It's interesting to see someone taking something that I try to avoid

Of course, he did get just the product he wanted, and obviously this is

Nice. Math was my strongest subject in college and it comes in handy
at times in the shop. My two sawhorses were made from ShopNotes. They
are collapsible and adjustable, made from 2x6 and 2x4 lumber, knobs,
and some hardware. I use them a lot.
