Here's yet another pattern of shaving horse. I tried most of the
patterns, well, usual dumbhead and ladder. Found them both wanting in a
few ways. I definitely thing the dumbhead has it all over the ladder.
With the ladder you're stuck with what fits inside but the dumb doesn't
care how wide the stock is. The second usual pain is that they're hard
to adjust for differing thicknesses of stock. Some don't have any
adjustment at all. Most have a loose fulcrum, you pull the pin and a
series of holes to move the bar. I'm lazier than that. A hinged table
and a pair of wedges, attached to each other, does it instantly with no
effort whatsoever. Just don't smooth the surfaces too much and they
hold just perfect. http://www.snowcrest.net/kitty/scott/horse.html
