Build the Ultimate Wood Sawhorses

While saw horses are typically something you'd think of finding on a job site, they can be especially useful in the workshop. A good set of sawhorses can be used as the base for a temporary table, to hold a portable table saw, to stack lumber...the list goes on and on.

The sawhorses in this plan are versatile, very sturdy, and quite easy to build. Once you have a set, you'll never run out of things you can do with them, even after you've completed building your perfect workshop.
