''Guide du travail manuel du bois''. By Bernard Bertrand. The shavehorse is a useful device used mainly by green woodworkers. The book is in French but well illustrated so monoglots should be able to understand with the aid of a dictionary. I met the author recently who said he may bring out a version in English next year. Price € 35 includes 1 hr DVD.

Am I right in thinking that the French call it a "shave goat" not a shave horse ?
According to the book, the French term is 'banc a planer' but there are many regional variations, for instance in the Poitou region where I reside it is a 'loup' (= wolf, because it bites). Names of drawknives:
In Germany- Zugmesser.
Spain- rasoira, or rasera
Portugese- quitelo
In French it is a 'plane', not a plane as in English which is a 'rabot'. Hope that is clear!
