Default Morris Doveys saw horse - DSC05360.JPG (0/1)

Sketch up only works on XP or newer, no W2K or older.

Would you repost the picture? Or give me a link? I might like
to build one. Googled "Morris Dovey Sawhorse" - got nothing.

Thanks,
Gary

I finally got around to making one of Morris's design sawhorse.
It
cost less than $10 to make. The height is right for a
handsaw.


I attempted to upload a SketchUp model of the sawhorse. You can
download the free version of SketchUp from Google - it makes for a nice
little 3D design app.

Things to note:

All boards are 30" long.
All angles are 10 deg.
A carriage bolt holds the single leg in place. This way it can pivot to
accommodate surfaces that are not level. But make sure it is tight
enough to stay in place.

Note that with a clamp squeezing the top of the sawhorse, the sawhorse
can be used as a clamp for any 2x piece of lumber.

Let me know if you have any other questions. The original website that
had this info appears to be gone...
