Where can I buy a shave horse ?

OWG has made a batch of shave horses to support their community based work with Headway UK and have decided to make these available to buy either as a kit of parts (£100+pp) or fully assembled (£450 ex woodland) for all to enjoy making greenwood items (spoons, chair legs, pegs, etc.)

A sliding seat is useful in making the shave horse adjustable for different people but also acts as a good device with which to clear wood shavings that will fall from the work piece.

When making octagonal tapered pegs for timber-framing its usful to cut a shallow groove in one or two faces of the barrel clamp to clasp the square peg ready for drawing it down into an octagon.
