What a sweet guy! Thanks for the vids, I find myself imitating your accent as well as taking notes on the process, which is concise and easy to follow.

[@Joe.484]

there are alot of fancy builds for a spoon mule but this is straigt and simple and works just wonderful. Thanks Rick!

[@738polarbear]

Well ,first the horse and now the spoon attachment .I cant wait for the bowl..Thank you Rick.

[@blessed1sj]

Did he ever make the bowl mule? Couldn't find it.

[@francesluck6597]

David Smart said everything i wanted to. Great ideas, and I really enjoy the sound of your draw knife cutting through wood. Thanks!

[@RickMayotte]

You're Welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@BeyondF1]

I made a shaving horse and a spoon mule but workshop space is at a premium. This is a very neat solution. Thanks for sharing.

[@RickMayotte]

Thanks Phil, it's been working out well for me. I also use the base as a sawing bench when I need one.

[@sallyweiner4180]

Thank you for the wonderful instruction. I am also really looking forward to the bowl horse build. 😊

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Thanks for the great video Rick! What a wonderful idea, so simple and functional.

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for showing how and sharing that, well done!

[@richardcranium6554]

Aside from squaring marks on a saw that cuts square, you kick butt. Good job.

[@PapaTony165]

Just made a spoon mule of my own today using your video as a guide. Love it. Next on the list is to tackle the shave horse unit. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jeandresley275]

Rick.,, Thank you for your video. I'm almost done with the spoon mule attachment. The sticks are giving me trouble. I'm a novice and you make everything look so easy.

[@benius42]

Wow great job! I'm just getting in to spoon carving and have been just using my hand as my vise. I'm going to the lumber yard tomorrow! :-) Thanks for sharing~!

[@RickMayotte]

Thank You, and You're Welcome! Good luck with the build and with your spoons. If you are so inclined, let us know how it turns out!

[@OsborneExploration]

Very nice design 👍 Thanks for the idea.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Rick, count me in as a new subscriber! Your video on the smaller version of the shave horse was great and I wanted to see this one as well. I think I will use pegs to hold down the top by putting two holes through the sides of the table so they pass through the center of the head. Then put one peg in from one side and the other from the opposite side-staggered. I too have a tiny shop and I'm just thinking about it breaking down even farther. I love how you just wing it. I'm the same way and some of the best ideas come from that type of building. I'm going to scrounge around and see what I have and hopefully avoid going to the store. Thank you for your videos!!

[@zacka3159]

Thanks for the video. I will be making the shave horse and the spoon attachment!

[@brianhoppersr.3671]

Can't wait to build my own!!

[@Wes32168]

Excellent Video, Very informative! Thanks, Rick!

[@derwoodsdiy7710]

Pretty cool setups! 👍🏼 well done!

[@leroymontano315]

Bad ass ,love the wood horse .

[@photographeratlarge]

Great idea for a small shop!

[@joylesson7408]

Green wood working

[@icespeckledhens]

It works very well. It's more for the 'out in the sticks' bodger lifestyle because you can do the work on a bench with a vice or a jig. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it. James

[@jaxwickham6344]

I also would like to see,(and learn) the bowl horse....great vid..working on mine as we speak

[@raincoast9010]

Thank you, very clever!

[@TheMagicAnne]

This is fantastic! Very inspiring.

[@jackcollins2349]

Very nice and functional. But in my mind, not that I’ve tried to make a spoon yet, I’m not understanding why the shave horse wouldn’t work for spoons as well.

[@TRINITY-ks6nw]

Thank you again

[@cyrilbrun8764]

Great idea and attachment Rick , I will add your idea to my shaving horse , Thanks . Now I will check out your other vids . Cheers

[@sSparkthatbluNt420]

Building mine right now and using this for reference

[@EveryWhichWayButLost]

Most excellent

[@rickyburton4642]

That’s a great tool!😃👍👍🇺🇸

[@jenkins1979]

Can you make an over center stitching horse head for this horse too?

[@martymande]

Would you happen to have plans for the shaving horse and spoon mule you could share?

[@Peterg1605]

Thanks for the Video! Best Videobomb at 3:32... ;) Nice Tool, i will try to rebuild it!

[@spankieweasalcakes9274]

You got a subscription her bud! Hate to jinx ya' but as of this message, you have zero dislikes on this post. Don't think I've ever seen that. I'm impressed.

[@RickMayotte]

Thanks! Until you mentioned it I hadn't noticed about the dislikes

[@spankieweasalcakes9274]

Best to ignore any if they turn up and stay positive anyway. Kind regards from Kingston, Ontario. Your effort is both recognized and appreciated. Are you from Massachusetts? I'm not the best with accents.

[@RickMayotte]

Thanks! I think that's good advice. I am originally from Massachusetts though I live further north now.

[@michaelminer1894]

Thanks for the video.

What advantage is the spoon mule over the shave horse.

[@RickMayotte]

You can get in close with a draw knife, something that's much more difficult using just a shaving horse.

[@TomBuskey]

I made a longer base with folding legs from other videos, but I've been trying to work out the attachments. Your shave horse and spoon mule attachments look like just what I want. Have you made a bowl carving attachment yet?

[@davidsmart8594]

Man...You've done all my thinking for me! Thank you very much for posting this. With workshop space tight (does anyone have 'too much' room?), this will be perfect going straight into my vice. Subbed. PS The accent reminds me of President Kennedy; same area of the country?

[@RickMayotte]

Thanks! Let me know how yours turns out...President Kennedy had an accent? I never noticed ; - ) Lol, yes I was raised in the same area of the country.

[@thesquarewheel7057]

Very cool addition to the original horse. I do have a question though. Could someone combine the shave head with the spoon head? Would either affect the performance of the other? Other than needing to remove the spoon arms? Subscribed!

[@jackmack9325]

How long before you build the bowl horse attachment?

[@RickMayotte]

I tend to build these things as I need them so probably a few months yet but if it's something you'd like to see I could make it sooner.

[@cowboycody8094]

I would like to see it too.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

Ruck, are you from New Hampshire ?

[@vernonvest9927]

Your spoon mule what angle do you use at the top on your legs.

[@RickMayotte]

22 1/2 degrees

[@vernonvest9927]

@@RickMayotte thanks.

[@vernonvest9927]

Will they both work to make spoons.

[@RickMayotte]

You could use a shaving horse to hold a spoon blank but it would not be as easy to use a drawknife to shape it because the lever would get in your way.

[@vernonvest9927]

After a couple of week of thinking 💭,I have been able to the two from one frame ,just about did me in.😀

[@vernonvest9927]

Get the two shave horse and spoon mule in one frame both are moveable from the frame.

[@dannyfay1013]

How is the remainder

[@vincepresto759]

LOVIT, new sub here for sure ! Will build both and the compact size is ideal for my small shop ! What was the third use for the same Shaving Horse ? Thx’s for Sharing

[@vincepresto759]

Adding to my post as being compact I believe I see a way that the legs can be folded up and remove the head for storage and set back up depending on what Head you need ! Thx’s

[@fwright2]

Make a mallet!

[@claudest-marseille9528]

Do you have a plan

[@sb2261]

You from new England?

[@gcxred4kat9]

Funny, if this guy said "hardest part" followed by " hottest pot", you would hardly be able to distinguish them.
