Basically it is a variant of the knock-down sawhorse you have on your site, except the cleats are set at an angle so that you get the additional stability of the two-way bracing effect. "I plan to make a pair using 2 in. stock, and in addition put a long brace at the bottom of the supports with a ring that I can hook a cable between with a turnbuckle on to resist additional spreading forces from extra heavy loads, which I have.

Thanks for all of the great plans. I have been using them and they sure do save me a lot of time..... I was wondering if you happen to have any Intarsia Patterns. I would like to try my hand at a few of these.... Thanks Very nice site! Thanks for all of the great plans. I have been using them and they sure do save me a lot of time…..

My older replys above in the list [b]should be deleted[/b] because I changed ISPs a few months ago. Refined the plans of my horse - into a single .pdf page. Please feel free to copy and keep it. No telling how long my present Web page will be up. http://members.toast.net/bulfrog4/dir2/oksaw.pdf Added from above comment which was deleted: "I’ve got a better sawhorse than any that I’ve seen here - or elsewhere on the Internet. Extremely strong, superior for scaffolding or to stand on, no nails to cut through while rip cutting. I’ve used the design for 30 yrs. but it probably originated in Oklahoma City 40-50 yrs ago." -TCeditor I see the site has been updated since my last visit.

It's actually a Vika Artur adjustable-height table base. It looks and works like a medium-duty sawhorse, and the clever height adjustment uses a simple screw-clamp arrangement to grab a 3/4" (approx.) thick tee-rail part that holds the table top when used as directed. This works dandy as-is, but the clamping arrangement means that one could replace the tee-rail part with any sort of homemade specialized work holder to clamp in the base. It's a marvelous design that could easily be copied to a heavier-duty version. The best part is, they had them on sale at 5 bucks each. I bought six.
