OK maybe not quite bullet proof, but everything else is accurate. I came up with this design about 16 or 18 years ago. I'm sure I'm not the first on...
Sizes - The older sets pictured in the intro are 24" tall. The sets I just made are 30" tall. The height is dependent on your purposes. For simply ...
I built 6 sets (12 horses). Most people will only need two or four horses. The length is nominally 3' (36"). Please note that I am giving the minim...
I assume that if you are building these horses and using the tools listed that you will follow the appropriate safety procedures. Yes I am a shop t...
Sizes given are nominal and for a 30" high x 36" long horse. I purchased twelve 10' 2x6's for the legs. This gives me four 30" legs from each board ...
In order to make the horses stackable, each top is 1/2 inch longer than the preceding one. This is actually much easier than it sounds. In theory, t...
Ripping is the term used when cutting parallel to the grain. I considered not making the angle cut the full length of the top, but again K.I.S.S.. ...

The second leg will be assembled to the same edge, on the opposite end of the top. Remove the wedge from the left end of the top. Angle the assembly...
This was the tricky one! Flip the assembly over and replace the wedge under the left edge of the top. Using a brace (one from step 8), support the l...
Ahhh, the final leg. Remove the wedge from under the left side of the top. Place Leg #4 in position on the shims, clamp, glue, pilot and screw it in...
I'm sorry I cannot give you a hard number to which to trim the braces. As I mentioned earlier, the GDF warps all over the place, and I am only a mere...
Yer almost done! Install a shorter screw pilot in the hand held electric drill. Set it for the shorter screw. For this application, a 1-5/8 inch sc...
As they will only stack one way, I find it usefull to number them for easy stackability. I guess I got a bit carried away but I stenciled numbers on ...
