Make your own shave horse course, cumbria, this weekend!

[Coppice Wood Crafts]

We still a couple of places left on our shave horse course this weekend 28/29th July

 

This is an essential bit of kit for any green woodworker, and an excellent way to learn green woodworking basics.

 

We will teach you how to cleave and shape the wood using only hand tools and turn wood using a traditional pole lathe.

 

based at Haybridge Nature reserve near Bouth in the South Lakes, camping is available in the woods (inclusive of price) and facilities available in the study centre. Haybridge is a stunning nature reserve with an abundance of wildlife, so come and enjoy a weekend in the woods, sit round the camp fire in the evening and go home with your very own shave horse!

 

Taught by Tony Saunders and Vicky Naylor both experienced green woodworkers

Thanks Baggy, good find.

Just a thought, a weekend camping, use of tools, materials supplied and expert tuition all seems good value to me.

I kinda agree there.... a weekend with instruction etc plus equipment is pretty good for the price. I use a lot of green-wood stuff and its not always the most streighforward thing to make, havign somebody show you the ropes is always handy

free plans are also a bonus and i have made copies of them

Looks good!

Good craftsmanship on the banana, what did you finish it with to get it looking so real?

Nice horse there!

We made the beds for 3 new horses today. Used a chainsaw to shape them out of 2 inch thick planks of ash. will knock up the other bits over the next few weeks ready for the groups of kids who will come to try bodging in the near future.

Just wondering what method you use to drill the treadle frame mortises so they're all in the same plane? I've made a jig for mine. I ask because I make one or two of these a week to order and auction on ebay.
