JohnB Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm going to see if this works for me.....OK, I have to resize them.... This is one of the first pieces I did, I was 7 years old. Made from scrap wood out of the wood pile. It's 3/4" X 1/2" X 5 1/2" long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 These are the shaving vice study I'm doing. I might turn the finished one into a Bodger's horse. This has 2 moving parts, clamp and treadle, it's 2"X5"X61/2". This is made from a hickory branch I borrowed from the burn pile. , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Will the vise be one you could use? Thanks for the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately wood that big around here would be already cut for the woodburner. I did make one that was full sized for a friend several years ago, but I have no idea what happened to it.

Janel Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I wondered what a Bodger's horse might be and found a topic on a forum about green woodworking called Bodger's Asked and Answered HERE on this page. It is good to know that folks are having fun with carrying on the use of old style hand tools. Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trained by an old man from Germany, he made furniture and custom woodwork. He had several different types of horses. You name it he probably had it in that shop. Just one powered saw, an industrial tablesaw, the rest was by hand. He's the one that got me into carving and restoration work I learned alot from him in the 5 years I spent there!!. I thought it would be cool to craft models of whatever kind of unusual woodworking tool I can find a picture of, or see. I've seen alot of them in museums and Williamsburg, among other villages. There's one in Ontario I saw several years ago, all I have to do is find the pictures of it, they're in a box somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
