[edit]

I think this here should be the master. Shaveing horse a redirect. And "Schnitzelbank" for the song. (I write now an article in German about this german-american song.) Good source for the history of the song is [1] The singerin is also here. And on youtube are songs. Sometimes called "Schnitzelbock". And attention, there is also the Fasnacht-Schnitzelbank, the verses. --Franz (Fg68at) de:Talk 02:16, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shaving horse gets way more google hits and sounds like the right name. I will go ahead and merge this into that. Objections? Actually this is a duplicate article, pure and simple. I might just boldly do it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:28, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Shaving horse seems to be a US name and in the UK it's always a shave horse. I love the way that Google is now the arbiter of accuracy and you intend to delete the referenced article in favour of the unreferenced one. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:37, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the "Safety" section

[edit]

The warning not to use a circular saw while on a shave horse seems superfluous, somewhat akin to a warning label on an electric toaster not to use it in the bathtub. Are shave horse/circular saw accidents such a common occurrence that they merit this warning? What about chain saws? One such could be even more dangerous, and I believe it is an often used tool with those who work with green wood. Maybe there is some special reason why people would be tempted to use a circular saw while on a shave horse, but I fail to gather from the article what such a reason might be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.251.96.191 (talk) 23:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
