A good pair of sawhorses is worth their weight in gold. No workshop, construction site, or DIYer should be without at least one pair of simple, stackable sawhorses.<\/p>\n

Sawhorses make perfect supports for cutting lumber, plywood, or pretty much anything else. Add a plywood board between them and you\u2019ve got an ideal makeshift workspace. Clamp a 2 x 6 in between and you\u2019ve got a sturdy elevated platform to stand and work from.<\/p>\n

Some folks have even taken to using them indoors for a rustic looking desk or table. Sanding and staining these sawhorses would work well if you had that in mind.<\/p>\n

There are a hundred different ways to make sawhorses, but if you\u2019ve got spare wood lying around, why not use it to make your sawhorses. In this case, I used a few spare 2 x 4s, as well as an extra 4 x 4 fence post.<\/p>\n

These sawhorses are pretty basic and no-frills and require a minimal number of tools and materials. Also, they shouldn\u2019t take more than a few hours to complete.<\/p>\n

Despite that, I\u2019d put them up against any other sawhorses out there!<\/p>\n
