Thanks for watching guys :) A few details. This was built over a couple of days mainly from a semi green ash log with chestnut arms and green birch for the foot rail (for strength). Its my first Shavehorse and im overall happy with it for the time it took. As I put in the video I need to lash the foot rail after flipping the arms and make a longer board but other than that its working well. Yes, I could have made one from sawn timber but I wanted to do this traditionally to see if I could. It is adjustable with extra peg holes so if and when I do another, ill know better what size to make things :) All the best - Andy

Fantastic video as always! Thanks SO SO much for all the wonderful content. You and Simon have really helped me keep going over the last year. You have both inspired me and after spending a small fortune me and my son are going hot tenting next week. We are so excited. Just bought your badges and Simon's so we can go in style. My wife and daughter may join us next time if we survive 😀

What's the tool called you used to cut the dowl ends on the table legs please ?

[@roberthawthorne6515]

I can only imagine what it was like before the Industrial Age, you’d spend all day on a project or even a month and get very little done compared to today. But the peace and happiness must have been unmeasurable ❤️❤️❤️

[@KentSurvival]

indeed, its very satisfying though :) thanks Robert

[@spfb]

I will say it's a pleasure to watch you build and make things from real wood, (AKA trees). At this point in my life I can't wait to get back to the woods. It is calling heavy on my heart. The Sandy beach is nice but not what I thought. No woods. Thank you for the time you put in to make these videos. As a creator I understand what goes into video making.

[@mariaancoetzee665]

Thank you for being always there to watch. Me and hubby love what you where doing. Motivate us to also do something. Thank you Mr Kent

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks very much :) we all need a little motivation.. making the videos is mine :)

[@TressaZimmerman]

I know it has been a while. But I finally was able to sit still and watch every minutes. Thanks for this.

[@ianslater3965]

Brillant job Andy, cant beat the sound of wood splitting, and wood boring, so peaceful to watch.... well done

[@KentSurvival]

cheers Ian :)

[@jeffreypopp6660]

Love the videos always. Was never one for silent before but every part and step seemed rather intuitive without a lot of need for explanation. Well done!

[@antoanto5301]

Great video, so relaxing to watch, no power tools just hand tools, would love to have the space and tools to make my own, keep making great vids like this!

[@scottmyers226]

Great Job, I love it.

[@Kathy_Is_Blessed]

The old-school tools are the best tools. 😊 Nice job, Andy.

[@andrewforrest8938]

Great video and excellent work o your shave horse well done Andy.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks you Andrew

[@jamesnelson1443]

Wow so very cool!!!

[@peterwall3089]

Well done, always great to see hand tool in use, a lost art. Keep it up.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Peter

[@ivorbiggun4919]

Started with about 10 layers of clothing by the end of the video I was expecting him to be just in his boots 🤣

[@ronnyhuysmans4120]

an other one to check off the bucket list :)

[@brandweerquest]

You make it look like I can do it. But it's 3 days of work you say? You did it! I don't see me do it. But watching is great. So peacefull. Thanks Andy. You made a wise investment in the right tools.

[@well-knownun-known2699]

Love watching your video's. But what I like most about you is that you seem to be a very friendly and humble person. That is important.

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you very much indeed for the kind words :)

[@edward2717]

Man, I like your videos sooo much👍

[@carpenterpilot487]

Nice work! Got to get back to the super bowl game!!

[@KentSurvival]

haha, enjoy

[@claramullen]

Fantastic Andy

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you Clara :D

[@jamieyoung5044]

Loving the new intro Andy, brilliant video

[@KeepItSimpleSurvival]

Wow! I find it interesting how you split the big logs..... Thank You!!!

[@cbb1362]

Fascinating and wonderful stuff. I stepped out of the room to make tea and was instantly listening to the Month Python scene in the Holy Grail when they built the siege rabbit. Great video,as always. Regards from Sandgate.

[@raphaelbiello9095]

so much knowledge gained! lets gooooo!

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks for watching Raphael

[@TinyIslandMaine]

Excellent work and instruction. I have been wanting to attempt this and your video shows what I need to do. Many thanks.

[@Indianarmy-ti6rk]

New intro was best 😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍

[@thefathiker3844]

1:58, me spending the next 3 hours looking for my sheath

[@KentSurvival]

haha, tell me about it

[@ericstoever9577]

I’ll put mine in my pocket and still go searching for it....

[@craiglake6091]

This is so awesome! I had an ancestor that chopped his leg and lost it in the early 1800's. It gives me the willies when I watch someone working wood with axes. Well done mate.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers Craig :)

[@donwalker3949]

it would seem that 36 people would rather be on a cruise ship or holidaying in a seaside resort in Spain. Great video again.

