Ultimate Folding Shave Horse PLANS

Folding 2x4 workbench with multiple woodworking attachments.
Shave horse/Spoon mule plans. www.etsy.com/A...
I am trying to make plans for the other attachments but I am new to making plans and its taking a while. I put together a basic plans of the base, spoon mule and shave horse with all the measurements I think it would take to make one for yourself.

[@zam200864]

Genius, the exact foldable multi-use bench I have been searching for. This is the Grand-slam home run of benches, very well thought out using easily attainable materials, deserving of a sub, thank you for sharing this. edit: At first I didn't see the plans available until reading someone's comment, thank you for making these available at such a great price.

[@jerbear7952]

Sir you have made a hell of a contribution. This is like a hand tool version of the shopsmith. I dont get my mind blown often...

[@TheSuperRunner]

Damn, this really is the ultimate bench

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you

[@johnc2264]

THANKS so much! I just finished making this shave horse per your plans. It works great on my hiking sticks, so much easier on my back than sanding bark with an angle grinder. I was able to use up a bunch of scrap wood, and only had to by the metal rod. The adjustability is perfect, to get alignment just right. WONDERFUL PLANS!

[@KhamusSolo]

dude! So glad I ran across this before started building my own. Your design really opened up my eyes to the possibilities in a way none of the other vids Ive seen about shave horses has. Well done is an understatement. Outstanding work sir!

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

Ok, I have to start off with this. This my friend is probably one of the best shave horse, spoon carving, bowl making, leather stitching horses I have ever seen. The leather stitching pony is the icing on the cake. I am like you short on room. Looking for options and am super pleased I ran across your video. Keep up the great work my friend. This is a very slick design that looks great and looks fully functional. Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more from your channel so we subbed you as well. Thanks again for sharing and keep up the fun work and videos. Dale.

[@AllTheHobbies]

Wow thank you so much for that response. I am glad you like the design and thank you for subscribing. Looks like we have many of the same interests. Thanks again for the kind words.

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

@@AllTheHobbies Out in the Garage last night, I have about half of the Base for mine built, Plan on working out there all day and see if I can get it done. I don't think I am going to do a how to build video, but I will put in the build highlights and go from there. Thanks agin for sharing this with us all. I hope you have a blessed weekend. Dale

[@edmcwv]

Heartland Outdoor Living ** Well said, great design.

[@davemartin1534]

Maybe some one has already suggested this or not. The stitch pony make some longer jaws for it to hold a hand saw for a hand saw file n vice. Just realized you get many more attachments you are going to have to pad that seat up cause you are going be setting a lot more often. Also a good light attachments (use led bulbs lots of cheap light and ain't as hot producing in close work )would be great addition and not to mention😊 don't forget a cup holder.

[@andrewutube6]

Great work! Bought your plans as a hats off to all the work you put into this. Now I just need to find the time to build it 😅 seriously though, thank you 🙏

[@h.w.6580]

I've watched all of the videos for spoonmules at YT! Why have I overlooked yours until now? Definitely the best combination of all possibilities and requirements. Great job! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you so much.

[@davidhawley1132]

I like, and am converting to metric in order to build. I bought your plan to say thanks.

[@curtsweet2581]

Excellent engineering! I am going to buy the plan in the near future...

[@noads1035]

This is brilliant, easily the best horse on the tube. I hope you are still playing with the hobbies. Reply if you can please.

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you. Trying to find more time to do hobbies is my newest hobby. LOL

[@barbedstar6480]

Wow! What a brilliant design of a shaving horse and you have explained it all perfectly. I never knew what my malady was until you described yourself as a 'collector of hobbies' and that fits perfectly. At 72 - it's been a life long issue so their may be no hope of you out growing it. Keep up the great work, keep dreaming, planning and playing. I think I will get your plans and follow your build. I, too, have watched mega amounts of shave horse videos, but this is the one I have been waiting for! Thanks, so much!

[@AllTheHobbies]

No help for me thats for sure. :D Thank you for watching. I am glad you liked the design.

[@ardysmith9987]

Best set up I've seen on KZbin,if I was you I would build another one an put it for sale. I've did just like you an watched many videos but I also work in the welding an fabrication industry as a draftsman. So I can build this out what ever I want years ago I made my first foot vice for holding steel to grind it an I always made a ratchet lock system so I could put it under pressure an then get off it so I didn't need to continue to hold it in place. Hey add a work table to your system for staining an painting but also for other stuff a 4 FTC 8 ft table to comes in handy for out door cooking,lol an you can take it off an store it away. Great design son . An greatest design I've seen for spoon work . Build a shave horse an sell it then give them a picture of your addition set ups an sell dose separate also sell the plans .

