I’m hoping the images upload

Well the last lot came through in a different order lol but at least we can see them 🙂

I’ve yet to sort the pictures showing the completed saw horse/bench, but they simply show the final trim (Legs trimmed to length, plywood braces in place and addition of the crotchet), plus cleanup of surplus glue prior to finishing with two coats of danish oil.

Thanks Gary nice job buddy 🙂

Much depends on the tradition/school in which you trained, as well as personal preference. 🙂 My saw horses tend to draw level with my knee @ 22″ in height, which also falls in line with a good step-up height if carrying out overhead work on site. Much higher and the saw horse can tend to be impractical for ripping/cross-cutting heavier timbers by hand.

Trestles on the other hand tend to be taller. 🙂

Hi Guys

Using the Link Jesper posted for the Chris  Schwarz saw bench I purchased enough PAR redwood from my local timber merchant  to build two benches, The cost for the two benches was £22.10 a bit more than I think you guys in the US would have to pay.  I have only built the one at present, it was a good project to hone my relatively new hand wood working skills, which by the way was brought about after attending Paul’s training courses in Wales. I have put far to much time and care in to building a saw bench but it is the fun of making it that I find satisfying. I will attempt to add a photo, this is my first post so not even sure that this will work

Very nicely done David 😉

I’d only make one recommendation for prospective future builds and that would be to also skew the legs toward the adjacent end of the horse.  This method is illustrated in the pics I posted earlier and  makes for a less “tippy” experience (Too much weight at one end whilst working and the saw horse can tip like a see-saw) and the saw still easily clears the legs during use.  Plus it can safely be used as a hop-up if ever you’re doing overhead work such as architrave, shelving, picture rails, etc.. 🙂
