Sawhorses!!!

So, I am done with Pioneer. Not really how I would have liked to be, however. I have had a cough for roughly a month, and I have noticed lately that it gets worse though out the week, and then gets better over the weekend. Turns out I have allergy induced bronchitis. So, no more work.

Today, I started the adventure. I need sawhorses, cause trying to join 4 pieces of 6"x6" on the garage floor would be a disaster. A quick trip to the Home Depot, and I had a handful of cull lumber, enough to make a saw horse or two... only spent $3 on it too.

Now, a normal person would buy a handful of nails or screws, throw the thing together, and get on with life.

I decided I would build a solid workhorse, with complex joints all cut by hand to give me some practice. Should have known better.

First off, I am missing several important tools. A wood rasp (like a file for wood), an angle square, amongst some others.

Second, cutting straight pieces with no way to accurately measure angles, no way to hold work, and a dull saw blade involves some fancy contortion and creative use of whatever means to prop pieces off the floor. I am afraid I did not succeed as well as I had hoped.

Throw into the mix some silly mistakes (mostly slight measuring errors), and it is not the most stellar example of my work. But it is sturdy as hell, and will do the job.
