A wee project for the weekend was makign some sawhorses. The builders
left some wooden ones behind 5 years ago, and they are finally
expiring. they also take a lot of room when you don't need them. I
made a pair with folding legs, where the legs fold parallel with the
top so the whole lot can live in the rafters between times.

WOW! Those are "Military Grade" sawhorses if I ever saw some.
I'm betting that you could actually put a horse on them, and
saw him in two.

Nice job!

AHh, so you have gone for saw-hore breeding. Takes longer than merely
cloning them like I did :-)

Had my full four horse hitch in use today - mitering some trim for
SWMBO's redecorating project. One pair supporting my outdoor work
bench (long palette) with the mitre box screwed down, and the other
pair built up with scrap to support the loose end of the work piece.
These horses started life shetland pony size, but I had to give them
longer legs to mount my compost sifter above the one wheel dump truck.

Back in the Nam era, when I did a brief stint in charge of a precision
jobbing machine shop making parts for defense contractors, we figured
that the motto of GE's incoming inspection department must have been:

"Todays's rejections are tomorrow's jobs."
