thats a beauty, should get someone to stand behind you clicking coconut halvs together while you work for full effect

A 3 legged shave horse is obviously not to be confused with something else

Lovely lil horse you got there, Seems like a real worker.
I really like that piece, somewhere on my to do list i must add it but where my list is growing out proportions.
Well lets first get my own Drawknife instead of borrowing it all the time XD then we will start pickering about one of those lovely lil pets for in the backyard
Yours sincerely Ruud

I like that a lot, great job. As so many others have said, one is also on my 'to do' list.

Looks great! I would've put the two legs under your so aptly named arris at an angle to give the whole bench a bit more stability though. I'm of to the woods this weekend to build my first bench . Shave horse will have to wait, first i'll have to sort out my drawing knive.

Like the acers.............oh yeah and nice horse......

I've wanted to make one for a while so i'll be copying this design as well......thanks for the pics mate. One question ....the middle pin, does that go through the main part of the horse or does it go through a block underneath ?

Personally I prefer the dumbhead style but thats a good looking horse. They are a pleasure to use.
You might wanna splay those back legs a little more...

Looking good to me, well done on the design.

hi mate, no i augered through the main bench, bit of a pain. if/when they eventually break or wear, i'll maybe just drive a small shaft in from either side to hang the paddles off....yes i like acers


thanks fellas point noted about the legs, it seems stable enough...at the moment, we shall see!

some great designs there guys, so many to choose from eh?
