drawing of sawhorses?

Borrowing the thread. I saw some stylish trestles for benches today. They have a slightly more delicate but more advanced construction.
How do you think they went about making these? Did they carve out the top piece to get the right angle for the legs? How can you ensure getting the right angle every time?

These I have built from 45x70
The legs are cut at an angle at the top and screwed against an unsawn topper.
The plywood board supports the weight and provides stability to the legs.
Stackable.

Here comes the promised picture. Assembled a new one since one was at work. The sawhorses are made of 6 pieces of 80 cm long 28x70, screwed with 55mm decking screws.

Thanks!



This is how mine turned out. Used boards from old benches. So instead of messing with old screws, mine are 75 cm instead.
