Great build, Dan. Now if I can only find a source for a drawknife and spokeshave. Oh, and learn to sharpen them. I will have to show my wife your video so she knows what I mean by shavehorse.
Love this video, Dan. Please grind away the steel that has mushroomed passed the edge of that splitting edge. From personal experience, they will break away and lodge in hands, arms, legs and eyes.
I'd even suggest to use wooden mauls for some of the wedge work to limit mushrooming. The wedges are less effective that way. My brother used a 16 lb sledge on one my dad had and that wedge was almost useless it was out of shape so bad.
Awesome! I have some rock hard old telephone poles in the yard and want to make a shave horse and a carving bench from them. Possibly a pole lathe too. Projects, projects...always another project waiting! 😃👍
I enjoyed your video. I made my shaving horse about twenty years ago and have used it a lot. As a matter of fact my back to legs have since broken off. I just place the stump that I rive and ax hew and trim with under the back at the seat end. Works great!
May I suggest that you make the footplate about a foot longer. It would allow you to keep your legs in a much more comfortable position, as well as give you more pressure on the piece of wood that you are working on. It will also allow you to open and close the jaws easier and with more control. I used one of these for decades.
Had to comment in the middle. Dan ive been watching ya a long time now and gotta say that this vid is sofar the best you put on the "Tube"..the soundtrack just somehow fit.
Great vid. Love the hand tool tutorials. I made a few of these in the past. Started with four legs but found three work better and stand most anywhere. Two in back, one in front. Give the foot lever enough room up front. Just a suggestion.
Amazing ! Great video ! Might I suggest you grind off the ragged edges of your metal wedges. I was in a shop one time & the mechanic was pounding on a punch w/ragged edges and a piece flew off & became embedded in his cheek. Merry Xmas !!
But you didn't end with "this is Dan wowack with Coalcracker Bushcraft"..! How will I know who you are? And whether or not I should stay in the woods! Lmao! Great project brother keep them coming!
DAN THIS VIDEO BROUGHT BACK FOND MEMORIES OF BACK WHEN I WAS IN MY PRIME. YOU SHOULD HAVE ADDED SOME VERBAGE OF HOW THIS WAS A NO SWEAT TASK. HA! IT TAKES VERY HARD WORK TO MAKE ONE USING OLD SCHOOL TOOLS . WHEN I BUILT MINE I EVEN HAD A FOOT ADZE AND A BROARD AXE TO SMOOTH THINGS OUT A BIT. I COMMEND YOU ON YOUR HARD WORK AND MAKING A EXCELLENT VIDEO.
Nice looking horse. I usually use a crotch to make the dumb head. A lot less work. I also do my best to do a 3 legged bench using another crotch for the legs. Like a giant slingshot with the "handle" fitted into the bench. I am probably not describing it well but anyone who has spent time watching The Woodright's Shop on PBS has probably seen the episodes that covers the genuine versions of the colonial shaving horses that go back to Germany.
That was very cool to see. I want to build one of these for my dad to use. Splitting that log into a more or less plank for the bench was really impressive. I didn't know it was possible to get a log to split that cleanly. Sure saves a lot of time with the hatchet or adze. Well done!
Love this video. Im an engineer and this is is beautiful. This is what our country was founded on.
Now this is what youtube is all about in my book. Watch people make things and proud of there accomplishments. Thumbs Up. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Superb shaving horse. Nicely build without industrial lumber.
Thanks, will attempt next week.
Heartfelt appreciation for creation and upload.
Again thanks,
from Cornwall.
(next to England.)
Fun fact after watching a few of you videos i started at your first video and am determined to watch all the way to presemt.
How many times do I have to come back and thumbs up this awesome video??
This is the third time !
TH-cam stop 🛑 being so lame
Look at the cute little hatchet- love it.
YES! now THAT is CoalCracker Bushcraft! Thank you Dan.
Your a remarkable guy! My son and I made an English style this fall so We know it’s harder then it looks to build one. Thank you.
Nice build. I did bookmark it for future referance. Happy Holidays to you, your family, Dan and everyone else who has been watching this video.
Great build, Dan. Now if I can only find a source for a drawknife and spokeshave. Oh, and learn to sharpen them. I will have to show my wife your video so she knows what I mean by shavehorse.
excellent work my friend. invaluable in the woods.
Now to finish that canoe paddle for this springs canoeing season. Fun project.
Great tutorial, Dan! Dick Proenneke is giving a thumbs up for sure!
Love this video, Dan. Please grind away the steel that has mushroomed passed the edge of that splitting edge. From personal experience, they will break away and lodge in hands, arms, legs and eyes.
Amen! I would have mentioned the same.
Yeah, had one sharp edge/flake just poke thru glove and at first it didn't register that my palm is bleeding.
I'd even suggest to use wooden mauls for some of the wedge work to limit mushrooming. The wedges are less effective that way. My brother used a 16 lb sledge on one my dad had and that wedge was almost useless it was out of shape so bad.
i got a nice scar on my belly precisely because of this.
True!
Very nice horse..beautiful legs. Good work
Love the video Dan, so relaxing watching the build, absolutely love the music! Really chilled out.
Great Build, Pap would be so proud of you

Awesome! I have some rock hard old telephone poles in the yard and want to make a shave horse and a carving bench from them. Possibly a pole lathe too. Projects, projects...always another project waiting! 😃👍
So much character. I love it
Cool video format with the music playing as you worked...I like it.
very well done !!!! besides the shave horse you got yourself alot of tinder for starting fires from all the shavings and off cuts from the project
Great job! That looked like a ton of work
Simply beautiful
Thank you very much Sir 🎉
So cool missed your videos

Maybe he ain't got grinder

Greetings, good video. Thanks for the share. pax,
I was thinking about using my draw knife!
But you didn't end with "this is Dan wowack with Coalcracker Bushcraft"..! How will I know who you are? And whether or not I should stay in the woods! Lmao! Great project brother keep them coming!
3:56 music syncs to the work. That was awesome!
Nice work
Good video! Makes me want to make another bow!
Great job !
Merci pour ce moment, un réel plaisir a te regarder faire avec si peu de moyen. Reposant et instructif a la foi, bravo et merci encore.
Awesome video
Nicely done. I need to get a set of gouges.
Exactly like Roy Underhill build for his book, the Woodwrights shop.

Красавчик мужик всё в ручную изготовил
Wow brother! Amazing build sir. Great music choice too. Merry Christmas!
Excellent!
Impressive as hell!!
Damn, SIR that was perfect 👍🏻👍🏻
Cool!!
Real handy for u!!
Pretty snifty pal ! Yessir 🙂
Man, right on time!
Cool video
excellent
Interesting felling technique...I think traditionally the notch was chopped out and the backcut was sawn.
I need to re-haft and resharpen my adze...
Nice looking horse. I usually use a crotch to make the dumb head. A lot less work. I also do my best to do a 3 legged bench using another crotch for the legs.

6:55 TINY AXE! so cute :3
AYellowPepper I want one. Where on earth did he get that.
Nice!
More videos like this one!
That was very cool to see. I want to build one of these for my dad to use. Splitting that log into a more or less plank for the bench was really impressive. I didn't know it was possible to get a log to split that cleanly. Sure saves a lot of time with the hatchet or adze. Well done!
