Planing stop
for one wild shaving horseThis is my version of a classic old planing stop. These stops can be found in different forms – back in early scripts and even found archaeological excavations, here in Europe.This post is for you Don W , since you mentioned it, in your comment, I thought I would post it for inspiration. Smiles.It's made from a piece of car coil spring, simply forged flat in one end, and as a square nail in the other – teeth cut and then bend.Works perfectly fine, I made it for use on my one wild shaving horse and to bring into nature, to be used on a splitted log, as a primitive workbench hold, but have only tested it on the workbench, in the shop.
At the shaving horse, I'll simply make a hole and bang it in, then raise or lower by beating under or over.
Simple as can be.

Hope it can be to some inspiration, perhaps even some stops.Best thoughts,MaFe
