Sawhorse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sawhorse is a beam with four legs. It is used to support a board or plank for sawing, with a pair useful to support a plank, forming a scaffold. A sawbuck is a similar device.
The sawhorse may be designed to fold for storage. A sawhorse with a wide top is particularly useful to support a board for sawing or as a field workbench. Devices resembling sawhorses are also sometimes painted with bright colors and fitted with flashing lights and used to block streets for road construction or other purposes.
A sawhorse can also be used as the base for a portable work table, by placing a sheet of 3/4" plywood on top of two sawhorses. If the sawhorses are strong enough, you can even use this portable table as a platform for tools like a table saw.
