Japanese saw horses
floor horses
This post comes from my Japanese saw horses blog.
It all started by me reading Toshio Odate’s book ‘Japanese woodworking tools their tradition spirit and use’, and now since I have moved to a new location where I at least for a while will have no workshop, the story will continue since I plan on using Japanese tools and methods in the meantime.
Pictures:
1. The horses ready for use.
2. Marking up for the project.
3. Using the kanna (Japanese plane).
4. Get the picture…
5. Details.
6. And more to come from the blog.
I hope this could be to some inspiration, perhaps some Japanese saw horses.
Best thoughts,
MaFe

Mads: Instead of making saw ponies, you should be concentrating on the Monday nudes. That way we can get some more pics over to this morally dysfunctional country.
Nice work Mads.

Hi Mads. Nice to see your shop made tool still grows.
Nice one.
@ BTW, is Madts your cousin? ”...morally dysfunctional country….”
Are there any other kind?

I like the pony idea. Both the coinage, which I hope catches on, and the construction which is functional and elegant.

Very interesting idea, but the sounds of bones creaking and popping and groans caused by muscles
getting stiff will make me take a wide detour around this one. As usual you made some great looking
shop additions, thank you for sharing.
