Default Any Sawhorse Plans?

"Bob Davis" wrote in message link.net...
I've built several different styles of sawhorses. I found that no matter
what style or size I chose, I was constantly battling the balance between
stability, size and storage space. When you go for foldup or collapsable
styles, you begin giving up stability, in my experience.

Recently, Home depot and Lowe's started carrying a collapsable steel
sawhorse that is absolutely marvelous in how little space it takes, yet is
very stable. I decided I could not do better than a pair of these. They
cost about $19/each, have adjustable height, and measure 2" x 6" x 38" when
folded up. You can bolt a wood work surface to the top.

I got a pair of these myself. They are wonderful... Once setup. Does
anyone have a better idea for quick assembly and disassembly to
replace the &*$%! wing nuts that are standard? My meat hooks fumble
around with these things too much. I tried looking for a cauter(sp?)
pin, but couldn't find one that would work right. Maybe some kind of
quick-release nut that doesn't require spinning.

Or, I could just suck it up and stop bitching
