A wee project for the weekend was makign some sawhorses. The builders left some wooden ones behind 5 years ago, and they are finally expiring. they also take a lot of room when you don't need them. I made a pair with folding legs, where the legs fold parallel with the top so the whole lot can live in the rafters between times. See sawhorse1.jpg, sawhorse2.jpg and sawhorse.txt in the
Neat job Geoff!

WOW! Those are "Military Grade" sawhorses if I ever saw some. I'm betting that you could actually put a horse on them, and saw him in two.
Nice job!

AHh, so you have gone for saw-hore breeding. Takes longer than merely cloning them like I did :-) Geoff
Had my full four horse hitch in use today - mitering some trim for SWMBO's redecorating project. One pair supporting my outdoor work bench (long palette) with the mitre box screwed down, and the other pair built up with scrap to support the loose end of the work piece. These horses started life shetland pony size, but I had to give them longer legs to mount my compost sifter above the one wheel dump truck. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

Back in the Nam era, when I did a brief stint in charge of a precision jobbing machine shop making parts for defense contractors, we figured that the motto of GE's incoming inspection department must have been:
"Todays's rejections are tomorrow's jobs."
