Project Information

The wife wanted a new dining table, and I wanted to be able to work indoor during the winter, so naturally the table is going to be a slab table larger than my small 2mx2m workshop :)

So after having bought some wood, next step is to build a set of sturdy sawhorses to build off.

The sawhorses are inspired by the shopdog horses using 2×4 and some scrap peices of pine i had laying around.

The sawhorses are wide enough to let me place both slabs next to each other, and at the same time allows me to build a router flattening jig around them.

I bought the plans for these sawhorses probably 5 years ago and never built them. What are your thoughts on them?

They are very sturdy, can easily place two large slabs on them and jump around on them, without them moving an inch.

Had no serious issues other than doing the compound miters on my table saw, witch is not the right tool for the job

Nice solution to your space problem.

actually yes they do fold up ;)

I remove the strap on to bottom rails, and remove to top bar, then they can collapse

If I'm seeing it right, it technically doesn't need the strap to stay open, correct? The "2×4" that serves as the spine acts as a key to prevent them from collapsing, no?

Edit: Disregard…I'm incorrect.

Hi Sam You are correct that you are incorrect :)

The strap holds everything together, think scissors…
