Sawhorse 1.
The first saw horse set was constructed to accommodate the truck toper. It was built from scrap
2x6's and scrap 2x4's.
Materials
2 - 2x6's cut to 49" long.
4 - 2x4's cut to 30-1/2" long.
Cut the 2"x6" boards to a length of 49 inches. Cut the 2"x4" boards to a length of 30-1/2 inches.
Bevel one end of each 2x4 such that the bevel starts 3-1/2" from the end and leaves 3/8" thickness
at the end.
Attach the legs such that the beveled end is 2" from the top of the 2"x6" board. Use 3/8" diameter
bolts to attach the legs to the 2x6 board. Drill 3/8" holes through the legs and 2x6 board for the
bolts to go through. This makes for easy disassembly and allows for flat storage of the saw horses.
Sawhorse 2.
The second saw horse set was constructed as general use sawhorses. Since the first set was used for
storage and was too high for general use and the need for sawhorses makes building building projects
easier, the second set of sawhorses were constructed. General construction was the same as the
first set of sawhorses except they were constructed to remain together.
Materials
8 - 2x4's cut 24 inches long.
2 - 2x4's cut 34-1/2 inches long.
4 - 1x4's cut 4-3/4 inches at top and 6-5/8 inches at bottom.
4 - 1x4's cut 12 inches at top and 13-3/4 inches at bottom.
4 " 8 penny nails.
Cut 8 2x4's to a length of 24 inches for the legs. Bevel the legs such that the bevel starts
3-1/2 inches from the top end and into the top end with only 1/2 inch of it left.
Cut 2 2x4's to a length of 34-1/2 inches long. Attach four legs to each 34-1/2 inch 2x4 with
8 penny nails such that the edge of the legs is even with the top of the 2x4 345-1/2" long.
The 1x4's are used to brace the legs. Cut 4 1x4's such that the sides angle with the legs.
Cut them with the top edge 4-3/4 inches long and the bottom 6-5/8 inches long. This brace will
fit just under the top 2x4 that is 34-1/2 inches long. Attach with 4 penny nails.
The lower braces are cut 12 inches at the top and 13-3/4 inches at the bottom. Nail these braces
to the legs flush with the edge of the legs.
