[attachment=40155]I plan on building the Brian Boggs shave horse and am stumped how to cut these V shaped notches. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

By machine: a V groove router bit, a template and router guide bushing.
By hand: layout the profile and chisel. Simon

Ah yes, thank you. It should have been obvious, just had a brain cramp I guess.

If you have a 1/4" shaft router, the bits are fairly cheap--even from Whiteside.
But the 1/2" shaft bits start to cost significantly more. As I recall the 1/4" shaft was under $20.00 and the 1/2" shaft was about $60.00. Whiteside is sold on Amazon or you can order directly from Whiteside, but they always charge full list price.
