The roughed out rear leg on the shavehorse:
Slow
progress, mostly because the day job is a little crazy, but whatever it
will be finished around the 1st. Things left to finish are installing
the swing arm and dumb head, mortises in the platform arm and the rail
to hold the wedges, making a new seat, and shaping the rear leg along with general breaking
of edges and clean up.

Looks like its gonna be a hefty piece once completed.
ReplyDeleteWhy the stange shape of the front leg?
Bob, scratching his ass and Rudy
Bob,
ReplyDeleteThe bottom area will be thinned a little from about the knott, the back edge will go forward so there is about a 36mm square foot to the leg. Mostly the shape is controlled by it needing to be a wedge.
The back leg has been cut to shape and is much less massive, photos to follow once the next stage is done.
Yep each unit is strong and heavy but light enough to be easy to move, together it should be pretty sturdy.