[@armcd5064]

I'm currently making one of these and I'm using most of your work as a guide in putting mine together. Thanks for doing the groundwork on this project.

[@Grumpyneanderthal]

I have two compliments for you....First - very innovative design-particularly for someone new to shaving, carving, stitching etc; Second your presentation was flawless.... on point -good flow as you progressed through the attachments. Well done. I’m ordering the plans and will add it to my list of print and hope to get it done soon. Thanks for the effort-I hope you sell thousands of plans

[@johns.1099]

Wow! What a display of inventiveness and craftsmanship. The take-down , multiple features and adjustability of your shave horse are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you so much.

[@ha-y-in6938]

Best way I can say your a madman, is I'm redrawing your design and building my self one.ive been looking forever for one that just does it all. Swiss pocket horse. 😆 🤣 😂 thanks for everything.

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Simply brilliant design. Thank you for sharing this!

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you for watching.

[@MrMarkpeggy]

@@AllTheHobbies I purchased your plans and am excited to build one.

[@gordoncouger9648]

I have watched and saved every video I could find on various horses, ponies, and mules made for working wood, spoons, leather, etc. Yours is the best among them. It is simple to make, sparing in its use of materials, easily modified and extended, and only limited by one's imagination. Normally I would have said inexpensive rather sparing in its use of materials buy, there is no inexpensive lumber today. I expect the only way to make it cheap is to laminate recycled wood. Then you would be trading time for money probably at an unfavorable rate. I've designed and built things for 70 years. Everything from a retail fertilizer plant, my own farm machinery to some of the hardware and all software for a networked fertiliser applicator. I also trained and worked in the family vocation of carpentry stating when I was 11 or 12 when dad found out I could use a hammer left-handed better than he could. You have done a good job designing this tool. If I make one of these the first thing I will use for is to carve a more ergonomic seat with better padding! I will also give a good deal of consideration to using tapered wedges or pins to better lock something in place I have in mind.

[@glthorsen]

I bought the plans and look forward to making it!! I'm like you in that I like to make tools etc. I do carve spoons and bowls as well as turning things. This is the perfect way to enhance both those things! I don't have a big space either so this is perfect! I also enjoy leather work so I'm all for the stitch pony too! Great job and thanks for sharing!

[@MrFordjd]

Very cool. Options for days 😂

[@M2164532]

Thank you for sharing. Super smart design.

[@Halfearthnc]

Wow! You win the shave horse video competition. Best design I've seen by far and the one I will be trying to copy this weekend! Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you. How did it turn out?

[@saveoursecond8738]

Hands down the best multipurpose horse. Great design and so easily adjustable for all ages of craftsmen, kids and adults alike.

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you so much. Im glad you like the design

[@saveoursecond8738]

@@AllTheHobbies I wished there was a cut list with your plans. Like how many 2x4, 2x6 ect. and what lengths to get. I also thought the plans would have included plans for the bowl head. Still the best multi-design I've seen.

[@AllTheHobbies]

@@saveoursecond8738 Sorry I didnt think of a cut list. The base can be made from two 8 foot 2x4's if you lay it out without any waste. The rest I made with material I had already. Im sure it would not even be a whole 8 foot 2x6. The bowl head I have not had a lot of time to use and I didnt really end up liking how close the front jaw was to my chest. To move it back I would have had to shorten it and I just never finalized how I would change it. I tried to make it clear of what was included in the plan description.

[@kfayayay2674]

This is The one i've looking for ! Complete, small and foldable, editable and only 5€ plans. Thanks a lot from France ! :)

[@TRINITY-ks6nw]

Kid you did a GOOD job

[@dave_stewart954]

This is like the Swiss Army Knife of work benches! Fantastic workmanship, haven't came across anything remotely close to what you've designed here.

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you.

[@richardjones9915]

My compliments Sir, I'm going to use many or you ideas on my Shave Horse.

[@stuartosborne6263]

That is amazing, I watched all the way to the end. Very clever to have designed a "Jack of all trades" shave horse without compromising on any of the functions, in fact you have improved some of it's functionality. As an Englishman I was quite disappointed it didn't have tea making facilities. 😆 Thankyou for sharing.

[@AllTheHobbies]

LOL I do enjoy tea sometimes. Hmm Thank you for watching.

[@my1kwords]

Absolutely brilliant and just the ticket for someone with very little work space. Purchased your plans and preparing for the build.

[@erickn]

Absolutely clever ! Well thought-out, well made, must be a treat to work on such a shave horse. Thanks for sharing this with so much enthusiasm.

[@BettyNFriendz]

Best shave horse design on KZbin! Thanks for sharing

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you. Glad you like it.

[@brentjenkinsdesigns]

Well done brother! Great ideas u have there!

