This is important to ensure that the saw horses will be the height you desire. Figure out the proper length of your saw horses’ legs. Then, set your saw at the proper angle, line the blade up at the line, and make your cut. Quickly square a straight line across the widest surface of each leg and about 1/4 inch from the end to serve as a guide. Given that my angle was 30 degrees, the cut had to be 15 degrees. Once you’ve got your leg separation angle set, you’ll need to cut the top of each leg at an angle that’s half that. Cut the tops of your saw horse’s legs at an angle. Markings like these make setting your circular saw blade angle easy. The distance from your palm to the ground is approximately the height your saw horses should be. Then, without moving the rest of your arm, flex your wrist until your hand is horizontal, palm facing down.
4 (3-inch) door hinges with removable pins.When you’re done working, you’ll be able to close the legs and store them snugly against a wall or in a tight space until you need them again. So if space in your house or apartment is at a premium, foldable saw horses are the way to go, even if building them is slightly more complicated. Rigid saw horses are the simplest-often nothing more than five pieces of wood nailed together-but they take up a lot of room with their permanently splayed legs. They’re even more valuable if you don’t have a lot of space or a dedicated work area in your home. Just set ‘em up, drop something flat on top (maybe a piece of wood or a sturdy, flattened box), and you’ve got a work surface ready for woodworking, wiring electronics, or pretty much anything you’d do on a table. Saw horses are a must-have for every serious DIYer, whether you’re actually using a saw or not.
