Proving once again that the only thing better than a deck screw is a drywall screw, and with inspiration from here;

Here's my attempt at a standing shaving horse. So far it seems to work pretty well, though it could use some additional support on the Underground Lair's uneven floor. $8.00 US if you don't count the screws, which I already had.

I hope this isn't the wrong place for this. I looked around and wasn't sure where exactly it should go, and there is a bow on it in one pic... :D

That's awesome. I've been thinking of making one of these for a long time. Don't think I didn't notice that holmegaard/mollegabet. ;)

Glad ya like it guys! The original French version had what looks like twisted leather loops (mine are just scraps from my leather pile), but I think any good stout hardware store rope should work. Or even webbing?
Ryoon, what you don't see is me chipping about a third of the width of that lever off the Mollegabet before I learned how to position my foot securely :'(. Not to worry, it'll still be a shooter, just custom :D.
