Dumb head Shave horse, learning as I go.

[Man of Tanith]

i may of bitten off more than i can chew with that last post but i'm up for it

 

[Retired Member southey]

That sounds excellent matey! I reckon the only rrule should be no power tools!

 

[Man of Tanith]

i havent any power tools so you are safe there!
cool we'll wait til i have had the book a week or so and go from there shall we

 

[Bundleman]

Looking good, hurry up and finish it!

 

[Retired Member southey]

Hahah sorry! there has been progress, slow, but progress, will get pics after a brew

The auger cuts a very clean hole, it pulls the cutting faces into the wood so you only have to concentrate on turning it and staying straight,

Test fitting the Hazel dowel, MORE YET!

And through,

Next take a scrap of Alder,

And carve a wedge,

then saw off the excess dowel, leaving enough to split with your knife,

Then wedgie you dowel,

One humiliated dowel,

saw it flat by laying you saw flat to the block,

the vice head is coming along,

And this Lime limb will be the legs,

And a gratuitous tool shot to end today, about to get my strop ON!

Many thanks for reading chaps!
