REDUCED Shavehorse and drawknifes

[rayknight]

Hurts to sell this, but you can't liquidate a shop without liquidating the stuff in the shop.  Made this shavehorse to make Windsor  chairs.  always found most shavehorses uncomfortable to sit on, so I fit a vintage steel tractor seat and made it adjustable, so works for tall and short.  Used cherry (cause I had it) and made an extra anvil to use for small parts. Can take it apart easily to stick in your car trunk, goes  back together easily & quickly. Selling as a group with the 3 pictured drawknives,  one is radially adjustable and can switch from bevel up to bevel down, the other two are different versions of foldup, blocks the sharp edge and can stick in your tool bag. Have leather  scabbards for the ones that need it.  The knifes are all in excellent condition, sharpened regularly and well.  

located in southern Indiana, near Louisville, pickup only. $350 for the shavehorse as described and the three pictured and described drawknifes.

Nice package, Ray!  Love the design of the shave horse!  GLWS!

the design came from prominent Kentucky craftsman, whose name escapes me this morning. some chairmakers favor other designs that allow  you to slide the workpiece in from the side and therefore work better with real long work pieces.  this one fit my needs well, I  didn't do real long pieces and this one stores easier.

Looks like a Brian Boggs shaving horse to me. FWW had plans in the magazine many moons ago. Agree with Ray that the seat is not super comfortable as designed and the tractor seat is certainly an upgrade.

thanks for the memory boost, this was based on the Boggs design. changed the seat, made the anvil ratchet teeth closer together (keeps the foot movement less),  and the short anvil for small pieces. worked well for me.
