Spoon mule attachment

[Gary Elson]

Hi Everyone
Hope your all well
Not posted for a while - I was hospitalised with Covid 19 got over that and 6 weeks later my appendix burst , back in hospital for emergency surgery- so I’m limited to stuff I can do at home (like most of us I guess) so had a go at making a spoon mule attachment for my shave horse needs a few tweaks but first impressions are good , very Solid grip better than the shave horse just need to crack on with some spoons now !!
Thanks
Gary

I really hope you don't go and prove things come in threes Gary

Iteresting adaptation for the shave horse but I can't work out how it clamps up.

Does it do it when you employ the shave horse clamp pressing it down and and forcing the spoon clamp legs to engage?

Have a show and tell, I can't figure out how that works.

Hi Mesquite
Nowt so clever, the shave horse mechanism has a bolt through it to lock it all off , then you place your feet inside the two nearly vertical arms and press outwards which moves the jaws together with about a 20:1 mechanical advantage so you can put a whole lot of pressure on the work piece or conversely not too much pressure in your feet !

Aha, that makes sense

Hi, Gary,

I'm sorry to hear about your suffering - COVID19 and then a burst appendix: really unpleasant. I hope you are well on the way to a full recovery.

I am interested in your spoon mule attachment and was wondering whether you had some drawings or some photos that show the whole set-up a little more clearly. It's something that I have been trying to work out how to create - as yet, unsuccessfully! I'd be huge appreciative of any help you can give me.

Many thanks in advance!
Richard

Hi, Gary,

That would be great - thank you! Any help in trying to create a spoon mule attachment will be more than gratefully received!
