attached to the bench?
I got addicted to the Foxfire books in High School and loved reading about lost or almost lost arts. It is so nice to see a younger generation who won't let them die. Thanks!
Melody Capehart Medina Your welcome, I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.
Nice and clever design , great looking and great informative video. Thanks for sharing.
I won’t be making tapered legs in the near future! But thanks anyway! Sounded like a foreign language to this non woodworking gal!
I've been looking for a video as clear as this one. I'm hoping to shape some walking staffs (that might get shepherds' crook tops added) so was hunting for some way to do the staff other than doing a two-piece staff on a lathe. This has been a great help. Thanks.
That tapering tool is cool. Nice shaving horse, I will be making one soon but have not made up my mind on the style. Now I will have to start checking out your other videos now that I have found you channel and subbed.
woodturningjohn A shaving horse will work you pretty good, but a nice tool to have. I don't use it frequently, but when I do need it, it's there.
Excellent instruction but what is the distance of the holes in the clamping arms top to bottom?
Hi!, Where I can find some Shaving Horse Plans? Thanks and Thumbs Up Your videos are Amazing
I am planning on building one of these this summer for some windsor chair making I plan on doing. You have given me some good ideas, I really like your I-bolt design for the hinge of the wedge. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, I keep watching it because I am getting ready to make one. I have started making several wooden utensils and this will be a great piece of equipment to have, I think it will help save my back since everything will be in alignment... Thanks for taking the time to show how you built this. Most importantly thank you for the diagram! It looks much better than my sketching as I watched the video!
Good luck
Very nice take on the shaving horse. The link to the article is dead?
Great tips and well presented. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Mick Bradford
Mick Bradford Hi Mick, thanks. Glad you liked the video.
Fixing to get started. Good ideas. Thanks!
Another good video. I like the idea of the sight lines.
Anything you would do differently now? FYI I enjoy your videos.
+Chance Bralley Not really, maybe ad a seat, I usually sit on a piece of foam.
I made a much more complicated, heavier, and almost impossible to disassemble horse... yours is gorgeous, and as with most of your ideas brilliant in the simplicity
of approach and end result. I will try to duplicate your design.Kudos and many thanks,
While I did build it, it was HEAVILY inspired. www.greenwoodworking.com/ShavingHorsePlans That's the link to the design I used to get me going. I tweaked it a little with the tension knob and turning my legs. There's a cool drawing on there too that you can print to have in the shop with you.
Can't find you att Facebook?
Thank you for the superb presentation. Everything is clearly explained. Thank you for sharing your fine design.
Thank you Sir.🎉
Wow!! I just discovered and watched two of your tutorials, and they are both so crystal clear in detail and instructions. Keep up the excellent work!👍👍👍👍
Your doing and teaching great
I like your video I like your background did you and your family dig that Pond my parents have a pond also that they dug we are homesteaders also to a certain point
I dug the pond by hand, just kidding. It was dug about 90 years ago for watering tobacco by my Great Grandfather. It's small but a great little pond, has surpirsingly big fish in it. And it does make for a nice background for filming! Thanks.
Great vid just what i was looking for, think i'll subscribe
Jason Smith Glad to have you, thanks for watching.
Hello from Australia, great video, fantastic information, Thank you .
Ron Green Hello, glad you liked the video.
Wonderful job!
Thanks for sharing your experience and you passion.
Greetings from North West Italy.

Smashing advice. Just about to make a shaving horse to replace my old decrepit one I made thirty odd years ago. I like your design very much and you explain things very well too. So you just got a new subscriber from the UK. Cheers pal👌
Great video..I would really like to have a Shaving horse it is almost a must for my new hobby of restoring axes and making my own handles..I'm going to have to find one for sale close by where I live because I don't have a lathe...I def want one like this that will come apart so I can store it away to the side when I'm not using it..Man I wish my grandfather was still alive he could help me find one and he probably had one but I was really young when he passed so everything he had as far as tools is gone I have no idea what happened to all of his tools..If I can't find one I may just have to try and make one...Another thing I want to try and make is a saw horse from a tree trunk with a notch cut in it on the top and the legs are branches from a tree..Do you have one or a video on how to make one?? I'd like to have one made from an oak tree about 4-6ft long and about 14-16 inches in diameter..I see them in videos I watch of people carving things from wood..It would be cool to have a couple different size ones.
was a pleasure Learning
Making one of these today! Thank you!
It is a compound splay, now I’m wondering what degree you were using on your t square??
Great stuff. Really helpful to have the instructions with the visuals combined. I dont think i will do the tapering on the main plank though. Cutting and wedging the legs will hopefully do the trick. Thanks
do you set the angle for the legs using the T-Bevel and then use that angle for all the other legs
Yes, you can make them whatever angle you want.
