Many thanks Ken This type of saw horse is extremely versatile, capable of withstanding heavy work loads and is far more straight forward to make than the one prescribed by Chris Schwarz. It also amounted to £2.36 for the leg timber, a dollop or three of poly glue, four nails and the top was made using a 36” long piece of scrap 6×2 joisting timber I had laying around, but could just as easily be made using floorboard scraps (The usual source when on sitework) or edge jointed 3×2, as well as new timber.

Quantities are;
36” = 6”x2”
144” (8’) = 3”x1.5”
1/2” Plywood @ 8” x 20”
Round or oval nails @ 2” x 4no
Exterior grade PVA (I used polyurethane glue)

Most of the work is done once the halving joints are laid out and cut into the top to receive the legs and then it’s a case of offering the legs up to be marked and fitted.
