How do you get kids to sit and rive 60 pegs in an hour? I wouldn't think kids would have the pateince. Isn't it like punishment to them? Or do you place a Playstation in front of the horse? Is this a violation of child labor laws?

60 pegs! -- that's awesome. Oak? Green?

NO violation, family member. And a shaving horse is so far ahead of a play station, its not funny. There was one day he worked in the kitchen, shaving pegs for so long he had blisters. He has a self motivated drive. For the 60, I showed him the post and he said "no way it was 100" I said " come on, it was only 60" he said "probably". He was taking acccoustic up right base lessons and he rented the base, to pay for the rent he made pegs, a buck a peg. He would try and keep up with me when he was younger and now I have to keep up with him. I am not bragging with times, just sharing what is possible. I think, most folks think hand tool are slower, which they are, but they are also very efficient, and often more effective. As is the case with pegs. My experience with sawn and turned is grain run off. Tim
