Title: Plans for a bow vise
Post by: kylerprochaska on September 27, 2009, 12:02:14 pm

I was wondering if anyone had any blueprints for building a bow vise? or bow horse vise?  I would buy the one they have on 3river's but I think that's too much money for something I could probably build

Ky, they were called shaving horse or coopers bench long before we used them for a bowyers bench. These were a common household item when folks made all of what they need to live.
