Hi

I've never really been a trestle sort of person, but am thinking about
making some. And I figured I might as well make the best I can. So...
What size timber is best? Is timber best?
Are there any familiar features to incorporate?
Any wish-list features you dont usually see but would be handy?
Any design dos and donts?


Assuming you mean a saw horse sort of trestle, I got some of these:

Just add 5 lengths of 4x2, once you've cut the legs it takes 2 minutes
to assemble and break down if you're short on storage space.
