Shaving Horse Sub?

[BigNocker]

Do some of you have some clever ideas for substituting having a shaving horse or ingenious ways to hold your boards and staves while you work your magic?

[Justin Snyder]

A vice and something to bolt it too.  I built a heavy duty wood sawhorse and bolted a cheap wood vice to it.

I've worked a lot of bows sitting down with one end of the bow secured by my feet and the rest over a shoulder.  It's called not having a vice.  I wouldn't recommend roughing out a stave this way though

I have a pedestal vise I welded up with my MIG.

I built one out of my wife's old water bed that had been stored in the garage for years. I used it just long enough to remember where my vice was located on the bench. The hot box I built out of the same wood has proven its keep. Greg

What adb posted is my dream setup.....

[FlintWalker]

Mine is just like adb's...except much MUCH messier.

Some of my set ups. I have a couple of the horses but seldom use them.

I have my vice bolted to a big wire spool so  can roll it in and out of the basement.

Good Lord Pappy! How ya keep those machines from rusting? At least ya got vices enough for everybody at the bowyerin' party!

[Pat B]

Tom, those vises of Pappy's never get a chance to rust. They are constantly used all year long.

I never could appreciate the tips moving as I worked them so had a unit made with adjustable supports. Hope the pics come up. Al

Wow, that's very cool. Did you fab that yourself?

[Grayhorn]

No. I had a bud do it for me. I only do wood. Al
