We had a great time building and using shaving horses today.
Rdoby brought the one he made last year to let us see how it is done.  
And LeftyTom brought the one he started to get a few details worked out.
Mine, Rick's and Tom's. 
Everybody working hard...    
Tom made some great improvements. 
Phillip got a lot done and will finish his at home. 
Rick brought a chair he made from native wood.  |

Don't be misled: Mike did the work, I just pointed and grunted.
Good to meet Phillip and Jeremy. and to yak with Rick again.
I got home to trim the bushes, and sure enough, both batteries to the hedge trimmer were flat as a flitter. Does ol' style hedge trimmer count as a hand tool?

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Had a great time at Mike's yesterday. Mike, as always, is a gracious host. Good to see Tom again, he made some nice improvements to his shaving horse. Phillip was having too much fun watching Mike use his handtools. It won't be long before his shaving horse is up and running.
Phillip, I plan on sharpening my drawknife soon!

Got the bottom side of the seat cleaned up using my great grandfathers hand plane. Had to get it tuned up first. Still need to get the hardware I need to put it all together and make the foot rest.
Started on yours yet?

I have a wedding present to finish first.
I checked the MC on that thick board and I think it needs to dry another 6 months or so. Three inches takes a while to dry. | |
