Nice horseys. Wish I woulda thunk to use walnut on mine…

Nice. I am making a pair (in Ash) too based on the article in FWW. I am about half way done and I hope mine turn out as nice as yours.

Wow those look like fine furniture,very cool

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Very nice, I think I may make myself a pair of these too.

Great horses…....are you going to use these in the house for maybe a temp table or something? They’re too nice to beat up in the shop!!!

-- Doug, New Mexico.......the only stupid question is one that is never asked!........don't fix it, if it ain't broke!

Nice Ponies, love the sapwood. Too many people want to cut it out or dye it, I love the natural Walnut.

-- Dan-- Info for all @ http://www.hoistman.com

Yes, will be using them in the shop, although i did contemplate making them a base for a desk. Easy to replicate.
The sapwood is awesome in walnut, I have grown to love it more and more lately.

-- Andy Brownell

are they for when you move the work into the liveingroom

Thats nice. My sawhorses have a lot of cuts on them. I would feel bad about cutting into these and I bet you will too.

Hey with horses like those – perhaps I can talk the better half into allowing me to work in the living room? Those are just too darn nice to use for hackin on 2×4s or sheets of OSB/Ply/MDF.

I noticed that Shop Notes had some of these style horses this month also. I have the old fashion kind….guess I need to upgrade my stuff – or suffer the indignity of being out of date.

The way it looks, I will need to stop making my jigs from mdf or ply and start using wenge or bocote….gotta keep up with the Jones’s…..lol…

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

I also have the old kind, left over by our contractors during renovation. They take up so much space. I was eyeing these. Maybe in red oak. It would kill me to make an accident if they were in walnut.

Andy, I am impressed. I daresay most of us would simply have opted for construction lumber- cheap, readily available and no crying if it takes a pounding. These are beautiful and, I am with Dan on the sapwood, it adds such a nice contrast that I enjoy seeing it used in a project.

Surely these are going in the living room and not the shop!

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Beautiful lumber, beautiful workhorses.
I’m too scared to use and abuse em’!

I needed them today, was painting the copulas. LOL And to think, I didn’t even want to get any paint on my plastic pony’s. They are beautiful. BZ

Don’t dare do much with walnut in my shop because the shop is on my daughters horse ranch and walnut is an enemy to horses.

-- Dudley Young USN Ret.

I’ll probably avoid cutting on these, and use them for milling, and stacking lumber. They are also a great additional work surface for elevating work away from my bench. Yeah, they should have a better fate, but even with the cuts and dings, they’ll still look good. Some guys opt for a tool cabinet, i decided to go overboard with sawhorses first! ;)

-- Andy Brownell

You did a great job on these Andy. I saw that article in FWW and thought I might build them myself. They really look handy for a lot of different tasks. Yours look too good for the shop, but why not? The walnut is really beautiful wood.

-- Mike, American in Norway

A well made set of horses… something you will be using in the shop for quite a while.

Very elegant. What a nice way to treat yourself in the woodshop! I would love to have some horses like that.
