Sawhorses that are a good alternative to a workbench

Wow! I really like the design of those, they look great and quite sturdy!

Thanks, They worked great. I took them out to a gallery for their art walk and chiseled on them for quite awhile inlaying bowties with no problems.

Good sawhorses are always a good deal. Kinda like good footwear, everything above them runs, and works better. I agree no one should suffer unstable sawhorses.

The construction you used is easily applied to be used as a take down sawhorse. You have the space, but many here don’t, and with M&T that is pegged, or wedged they can easily be removed to knock these down to more easily stored parts. You should also point out to those who don’t feel they have enough room for a bench, making something like these can go a long way to allowing for support, and clamping of parts through a build, or assembly. Having 2 of these may in some cases be better than a bench.

I believe you have undersold the possibilities of these perhaps? I also think that using dowel, yes round, would allow for the same strength, and be more easily replaced in case of breakage as a wedge.

Nice sawbenches…

A very nice set of saw horses for all kinds of construction… from furniture to timber frame houses.

Wow, these are great. As someone with limited square footage in my shop and a strong desire to do more hand work, these would be great. Even better, I can set them up outside in the sun and enjoy the fresh air while I work.
