Shave & Spoon Horse Book Bundle

Product Description

By Sean Hellman

Shaving Horses, Lap Shaves, and Other Woodland Vices

Sean's book contains over 400 colour photographs and illustrations to demonstrate all stages and processes of making, using, and celebrating these traditional wood-braking devices.

It also provides plans and techniques that span instructions for beginners, to more complex designs, tool use and repair, and contemporary variations on traditional designs.

From the foreword written by Ben Law:

"Sean's book is without doubt, the most comprehensive collection of designs and plans of shaving horses for the green woodworker, to be published... Sean's writing is both evocative of his love of these shaving devices but honest to the reader as he openly relays his experience of using a particular design.

The Spoon Horse & Other Small Shaves

The Spoon Horse and other Small Shaves, is an extension of Sean's earlier book, Shaving Horses, Lap Shaves and Other Woodland Vices (Crafty Little Press, 2016). It has come about after several years using a variety of traditional designs and adapting these to suit Sean's own craft practice. The Spoon Horse has now replaced the role of Sean's larger shaving horse, when he work on smaller items. The Bench Horse is also a valuable resource in Sean's workshop.

Reflecting on design matters, Sean felt strongly that these smaller, sometimes more conveniently assembled seated vices are of greater advantage to green woodworkers who make spoons, fanbirds, pegs and other small items, than he had previously explored.

The Spoon Horse and other Small Shaves offers detailed plans, diagrams and clear working guidance for making the Spoon Horse, Bench Horse, and the Rope Horse, plus it provides instructions for additional features and modifications.
