  1. I was trying to remember what this style of shave horse is called, and I finally found it, the Shave Pony.

  2. Lot's of hard work there, Steve! My Mom always said that a good rocking chair had walnut rockers. That way it didn't walk across the floor while in use. Not sure if it is true or not. I made one of these for a buddy, sometime back. Mostly just out of 2x stuff.

  3. Well, thanks for all the ideas. However, I have just one more post to do. A lot of "flat work" is left to do. Bandsaw is working so hard at this job,.....sparks can be seen coming around with the blade. May have to spend a little cash, and buy a new blade for it, sometime. Not much of a carver, either. Crest rail may be a bit on the plain side....we'll see. Not too bad, for the first project I used the drawknives on? That cobbler's hammer handle was with just the spokeshave. Right now, there is a creek running through the shop....this Monsoon Season can stop at any time......like maybe today? not.

  4. Great post Steve, wonderful images and great techniques you are using there. Lew, that is a cool shave horse. Also, Steve, for your cramped quarters you could also use a Bench Shave like this: For a run down on it see here at http://www.sustainlife.org/blogs/woodworking/how-to-make-a-benchtop-shaving-horse/

  5. I have been kicking this one around for years. First I wanted to build a staged particle drop DC and went back and forth about blowers I was thinking about making a huge 5 foot diameter plywood blower and relying on scale to get throughput then I considered a welded up blower. All the blowers on all the cyclones are plastic and can't take an impact. I considered building a cyclone. I couldn't just buy a cyclone because of ceiling height : they all put the motors on top. So I was thinking of maybe a Felder 125 or 140 and the price delta between the 160 and those just wasn't that much so I ordered a Felder RL 160. Now making room for it ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
