bowyers bench plans needed please
« on: November 12, 2008, 11:02:00 PM »
hiya all.
i am really keen to get hold of some plans, or ideas on building a bowyers bench.
i need them for a non profit bow making course to be held in south africa next june.
the students will be building their own benches, so simplicity and cost are factors to be considered.
thank you for your help.

I don't have plans, but here is one I built recently.  Just clamp the stave to the upright with squeeze clamps.

google "shaving horse" and you'll get a lot of plans.
