Three-in-One
Sawhorse |
|
Right out of the
gate, you can see this is no ordinary sawhorse. From its large worksurface
that has plenty of room for clamping, to the spacious tool storage
tray underneath, this is one versatile sawhorse. And take a look at
those metal legs. They’re strong as a Clydesdale when locked
into the sawhorse. But when it’s time to saddle up and ride
into the sunset, the legs can be removed for easy storage. |
And
you’ll be surprised how easy they are to make from common electrical
conduit.Even with the legs stored, this sawhorse can still pull its
weight and support yours as a stepstool. And with a handhold cut right
into the top, leading this pony from one place to another is a simple
one-handed operation. Best of all, you can build a whole stable of
these sawhorses in just a weekend’s work. All that’s required
are some common materials, a few basic tools, and a bit of horse sense. |
