What is this wooded thing called? Thanks

In German it's a Schnitzelbank. We have one similar in the wagonhouse, been there forever. Since my Mom's side of the family is of Austrian ancestry, I've never heard it called anything other than the German name.

It's also known as a shaving bench and shaving horse. They come in all sizes and shapes.

I"d call it a harness making bench! or a leather workers workbench!

It's a shaving horse. You puts yer wood under the clamp, puts yer feet on the foot rests, and shave off all the wood that doesn't look like what you want to make! Google Roy Underhill, the woodwright's shop, he's the clown prince, of PBS woodworking shows, uses all the old tools, to make furniture, etc.

It is one of my favorite German songs.

I was gonna go with an orange colored riding lawn mower, but DiyDave is right. You can find them on Roy Underhill's Woodwright Shop page.

I wish we still had an authentic German place around here. Busher's Wonderbar closed years ago.

Used similar devises around here to finish off shakes (singles) when every thing was done by hand.
