Saw horses
I spent a few evenings during the week constructing some very sturdy saw horses. I got this idea from looking at the saw horses that Walter used. I have sufficient experience with the standard 2×4 saw horse to know that I didn’t want to be building on them for the better part of a year. The ones that Walter used are made by a small company on the west coast that only distributes them out there. I couldn’t find them anywhere in Texas. So, I accepted the welcomed distraction to produce my own clone of their design. Here is a PDF of what I produced.
The cross members are made from 2×6 boards, the legs are from 1×8 boards (something other than white pine would be much better if you can find it), and the end gussets are from 1/8″ luan ply. I made jigs for most of the cuts and drilling of screws. They turned out super strong and steady. All parts were glued for rigidity. These were very simple to build, and lots of fun! I made three different widths all 24″ tall. I even made enough extra parts so I can put together another one if I find the need later.
