Shaving Horses, Lap Shaves and Other Woodworking Vices, a Book of Plans and Techniques for the Green Woodworker is written by author Sean Hellman, a designer and maker who has worked as a professional green woodworker for over 25 years.  This is a practical, instructive book with plans, diagrams, and clear working guidance for making shaving horses: functional, traditional, wooden clamping devices upon which the woodworker sites astride while crafting a piece of wood.  Similarly, lap shaves and other woodland vices are explained, from sourcing suitable timber in the woodland, to construction and how-to-use. The book includes full color photos on every page, illustrating each step of each process described.  

Chapters include plans and information about: Dumbhead Plank shavehorse, Easy Rider shavehorse, Spoon horse, English style frame shavehorse- the Bodgers horse, Standing house, Bench horses, Bowl horse, Lap and stick shaves, Cleaving brakes and hoop shaves. Information on drawknives is also included along with health and safety considerations, a full glossary and bibliography.

The book is soft-bound 11 3/4" by 8 1/4" by 3/8". It is one of our most popular books sold in the bookstore because it is so beautifully illustrated and packed full of great information. Published by Crafty Little Press in the UK.