Thanks. Great design and demonstration.
Your welcome Rick, I don't use it every day, but it's always enoyable to work on a shaving horse, thanks for watching.
❤❤❤😂😂😂👏👏👏💪💪💪
Being a carpenter (Not craftsman) and only familiar with the method I trained with and what i discovered myself while working in construction world for years I must say I love your style, methods, design and the attention to little details. I think a whole new world of woodwork is there for me to explore... I need a shaving horse and I like this design... Thank you very much..
Great job mate
found it! This is absolutely gold - already having a shave horse this shouldn't be too much of a deal to build though I got some hewing to do as I do not posses conventional lumber. Can't wait to build this. Thank you!
Way cool - a very great job on everything - thank you for sharing your talents & time - your my kind of ole school - you learned well pilgrim ( you had a pa or gramps that loved ya ) ; your video is a great teaching - anyone can learn from . >> & that pickaroon one - what an awesome job there to - rock on dude - kirk out & have a very blessed & safe day : - )
A very complete and detailed video on the making of your shave-horse. Nicely done and some tips I think I want to incorporate in a folding up version I am thinking of converting mine to. Thanks!
great video
On third viewing, (OK, I am slow) one set of dimensions was missing - where on 26 3/4" clamping mechanism are the 3 holes drilled? Thanks
It doesn't really matter, the part at the bottom is about 3 inches up, the hole at the top is more up to you. I left extra room for extra holes to make it adjustable, but my hole is about 3.5 down. Click this link, it has a diagram of the one that inspired and for the most part exactly what I made. www.greenwoodworking.com/ShavingHorsePlans
I should have seen that - I had printed his diagram - you had given me his link - and should have reviewed that - sorry to bother you on it.
Thanks
No problem, it's a great diagram and nice to see the photos on the site, it's a simple design so you can easily alter it to suit your needs and sizes.
A beautifully built bench clearly demonstrated and explained. Thanks
This is the best explanation of how to make a shave horse and the nicest video/shave horse I have seen. I look forward to making one for myself.
Nice design, well done tutorial on the subject. Thanks for the hard work telling us about it.
Really outstanding video! I've watched quite a few and I really learned a lot and had a good time doing it. Thanks for your effort. Keep up the good work!
great design, would work well for making archery bows, enjoy your video's.
great video I'm just starting out no equipment yet such as froe and draw knife can't find shaving horse.. Where you get cordless microphone . Take care and thank you Salam (peace) ✌
Daniel Morris I got it used off of ebay, it's an audio technica Pro 88w. Then you can use what ever microphone you want. You get the transmitter and reciever, both run off of a 9V. It's an ok set up, not the best but a good basic system.
thank you very much that's great. And I order froe on Thursday think that most beneficial tool for learning basics.. Ok many thanks great videos.
That's not the first tool most beginners would go for, but I approve.
yeah its fine,getting feet 👣 wet anyway so to speak,nothing in life that is worth having ever comes easy. Thank you I found my first birch tree two have fallen they above two to three feet wide ... Bushcraft the bark be my first time to.. Have good day.. Well excited
very informative well explained as a newby I am confident I can build one looking forward to more thanks
Great video. Thank you for making and posting! Happy New Year.
EXCELLENT! DAMN DECENT! KEEP LIVIN' WELL! ALWAYS INFORMATIVE AND ENJOYABLE!
Absolutely the best I have seen. Fascinating and easy to watch. Thank you
Thanks for sharing, that "taper scraper" is very cool
fantastic video on the save horse. was wondering would you ever consider building a traditinal/ medieval wood turnig lathe for bowls and table/chair legs ?
keep up the great work
Spartans Wings 117 Thanks. As a person that has a electric lathe and looking for a second one, I don't thinks so. It would purely be novelty for me and it's a little to big of an item to make without being important to my shop. But I have turned on treadle and spring pole, etc lathes before...... it's fun for a couple minutes. While I won't be doing this idea, I do have some lathe ideas coming up in the future that I think a lot of people will like. Thanks for watching and the comment.
perfect. your videos have given me so many ideas that iv only be able to put into my bucket list design book until iv finished my degree fingers crossed in the next few weeks.
will be attending a tiny house workshop tomorrow in glenealy, county wicklow, Ireland. very difficult to find as the movement hasnt really kicked off here but will be fun to see the what similarities there are..
great work keep it up and hopefully i will get to send pics of my finished items
Spartans Wings 117 Feel free to email photos, I like to include them in my Craftsman's Corner videos on occasion.
