Instead of the long flat “clamp” piece, I think he needs to make it more like the traditional shave horse. Which is a small to medium square block with a “V-Noch” cut within it.
This thread is quite old, but I thought I’d share a brilliant little shavepony I saw on a video I watched on Youtube last night:
The shavepony starts at 11:07 in the video. This is the best one I’ve seen yet, as it is small, held in the vise, and seems to work well enough for a production chair maker’s shop.
Like many of us here, I suspect, I don’t have room for a full size shavehorse. This may fit the bill.
