Bens Shaving Horse 2013 :)

[Ben Casey]

Hi Guys and Girls

Firstly Happy New Year to everyone For the last few weeks I have been thinking about trying to make a shaving horse so this morning with some of the spare wood I had laid about and downloading a few differnt ideas from the internet I had a bash









And it takes my wieght which is cool it is maybe a bit to long but it was my first attempt at making one so I can finish my bow of


Next I have to make a seat and the wedge and vice bits but thats in the morning as my feet where freezing


Anyway feel free to let me know what you think
