Thread: frame and foot sawhorses

Doh!

I think I might just screw the packer there permanently.... now why didn't I think if that before?

It's on loan, and no I can't describe myself as a "rider" yet... but one day soon!

I don't think I ever will be. A mate of mine here dresses up as a clown on occation and performs for kids. Had a go on his bike one day and came down like a tonn of bricks.

Just built these now using scrap I got from work. The sizes I had suited regular saw horses. But I did put a shelf piece of sorts below as a brace. Got that idea from the fine woodworking site there. Felt I didn't have to brace the ends as usual with that bit there.

Want to make another 2 pair yet. Might make them like the fine woodworking site. Less jointing.

Made these last sunday.

I couldn't go past the previous design. Bottom piece sitting in dadoes locks it all up. Like it. Thin, light, last for ever.
