drawing of sawhorses?

[trojlee]

Anyone have a good drawing on how to build simple/stable sawhorses?

The simplest.
Saw 4 legs. Cut a board 120. Nail a strip to the bottom edge of the board.
Now you can attach the first leg. The leg will not go straight down; it will lean outward. Due to the strip.

It wasn't the easiest Lolight?!

If you have unlimited money, the easiest thing is to buy several:

Stable as heck. I've had mine at several parties as serving tables (masonite on the SJ-pallet though) you might spill your drink if there's just regular oilcloth on the pallets!!

I built these, withstands 600kg gypsum

Ignore the bevel angle. When they are finished, place on an even surface and place a pencil on the floor possibly with a block under it, so that it reaches up to the shortest leg.

Draw a line around all the legs, saw along the lines and presto, all legs have the correct length and angle.

Absolutely the easiest:

I make mine solely from 28x70 lumber. A horizontal and an upright piece are screwed together to create the top rail. I screw in four legs, which then become slanted, with four screws in each leg. Done!

These are excellent as they can be stacked and are easy to carry. I'm personally surprised at how much these can withstand, at least several hundred kilos. I've had a pair for 5 years, heavily used in my business. They still don't show any signs of being wobbly.

Swedish Wood has some descriptions in its brochure:

One lying flat and one on edge are screwed together to create the top rail.
I screw four legs, which are then slanted, with four screws in each leg.
Done!

No "crossbar" between the legs on each end, which seems to be the norm?
Sounds very simple and convenient, worth trying out. I like the stackability.

I make mine solely from 28x70 timber.
A horizontal and a vertical piece screwed together to create the top rail.
Screw in four legs, which will be angled, with four screws in each leg.
Done!

These are great as they can be stacked and are easy to carry.
I'm personally surprised by how much these can hold, at least several hundred kilos.
I've had a pair for 5 years, extensively used in my company. They still don't show any signs of being wobbly.

Can you spare a picture?

But I agree, glespanel is the real all-round timber

No "crossbar" between the legs on each short side as seems to be customary? Sounds very simple and convenient, will have to try it sometime. I like the stackability.

No crossbars, or anything else, than what I wrote.

 

[AG A]

Can you offer a picture?

But I agree, sparse paneling is the real all-round timber

If you can wait until tomorrow morning

Can you share a picture?

But I agree, sparse paneling is the real all-round-wood

Here is the promised picture. I screwed together a new one since the other was at work. The trestles are made of 6 pieces, each 80 cm long 28x70, screwed with 55mm decking screws.

Build like this. Easy to replace the rule at the top if you have damaged it.
