Green Woodworking - Make a Shave Horse - 1 Day Course in South Devon
Description
This shave horse is a hybrid, combining the best features of a number of tried and tested designs. I have added a few of my own touches to make this extremely versatile and portable horse. It can be set up and folded away in a matter of seconds, is fully adjustable, suits all leg lengths and tucks comfortably under one arm. It can be hung on the wall, taking virtually no room in your shed or workshop. A very useful and convenient tool. During this course you will use a pillar drill and other traditional tools to build your own horse to take home. Tuition will be given on basic woodworking techniques, including measuring, marking out accurately and cutting square to a line. If there is time you can carve your seat for added comfort. It is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced woodworkers.
What's included in the price?
All tools and materials are provided. Tea, coffee and treats are included but lunch is not provided. There is a microwave and wood-burner to heat things, and a toaster. The workshop is situated in a very beautiful valley in the South Hams. The sea is about 10 minutes walk from the workshop. There are great places to stay, including some very lovely self-catering cottage accommodation within 5 minutes walk.
