We recently got a sawhorse plan submission from a reader named Richard, to add to our 38 Sawhorse Plans. First he sent in pics of the inspiration that he saw in an old nursery – I added those to the comments.

Then he sent detailed pictures and build notes of his design (below), which looks like it has a shortened stretcher and spent several years power lifting and taking steroids.

He says “For a take-down sawhorse, I think this is the ‘Ultimate Sawhorse.’”

I agree.

It’s a brilliant design and looks strong as an ox. If you agree, and you build one, please call it “the Richard” in his honor. This beast will compliment any contractor out on the jobsite – it’s probably a bit too burly for the average DIYer.
