Got the plans, now to get the wood.
Seem simple in design, I have the space in my trailer ready for them.Always learning, and some teaching along the way.
@basswood – congrats on the award! Your sawhorse design is definitely well thought out and the plans are quite helpful as well.

In the process of building them now. I have them cut out glued, all the 3/4″ holes are in, and all the 3″ holes are drilled. I still need to get my drill press out and drill the 4″ holes. I built two 6′ models.
It does take some time to build them. Just the layout takes some time. I have almost 8 hrs total aprox, of working on and off not production style.
I have used them on a job (even though they are not finished) and they work great. I need to finish them with a water proof finish so they don’t swell when wet. On the way to the job site we had some rain and they did not want to fit together very well. Still worked with some encouragement.
I like them and am going to build more including the heavy horse version.Always learning, and some teaching along the way.

Fayetteville, NCI would go take photos but they are in my work trailer parked on the job site. I will take some tomorrow.
Always learning, and some teaching along the way.
I finally took some photos of these sawhorses I built. I really like them now after using them for a bit. I like them because there is a lot more room to work on. Also hanging tools from the holes is really nice.
They also set up easily on uneven terrain.
We have found that setting them up opposite of each other makes it more stable.
This winter I am going to finish them off, most likely exterior paint. Maybe a rubber coating on the legs.Always learning, and some teaching along the way.

Very cool Tom. It does look like a great design. I need to build a set.

I’ve got the plans for these as well but I like the Overanlyze’s table so much I haven’t built them yet… not sure that I will.

@protom how wobbly is the single leg end with a heavy item like that brake on it?