[@scottl8137]

I enjoyed that as much as your cooking videos! A PLUS! THANK YOU

[@tonykemp3098]

You showed a lot of skill using your tools, and made it look a lot easier than it is. Nice "prototype". After you've used it for a while, you'll know how to modify it to your own requirements. Great video, Thanks.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

Love it Andy. Thank you sir!

[@macbilling6410]

Wow! what a great job you did. Well done.

[@chriswolvaardt1899]

Awesome video thanks bubby always good to watch

[@rogercpate4386]

Nice work, thanks for the video, have been looking at several other vids for shaving horse, yours is really easy to follow. Thanks again.

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you Roger :)

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

You have mad skills Andy. That was epic.

[@chlorophyll365]

Cool! Ive never seen a shave horse before. You learn something new everyday 😁👍

[@JEpps1956]

It was a very well done video.

[@figtreeprophecy]

Very NICE tutorial. Ash wood, also called the kings wood is fairly common around here as well. You can whistle while you werk! This how i spell work, lol.

[@harikrisrain]

Look good 👌👌

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

First build the tools, then use those to build other, bigger things. Nicely done.

[@gailembleton662]

Wowwwwwww.. Brilliant. x

[@xaraxania]

That's great Andy thanks for that

[@woodsowisdombushcraft4869]

Great video! really nice to see some traditional methods to work the wood!

[@outdoorcamping4.267]

good job..nice idea

[@thizizliz]

Brilliant! You must have a big project coming up - exciting stuff!

[@johnramsell1109]

Wonderful project Andy well done mate

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks John

[@bobloblaw2342]

hell yes! love a project vid. :)

[@Kevin-rh5li]

well done mate

[@SwampValley]

Very nice, the sound of that auger cutting into the wood is pure ASMR. Looks like you've got a nice pile wood to play with there 👍 All the best mate.

[@KentSurvival]

cheers Skye, this is another mates woodland, he's a forester and thats his pile but I do steel from it lol

[@Cj-uq3kv]

Grand job! Love it!

[@st4y-c4lm44]

Awesome!

[@timkeagy4094]

Nice job. Liked that you had a thought process when you started this and how it became real as you went along.

[@dpax100]

Always enjoy watching your carpentry work. Great woodland skills Andy.

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Darrell

[@Intotheoutdoors69]

Well that was a different start well done Andy that looks amazing and yoy have acquired loads of tools😁👍

[@davidbarnhart6228]

You got some great skills!

[@paullewis09]

Great vid Andy loved it ;)

[@petersymons7817]

Thank u

[@4seasonswanderer716]

Great video enjoyed the watch. Atvb Jay.

[@BCJerbs]

I'm super bummed I haven't been getting any of your notifications...just by chance I just went to see something from you and you've made like 10 videos since the last one I was notified of so glad i checked! Great vid bruv! Cheers, Jerbs.

[@GraysOutdoors]

Excellent. Must have taken a good bit of planning👍👍

[@KentSurvival]

I had a little advise from a friend :)

[@rockykruijskamp9975]

Love to see you doing your thing. Nice to watch dude. Greetings from the snowy Netherlands ☃️☃️❄❄

[@jai_kishan0013]

Hi sir Thanks for uploading this video

[@trooper2221]

Im really admiring your skills!

[@craigpalmer347]

Great skills Andy 👍👍👌🏕🌲🌲

[@eddiekeylon323]

Very nicely done Andy!! I truly am impressed with your outdoor skills. I really do enjoy watching what you do out in the woods

[@charleslamica5123]

Kudos to you, Andy! I've built these and my first one had the same troublesome areas: had to adjust the length of the swinging legs and the length of the planing board. Once those were adjusted everything fell into place and the shaving horse is a pleasure to use.

[@suebrown3465]

I enjoyed this video. The things you can make in the middle of the woods with basic tools! A rustic camping bench or little table would be nice to see you make Well done and take care 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🐎

[@sanaholiday]

Wow nice

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Nice 👍 yes 👍

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I love that you chose slightly bent wood for the rails on the hold-down mechanism. It does lend to a better grip. Are those house in the back ground??

