sawhorse plans.

[joe-90]

After 20 years in the garden mine are about rotten.

To save me measuring the whole thing to make fresh ones - does anyone know where there are any plans so I can just make up a kit of parts?

Are there any other interesting projects worth building?

Cheers

Hi Joe !

I know I'm probably not your favourite person

....but it's nearly Christmas and the season of good will to all men, etc.....


....anyway, there's great plans for saw-stools and saw-horses in :

Manual of First and Second-fixing Carpentry by Les Goring, published by Elsevier Books. Good book to have in general anyway.

(P.S. my windows are made of timber !)

Hi Mike, it was all in good fun wasn't it?

I'll check out that book as I'm looking for a decent carpentry book.

I'm also looking for one that deals with roof timbers in design and practice.

Yes, I should hope so... fuelled by too much Guinness on my part....

If you track down a good book on roofing that's not American, let me know.....I could do with one.

That really is the "fugliest" deluks !

No shortage of plans out there though it seems....

unless you specifically want to make them, sawhorse brackets are available just fit timber,assemble as required,(don`t have to leave them in the garden)

Same question as Joe-90, but this time, for a saw horse thingy that's used for supporting small tree trunks whilst cutting them into logs? A bit like two 'X' ends joined together with some straight bits. A link to a suitable sketch would be useful. (I'd search google myself, but I don't know what these things are called).
Thanks.
