Learn how to make your own shave horse in the traditional English Bodgers style. Customised to suit your size and comfort, it will allow you to explore other greenwood crafts.

You will learn:

- to select suitable wood

- cut and shape wood to correct dimensions

- cutting mortice and tenon joints

- making legs stable and level

All materials will be provided, and you will spend the day making the component parts and fitting them together. The shave horse can be packed down to fit into your car at the end of the day.

Lunch and refreshments provided.
