Well ... still experimenting with various things.
Main one at moment is rigginig up a shaving horse, similar to the one in the video:

.
It was even easier that I thought it would be.
I found a suitable piece of wood for the 'seat' in the part of the garage reserved for 'things that might come in useful one day' (that would be the whole of the garage then), used a piece of scrap as the 'stop', held it in place with two clamps and put two nails in it to act as a stop when sawing wood.
When I am happy with general positioning I might go all professional and fix the scrap wood to the seat with some screws.
I didn't have two tree trunks like the American guy so I used two old tripod seats on which to rest the plank.
It looks like this:
I rigged it up and used it this afternoon for my next bit of fan carving.
The key thing is that it made removal of wood much, much easier even though I was still using a Mora. This type of saw horse is clearly little use for advanced work on things like chair legs but for the stuff I am doing it is brilliant and takes up no extra space when not in use (as all the separate bits were in the garage anyway, and they are still separate).
At the moment the only change I would make is to put the two nails further apart - they are only an inch apart at the moment (about same as in the video I think) but the piece of wood you are sawing moves around when doing the actual sawing. So about 4 - 5 inches would probably be about right.
As forewarned - this is becoming a bit addictive. Previously when I have been in this position ie developing a strong interest in something - work always got in the way. Now I am retired it will be interesting to see how this one goes ......
