How to Make a Hinged Wood Sawhorse

Building a sawhorse that can be folded is any easy project that provides you with a valuable tool for almost any other project. It is comprised of two triangular-shaped legs with a horizontal board across the top center. Using two sawhorses with a plywood sheet on top creates an instant work bench that is easily transported. Metal sawhorse brackets are available at any hardware store and allow the horse to be disassembled and folded up for easy transportation.
