The simple Saw Horse (Sawhorse?)

Step 3 The simple jig that will save you a lot of time.

The picture below shows the jig that will make this whole project easier. It is a small scrap of 2x4" with one end cut to 15 degrees.  We are going to need lay out a 15 degree cut at least 8 times in this project, so rather the measure every single time. It is much faster to cut something at that angle and use it to mark all the other angles we need. Its also makes sure that they are all the same. So if you and up with 14 or 17 degrees instead of 15, it will not matter too much because all the angles will be off by the same amount.
