Have always wanted one of these and made it today for a total of $13.64. I used 2’’ x 6’’ and 2’’ x 4’’ pressure treated lumber, 3/8’’ bolts/washers/nuts and an old 1’’ fiberglass broom handle for the dowels. Someone here posted a similar version of this and I thank them for the inspiration.
This one is 6’ long and 2’ high. I still need to make some kind of seat for it and may just put an old bicycle seat on it. Give it some class!
This was very easy to make and can hardly wait to make a really nice one. A show-piece.
Thanks for looking

I love this one. I have wanted to build one but keep delaying until I have time to do it. You’ve inspired me to build a simple one and get started instead of waiting to build a fancy one. Thanks for the idea.

I like it….especially the price…way to go.
A suggestion for the seat, if you are patient you might be able to find an old tractor seat….just an idea?

Love when I see someone having a go at one of these horses for shaving….great stuff and nice work….enjoy the exercise and many great shavings! Nothing still beats the old school ways of our past generations of craftspeople.
Enjoy it!
