Shave Horse

[crosslandkelly]

Seeing as I have some time on my hands, I thought I would make a shave horse, something I had been meaning to make for some time.
Using some old CLS studding ofcuts from the mancave build. 52" long and 19" to the seat height, the seat is adjustable. I've got this far today. Tomorrow I'll do the pivot

Looking good. I have been considering making one for myself, so I’ll be watching this one.

Definitely looking tidier than my 'greenwood' version
Although, it does work; I've been using it quite a lot over the last few days!

I built mine in CLS using Mike Abbots plans. It works very well.

I saw that when I was looking for ideas, mine will be a mashup of a few designs.

Looking great! My horse is made from softwood CLS, and it does make moving it around an easier task, as it is considerably lighter than the hardwood one that I used to have.
