Saw horse plans

[junkman]

Anyone got a good set of plans with angles for legs etc ? I like tall ones about 36 inch tall so can make portable workbemch also ,anyone got some ideas ?

Would the manufactured brackets work? Just add legs and the top plate.

They used to tell me you could tell a good carpenter by his home made saw horse..... Mine suck.... Doubt you'd want my plans they wobble

I bought a set of those brackets, at least the ones I got were cheaply made.

All the saw horses we have around here were bought off of auctions and are very stout. I'd say the top of the legs are cut at a 45 then plywood gussets to strengthen them up with the bottom of the legs cut at 22.5

55 gal. drums work pretty good for portable work benches, or 33's if you want something shorter...
I don't even bother with the wood saw horses anymore, I like the adjustable height and width plastic foldable ones...saves a lot of space when im not using em!

I have a set i built ,but i ran the boards wild ,and hacked them off with a sawzall ,they look tacky ,and would like to have a respectable set .Used old oak pallets for the wood ,they are sturdy ,but ugly .

 

[P.M.P.]

I gots me some hammered together and believe they would have held a truck in there prime.
Seen some plans for some back in the ninety's used studs from a church remodeling job.
Should get some pics for ya.

build some out of pipe...they wont rock and can be taken apart...
we have built a lot of them similar to these but with no locking screw for the top pipe...

I've had a set of these for about 10 years now.

Wonder what these weigh ? May need some caster wheels on em . Could make these out of doug fir beams off my sawmill .

Brian,this is roughly what we would knock out on framing jobs out of cutoffs. Usually used plywood gussets at the top. The inverted "T" sets the angle right and you can splay the legs toward the ends to get a broader foot print.

 

[junkman]

these are pretty cool too

I didn't realize we were shopping for furniture
