Saw HorseSaw HorseI was given a few pallets by a neighbour, split a couple of them for the timber and with some of this made a saw horse.
It's modelled on one my Dad built more than 20 years ago which has finally fallen to bits!
Re: Saw HorseSturdy job. Should do nicely
Now you have an heirloom to pass down to your kids Dom Ali Woks My World
Re: Saw HorseNice one
I think I'll make one myself (from your photo of course) at the weekend. Michael
Re: Saw HorseThanks, all.
True, Dom, but I'll have to make sure they don't try to inherit early! Re: Saw Horse
Michael, in case you wanted or needed to know, I used M8 coach bolts for the pivots and to attach the cross / bracing struts with a penny washer behind each nut to stop it from digging in. I used screws to fix the two pieces of each brace together and to attach the side rails, but did consider re-using some of the ringshank nails I salvaged when splitting the pallets. Jonathan
Re: Saw HorseI think your saw horse is fantastic.

Dont ever grow up, its a trap
Re: Saw Horse
Thanks, HappyBob. I'd promised my Dad ages ago that I'd make a replacement for the one that fell to bits but had been putting it off until I could get hold of some cheap wood. It was only when my neighbour gave me the pallets and I read on here about other people's pallet projects that it occurred to me I could give it a go.
Re: Saw HorseNice job Jonny it never ceases to amaze me what a plain run of the mill pallet can be turned into Linda
And then there was one, Again!!!!
