Hi all, nice to stop back for a visit. Anyway, for those who read Fine Woodworking, the current issue has an article about making a shaving horse. The design looked good to me, especially the comfy chair part of it, so I made one. Taking an out of character step, I bought the detailed plans, rather than just going from the article. Turns out both the cut list and the article contain a critical error, which, if followed, will result in a beam height 1 1/2" lower than the design calls for. So here's the PSA: The front leg blank should be 23" long, not 20". I've contacted the author, who was very helpful, and hopefully FWW will issue a correction. The shaving horse in the background is the one I've used for the past 25 years or so.
Anyway, here are pics of the completed shaving horse. It has some really nice features, and took a few days to build.
