Making a shaving horse for woodcrafting and traditional woodworking.

Sassafras is a wonderfully smelling tree! Watch me build a traditional shaving horse that will be used to make many more projects.

Beautiful work! Beautiful bench. Rugged and will last for a couple lifetimes. Hand made, an heirloom

[@eyeguyeyeguy1]

Great how simple tools can make a masterpiece with the right knowledge.

[@Traderjoe]

This is a great video

[@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard]

Thank you!

[@charlesfellows8130]

I've made one of these but I use some power tools especially for drilling. The only difference was I used some leather and some chain at the back of the angled board instead of making it stationary so you can adjust the height and angle of your working surface.

[@anemone104]

Neat. The endless variations in these things are amazing. Posted my own vid last week (only just seen yours) and mine looks the same from the thumbnail. Nope!

[@redeyestones3738]

Seems like a lot of time, and effort, for something that looks like it wouldn't last long enough to make this a worthwhile project

[@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard]

I bet it lasts 30 years. There are some around that are well over a hundred.

[@redeyestones3738]

@@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard I would've never guessed. Seems like if it's not perfectly symmetrical, that over time it would develop a wobble, and start falling apart. Just goes to show what happens when I assume things. I need one of these very soon. Looking forward to getting through all these surgeries, and healing, so I can get back to working on projects again. 😁

Excellent m8 forget the health and safety aspect with some boots ,better to be grounded to the earth while doing this project for maximum health benefits mind and well Biehn lol . Greetings from Wales UK and thanks for showing us .

[@caseyj.1332]

I had the pleasure of finding a large sassafras and obtained a log big enough to build custom front door for my house. Too bad it's not more readily obtained, it works wonderfully.

[@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard]

It’s a great material.

Интересный верстак, но почему у него всего три ноги.

[@eliasfarmer1219]

It only has three legs because it's hard to find a spot where the ground is flat enough that all the legs on a four legged bench could reach the ground at once.

[@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard]

Three legs is more stable on uneven ground. 4 will always rock.

[@СтепанБербат]

@@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard может вы и правы, но мне кажется, что четыре ноги надёжней

There is no room in the frontier cat house for the safety police.

[@tanyaerskine7657]

@@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard Lead by example, right? My comment wasn't an attack -- I just know it will be a matter of time before you get hurt, and no one wishes that on you. I'm a diesel mechanic, and in my profession, skipping safety steps can get you killed, so that's where I'm coming from. Be safe, my friend.

[@grigoriyefimovichrasputin7897]

You can use a protractor or sliding T bevel to help drill angled holes in wood.

Well done! Was that a persimmon branch you used for the pedal arms? Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

[@einy2crikey]

That looked like an enjoyable experience. The fragrance must’ve been fantastic. My Grandpa used to dig up the sassafras roots and taught us how to make tea with them which tasted and smelled like root beer. Great memory.

[@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard]

I love the smell and also make tea from the roots.

[@rodneysmart9774]

Nice work. Sassafrass, it's fun to say sassafrass..I made mine outta fir 15vrs ago.

[@ClaymansHandwerk]

Nice work! Only handtools and raw wood, love it. Maybe i'll copy that. I think for me it would be a little bit too high. Working with 90 degree elbows is not my favourite. Thank you! Greetings Gerrit

[@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard]

Thanks! Using those tools is a joy, if hard work. Good luck with your own.

[@larrykoroush6995]

What wood is that, it looks very straight grained, Yet sounds hard

[@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard]

It sassafras. Rare to find it so large. This fairly soft and a pleasure to work.

[@newtonframes]

Sassafras, is it ?

[@BecomeaWoodcraftingWizard]

Yes!

[@girthbrooks39]

Great eye! Use it to examine the thumbnail.

[@rossmorrow3013]

I’m just curious about the log splitting, instead of having the timber pointing upwards to just make it a little easier?…….
