I am looking for plans, photos or whatever tips/suggestions I can get for building my own stavemaster style bowyers bench.  Anybody?

You had better get an attorney first. The Stave Master is Keenan's design and creation.  ;)

I have access to a welding shop and all the steel I need and I have looked into making one my self and I get the steel for the price the shop gets it for. Honestly you arent going to save much if any at all by making your own, for the time and materials cost Keenan puts into these he really isnt going to get rich, nor are they over priced. They are very well priced IMO. Save up some cash and just buy one from him thats what im gonna do. .02

Tenbrook, that is very similar to the one I built many years ago. One difference is I put the arm for the knucklehead in the center instead of on one side. This way I can place the stave to one side or the other when working it down.

Thank you everyone, for your interest in the Stave Master Bow benches. We are still in the early stages of marketing this product, and therefor have tried not to break any rules about selling before we get the advertising in place. We have contacted PA about our add and hope to have it up soon.
 Thank you for all the support and good testimonials of those that have seen and tried them out. Much time and effort has gone into designing what we feel is the very best bow bench on the market. We know that many people may wish to build there own, and we have had many inquiries about plans. We hope that you will all understand that we have too much invested, to just give out plans. As Josh stated, we are not going to get rich at the price that we getting for them. I have had a steel fab business for years and we have the cost down to a bare minimum with no "middle man" mark up on them. In addition we have invested money in the patenting process, as we are patenting the Stave Master. We are very proud of this product and positive feedback we have had from all who purchased and used the Stave Master.
