Anyone have a set of good planes for a shave horse.

Brian Boggs has a nice setup. Might be a good place to start. I have a horse on my short list, but haven't decided on a design yet, so I'll be interested to see what others offer up.

I built one on Peter Galbert's design, but I think Tim Manney has a better one out there. No "plans" persay, but you can figure it out from his blog posts.

And if you're making bowls, take a look at the one by David Fisher. It may be my next one.

I met a professional spoon maker who taught me how he made spoons so I needed a shaving horse. Here's mine. The tractor seat is on a sled so it moves forward & backward depending on the length of billet I'm working. It's about 6' long overall & seat is 23" off floor. It's made from leftover yellow pine flooring.

Where can I buy a tractor seat like that?

I've sat on shave horses that hurt my butt before, but that one looks comfortable for the long hours required.

Not really plans as such; there are drawings, but no measurements.

Popular Woodworking has Tom Donahey’s plan based on the Brian Boggs shave horse
here.

I thought Lee Valley had a free plan on their web site, but now I can't find it?
