Ron Green Hello, glad you liked the video.

Steve Larsen It's an enjoyable tool to use, feel free to send a picture if you build one. I had another fella make one after seeing the video and he sent a photo, made some cool changes to it.

+banjowoodsman 76 Will do.

+Peik Stenberg Your welcome

+Gary Quernemoen It's a fun tool, here's another video that may be interested in. It's about a draw knife, which is one of the tools you use one a shaving horse. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6xdd91h167Pd40.html

woodturningjohn A shaving horse will work you pretty good, but a nice tool to have. I don't use it frequently, but when I do need it, it's there.

+Tim Walters Thanks for the link, they both look good. I'm sure they will come in handy for the projects you mentioned. Thanks again and good luck with your channel.

+DAVE M Thanks

Your welcome Rick, I don't use it every day, but it's always enoyable to work on a shaving horse, thanks for watching.

Richard Wells Thanks Richard, it's a nice little shave horse to use.

While I did build it, it was HEAVILY inspired. www.greenwoodworking.com/ShavingHorsePlans That's the link to the design I used to get me going. I tweaked it a little with the tension knob and turning my legs. There's a cool drawing on there too that you can print to have in the shop with you.

Thanks

Robert Šrámek Thanks.

Robin Caudle Good deal, I also want to make your style shave horse for doing some windsor chairs. Thanks for watching.

The Homestead Craftsman I did not expect you to respond so quick, thanks. How do you do this work all day? I have to have a full time job. I am just not motivated to do it all day, guess I am lazy or just burnt out, LOL. But seriously how can you make a living with the woodworking? I have several designs of my own but every time I make something someone in the family wants it and I make nothing. I thought about Etsy or ebay or even a channel here on youtube but I see so much talent here I am not sure. Any advice is appreciated.

Well first off, there's always going to be someone better. So don't give that any thought, if you want to make a channel, make a channel. People will relate to you regardless of your skill level and will enjoy seeing the channel and your skills grow. As far as doing this work all day, I don't. I do a lot of different stuff. But the most relevant answer most likely is..... no family, cats, dogs, car payments, etc. I live a very low cost lifestyle right now. There's nothing wrong with these things, but I just don't have them....yet. At the moment I am working on: building my table business, growing the youtube channel and working on my house (which is paid for) so the reason I am able to do this stuff is because I don't have to spend time coming up with money to pay for all the stuff that most people are paying for. Most people seem to be at work to pay for all the stuff sitting in at around their house and in the parking lot of where they work. Of course in time, my financial responsibilities will grow but I'm working on building up the ability to pay for them before I take them on. My furniture is just part of my income and the hardest money to come by. Making a lot of money at your job is great, but the important thing is what you do with the money you have regardless if it is a little or a lot. After you work all day and pay taxes on that money going and spending it on something that is not necessary is crazy. That "first" money should be invested in some way, whether it's in your business, starting a business, real estate, traditional investing, etc. That's sort of a vague reveal of how I do what I do. But don't think I'm Mr money bags, it mostly comes down to my living costs are so low. But for me, and I know I'm repeating myself, the most important thing is building a financial base and keeping costs low. As Dave Ramsey says, "live like no other so you can live like no other" or something like that. As far as how I do the woodworking. I sell out of 3 stores, just got the 3rd one about a month ago. So I only sell locally and I only make the tables and benches to go with them. I make other things, but for my business it's just the tables. I advertise in local magazines some, have a websites, pass out business cards and my stuff is kind of expensive, selling stuff for cheap is a bad idea. The more expensive it is the better you network is, each person I sell a table to also has friends that can afford them, so I get word of mouth advertising that actually produces sales. I've also sold stuff on etsy, small stuff, cutting boards and chop sticks, and while I was selling chopsticks for far more than people should pay it's too much running around to the post office. Not that you couldn't make it work, but I think your looking at several years of growing your etsy shop before it gets to a bare minimum. The thing that makes my business work is making the same thing again and again, I've got it down, I make the tables very fast...very fast. But it's because I have worked out each step to about as efficient as I can get it for my tools. I make a table, deliver it and take photos, then use that photo in ads and people just say "I want the table in the photo" Another advantage is I premake parts, legs, apron boards, etc. Then when someone orders a table from me directly, I just grab the right parts and assemble a table. It's a custom table, but from parts I already have made. Well I think this is enough of a response, probably more than you want, but it's as good of a response as I can offer. Feel free to ask any questions if you'd like. Thanks for the questions.

The Homestead Craftsman As I said any advice is appreciated and you did fine, thank you. I have a lot of what you don't when it comes to finances, wife, kids, bills I don't need.

The Homestead Craftsman I really like what you wrote.

+Stephen Zevetchin Yall will have fun, making and using them

I dug the pond by hand, just kidding. It was dug about 90 years ago for watering tobacco by my Great Grandfather. It's small but a great little pond, has surpirsingly big fish in it. And it does make for a nice background for filming! Thanks.
