  • Shaving Horse Plan.Pdf
    Projcet from WWW.CRAFTSMANSPACE.COM Project: Carving Bench Page 1 of 37 Shaving horse plan When machines and power tools entered the workshops, some of the hand tools were almost completely pushed out of the use. This was also the case with shaving horse tool that once was an indispensable tool for carpenters, bodgers (chair makers), bowyers (bows makers) and coopers (barrel makers). The shaving horse is nowadays being used mostly by enthusiasts that still almost all the things make by hands (peeling rafters and purlins, to shape spindles for turning, chair legs, barrel staves, shingles, and the like), but this tool is also used by some specific crafts, like the guitar making – for making the neck of a guitar, and also for the rustic furniture manufacture or for green woodworking. Shaving horse can even today be a useful tool, because it has a wide range of use, especially if your type of work is based on small series. There are many designs of shaving horse, and each of them is used for some specific purpose. It is usually used with a drawknife or spokeshave, but can be adapted for use with other hand tools. A shaving horse is an old woodworking tool used to hold a workpiece in a place while it is worked by a cutting tool such as spokeshave or drawknife. It holds slats, posts and rungs for shaving and drawknifing. Shaving horse is basically a workbench for shaping with a drawknife or spokeshave. Shaving horse consists out of the bench, on which the woodworker sits; the pedal operated clamp, whose function is to fasten the workpiece and the legs to support the shaving horse while it is being shaved.

  • Master Woodworkers' Show Wrap-Up
    Editor: Charlie Cutler Show Photos by Wanda DeWaard and Brent Quarles 20th MASTER WOODWORKERS’ SHOW WRAP-UP November 1-3, 2019, Knoxville, TN Well, we wrapped up another show and the “reviews” have been good! I think we can all take pride in this Guild’s efforts to put on a show of this caliber. We had fine examples of craftsmanship expressed in many styles with a special shout-out to Barney Travis, Best of Show winner for his fine Entrance Foyer Cabinet. We had several new makers this year and that makes me believe the efforts made to reach out to makers outside the local area are working. Each show continues to grow our circle of friends and potential Guild members. The show only happens every other year and for good reason, it takes a long time to make the kind of pieces we like to show. So, this is your first reminder to start thinking about that piece you think would look good in the 21st MWS gallery. Thanks to all who volunteered their time and talents to this year’s show!! No way could this happen without everyone who pitched in to help. We have had the same show committee for the past several shows and would like some new members. If you have some time and would like to be a bigger part of the show, please let me know. We need help with reaching out to makers from outside the guild, help with show promotion and sponsor relationship. Here is an overview of the numbers from this show: Thirty-seven makers from Tennessee and four other states displaying seventy-six pieces with thirteen makers being members of the East TN Woodworkers Guild.

  • Green Woodworking Pattern Book Download
    Green Woodworking Pattern Book Download Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.Woodworking shop in Germany in 1568, the worker in front is using a bow saw, the one in the background is planing.Among early finds of wooden tools are the worked sticks from Kalambo Falls, Clacton-on-Sea and Lehringen. The spears from Schöningen (Germany) provide some of the first examples of wooden hunting gear. Flint tools were used for carving. Since Neolithic times, carved wooden vessels are known, for example, from the Linear Pottery culture wells at Kückhofen and Eythra.Examples of Bronze Age wood-carving include tree trunks worked into coffins from northern Germany and Denmark and wooden folding-chairs. The site of Fellbach-Schmieden in Germany has provided fine examples of wooden animal statues from the Iron Age Wooden idols from the La Tène period are known from a sanctuary at the source of the Seine in France.The ancient civilization that first used woodworking was the Egyptians. Woodworking is depicted in many ancient Egyptian drawings, and a considerable amount of ancient Egyptian furniture (such as stools, chairs, tables, beds, chests) has been preserved in tombs. As well, the inner coffins found in the tombs were also made of wood. The metal used by the Egyptians for woodworking tools was originally copper and eventually, after 2000 BC bronze as ironworking was unknown until much later.[1]Commonly used woodworking tools included axes, adzes, chisels, pull saws, and bow drills.
