Shorty Saw Horse

Step 1 Gather the materials

I ended up just using scrap materials that I had collected from previous jobs. Here is a break down of what you need to make this pair of saw horses:

Materials:
Qty: Description:
(2) 2" x 6" x 59"
(4) 2" x 4" x 17"
(4) 1" x 4" x 16"
(32) #8 x 1.25" Drywall screws (16 for each horse)

Tools:
Hand saw or miter saw
Coping saw or Jig Saw
Drill/driver and bits
1/4" drill bit
Speed square
Pencil

Remember Safety First.

Hi - This looks like a great sawhorse and for a limited space workshop I love that it can easily be taken apart for better storage.

I think I'm missing something though.  Is this material list for 1 sawhorse or for 2?

If I'm following the directions correctly for 2 sawhorses it looks like I would need
(2) 59" 2x6's
(4) 17" 2x4's (the legs right?)
(4) 16" 1x4's

This would calculate out to a shopping list of (1) 10' - 2x6, (1) 6' -  2x4, (1) 6' - 1x4, 24 screws.

Thanks.

Nice catch on the typo's. The list should have been for a pair of saw horses, so yes it should have been:
(2) 59" 2x6's
(4) 17" 2x4's (the legs right? correct)
(4) 16" 1x4's (bottom leg stabilizers)

But it is 32 screws, since each end of the saw horse has 8 screws, which is 16 screws per horse.

I've made the necessary corrections within this instructable. Thanks.
