The shave horse you will create has been carefully designed by us, drawing inspiration from the traditional English style shave horse, renowned for its durability and functionality. During the course, you will work with pre-cut pieces of treated, planed, easy-edge timber. The process will involve basic woodworking skills, such as sawing and drilling, to prepare the timber for assembly. Once the pieces are ready, you will use screws to put your shave horse together, ensuring a sturdy and reliable structure.
This course is suitable for beginners, as no previous woodworking experience is necessary. Our instructors will provide all the guidance and support you need to complete your project successfully. By the end of the day, you will have a functional and portable shave horse, as well as a newfound confidence in your woodworking abilities.
Also the shave horse you've created can be folded up flat making it easier to store also can be turned into a spoon carving mule, a specialized bench used to hold wood while carving spoons and other small items. We will provide instructions on how to make this conversion at home.
