Thane,
The Shaving hoarse is easy to make and yes the dumb head height is adjustable to allow for use with items of different thickness. The dumb head was made from a small crooked Ash as well as the legs.
I will look around to see what I have left for pegs, I know I have a few extra pegs that were used in a 14" deep header. If I remember correctly, I cut the Oak billets to 13" lengths for making pegs to go with 8" timbers.
Hi Tim,
I don't think you would say it's all that fancy if you see it in person, and at over 6' it takes up a lot of space. I was really happy my daughter wanted to help.
I would be very interested in a picture of your portable Shaving hoarse if you get a chance.
Thanks.
