A woodworker's favorite nationwide. This originally designed Rocking Horse by Lewis Jewell of “Family Tradition Ponys,” has been a favorite for all the staff here at Shopsmith and for many of our customers...young and old.

You can now build this family heirloom at the Shopsmith National Woodworking Academy during our newly designed “Rocking Horse” three-day class. This three day, fun filled woodworking course is especially designed for all levels of woodworkers from beginners to advanced. Your Rocking Horse will be constructed of Red Oak and will be enhanced with inlayed walnut bridle and belly straps. (see photo) This is the project that can be passed on from generation to generation.
