Watch this tool demo video to see how a woodworker uses a draw knife and shaving horse to smooth and shape wood for making shingles, pegs, tables, chair legs and other necessary household items.

Transcript of movie: To hold the wood steady the woodworker uses a shaving horse. With his foot the woodworker tilts the vertical piece forward to clamp down on the wood being worked.