[@kenjohnson5498]

Easy with that ax my friend one wrong swing and you'll have to change the name to Carla's outdoors :P

[@massivedynamic2339]

Wait what? No food? Come on dude! Not seeing your camp cooking to give me some ideas for my upcoming trip is just not right! 😂😂 Kidding! Another strong vid. About to head out myself. 1st time camping in temps below 20 degrees! Some of your content has been helpful in my preparation. Be safe and thanks

[@KentSurvival]

haha, sure there'll be some soon :p Good luck on the camp buddy! have fun

[@rodbennettakakampzite5448]

Beautifully done!👍🔥

[@ArielleViking]

Nice job Andy, fascinating to see how you made that log into a board and how you shaved down those legs for this horse. 👍

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you :) looking forward to using it properly

[@garynipp5415]

BRAVO!!!!

[@hellohellohello6847]

I like the intro mate :)

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you :) my friend did me the music diddy

[@matthewbrooks8825]

Fantasic video Andy! I’m going to try and make a bench in this fashion after seeing this video! 👍🏻

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Hello from Cambodia 🇰🇭 Kent!

[@KentSurvival]

hi :)

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice video Andy 👍. That's bushcraft skills, on the next level 👌

[@douglashouston81]

If I tried that ,I would end up with good kindling 😛😜🤪

[@travelsinsidecambodia]

very good action 😍🇰🇭

[@survivalltsurvivallt6157]

Good 🎥 my friend

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you :)

[@marianfrances4959]

Looks good! Looking forward to the cabin build. Hello from snowy Alberta 😉👍😨🇨🇦🌲🌲🌲🔥

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Marian, me too.. just these issues getting the logs in to deal with haha

[@normmeunier9657]

Very nicely done. In future video let's see you make a bow.

[@heywhotsgoinon8286]

Good job you had that massive steak the other day. Could probably do with another one after this. Nice one bud.

[@KentSurvival]

haha thanks.. there was off screen bacon :p

[@bigredsgarden1656]

Way to go man on your first attemp. Looks great. I know you were deep in thought concentration while making this, but a small tid bit. I really like hearing your stories and things. Maybe a story or something in the silence. But love the channel, and watch em all

[@xxsouldust3rz]

Loving the content mate... keep up the good work 👍😎

[@paquiangorrilla4094]

magnifique travail, très belle vidéo, merci beaucoup.

[@hammondauger]

now what can we look forward to you making with this shave horse 🪓

[@scottl8137]

I've only seen a few in the states. One was at a woodworking show and it was just like yours, nice and rustic, and he out did the neighboring booth and their fancy aluminum- titanium super vise... 😁

[@KentSurvival]

oo super vice :) like it, thanks Scott

[@lamportprez3714]

Enjoyed this; made my first shave horse under watchful eye of Mike Abbott in Herefordshire. We used a pole lathe to turn some items - only a matter of time mate! Ps: ex-Kent lad now in the midlands; makes me miss those chestnut woods - man than timber splits true! Cheers

[@KentSurvival]

Thank you :) ah nice one! I had some advise myself on hand seeing as it was my first one... poll lathe is the next project

[@lamportprez3714]

That’s all good, always good to learn first hand from someone in the know. More features on green woodcraft would be awesome, there’s been a bit of a renaissance of late. I self taught in the main - by no means an expert, but enough to teach done students once - book by Ray Tabor (woodland crafts) and a course with Mike Abbot (think he’s retired now!) helped a lot - great content Andy, nice one 👍

[@57acres48]

Well done! Looking forward to seeing how you will use it in future projects. Don't mind the silent videos but would have be nice with a bit of explanation on some of the mechanics - guess this could be done in future videos when its actually in use. Thanks Andy! Another excellent video!

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks buddy, If and when I get my cabin logs and start that build this will be used for a lot of roof shakes

[@Sue.242]

Genius

[@malcolmT]

No I'm all for individual videos like this they are so informative keep the projects coming the variety is so interesting

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Malcome

[@joeswoods]

Nice one, your tool collection seems to be getting quite extensive.

[@KentSurvival]

cheers :) haha, i have a plethora of augers now

[@Antagonistic]

I'd love to have a go at this Andy, Dugout canoe next!😂

[@rosslumayko5182]

🇨🇦👍great video

[@KentSurvival]

Thanks Ross

[@pescandoconreison6493]

los mejores bendiciones..

[@garphykeks]

A thing of fcukin beauty bro👌😎😍

[@KentSurvival]

thanks Marty :D

[@rialobran]

Nice job mate, always satisfying to make something nice...even more so to watch someone else do it whilst in the warm and dry with a bacon sandwich. I know you said you had a few projects you wanted to do but you have enough wood there to build a fort for a John Wayne western, I can't help wondering what's next.

[@KentSurvival]

Cheers mate :D bacon was consumed during the build haha. This is at another forester mates woodland, thats his wood pile (that i steel from regularly haha)