[@sethwarner2540]

you have spent a while figuring this out! All you need now is a welder attachment!! And a lathe!

[@steviebutterworth4240]

Bravo dude. Just brilliant.

very nice design ,thank you will use a lot of your ideas for making mine

[@torrensarnold1147]

Wow! Great design. This is exactly what I am looking for. Absolutely brilliant. By far the best setup I have seen. I love the versatility of it all. I usually don't comment on videos but I had to give you kudos.

Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Love your ideas. I was just telling someone. it would be nice to have one that breaks down for traveling

[@Goatman365]

I just watched your video, I am amazed at all the jigs you are using for your folding bench. You definitely have a great idea here. I will be drawing up plans to make this horse. I carve spoons, bowls, pulleys and industrious wood shapes for farmers. I stitch blankets and form leather. Your ideas are the thing of legends. Thank you very much for the ideas and you did an excellent job with the video, not some wise ass who says this is how to do it. Thanks again. Awesome job. Dan

[@omarcruz1630]

Muy bueno el video. Felicitaciones y saludo desde Buenos Aires Argentina!!!

[@allenguffey9370]

Great design

[@countrylifetales2700]

Over the past year or so, I've watched tons of videos on 'making a shave horse'. This one however, is so much more user friendly than any that I've seen out there and, it is the most versatile. This is the one that I'm going to make. I just bought your plans on Etsy. Great job and thanks.

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you. Let me know how it turns out.

[@andrewvidaurri8777]

Finally! Hello friend, and thank you so much for sharing this video with me and everyone else! Like yourself, I’ve watched so many videos and spent so much time looking, watching, seeing, and even though I came across your video a while back, yours has been a real eye opener! The magic in it is the simplicity you’ve built into it. Brother, you have to protect this for all you’re worth. This is just perfect. The beginner can easily make this with basic tools. The more advanced woodworker may want to modify, but all in all, you’ve done a great job here. I can’t say enough good things about it. I’m 90% done and anxious to get started using mine. I’ve incorporated a metal tractor seat to make my shave horse uniquely mine. Thanks again so much. It’s been a while since you’ve finished yours, but I’m just starting! So what have you made? Take care friend, best wishes to you. Andrew

[@janiscoalson6246]

Even though it’s been a while, you have enough viewers to request tools from vendors (to sponsor you!) good luck

[@AllTheHobbies]

Thank you.

[@plum1000]

First glance... I liked it well enough to pay the 5 bucks. I picked up some small branches and logs at a recent 65mph wind attack. One guy/gal wrote it was worth $5 and that was good enough for me to try it. It will work 'cuz I'll make it work... but you did the plan work and I have a brain and I can do stuff too... all without complaining. Thanks for the vid.

[@indianatone218]

quick patent it and get into production thats a great idea thanks for showing us .greetings from Wales UK .

[@MrMikeEdie]

This is great. I think I'll try make it. Thanks.

[@billiebeads]

Like you, I think I've watched every video out there on building a spoon mule. But my search was specific for one that is foldable and portable. When I saw yours I knew immediately I could quit looking. This is so genius. I built a spoon mule for myself last week from purchased plans. It's a very basic one, and I love it. I would like to build one for my son's girlfriend, but she doesn't have space for one like mine and she travels with her work. So the portable/foldable one is the first requirement. Hoping you find time to write out dimensions. I will gladly purchase any sort of plans available. Thanks.

Your idea is not only very well thought out but appears to be one of the most useful horse's/mule's that I have ever seen. Like you I have watched countless videos and read many books that show basically a single use system. I would gladly purchase a set of detailed plans if available.

[@davidfred1328]

Nicely done!

[@StreamHugger]

I was really impressed with how solidly you designed and built the shavehorse base. And then when I saw the interchangeable hold-down clamp and spoon jig for it -- wow, brilliant! Great job. When I see a cool build like this I usually try to figure it out for myself rather than pay for and download plans. But there is no way I could improve upon this design, so I just purchased these plans from your Etsy store. I can't wait to get started on the build.

I bought your plans earlier today, and I am about halfway done with building my shave horse. I am doing it all mostly 2 x 4 because that is what I have sitting around, So I have had to make some adjustments, but it is coming along nicely. This is the best overall design I have seen. Thank you much for sharing this.

No problem thank you for buying the plans. Let me know how it turns out when you get it finished.

[@colonel6007]

This is the perfect compliment to a 5-in-1!! If you modified the leather pony just a little, you could also add a saw vise for sharpening your hand saws. Just something to think about. I love taking one thing and expanding its usefulness but you went so far beyond!! Great job, and I will be buying the plans!!👍👍👍

That is a brilliant design. Nicely done.
