    A sawhorse is a beam with four legs, typically arranged in two pairs of inverted "V"s, used to support a piece of wood or other material for sawing or other similar types of work. They are usually made of wood, metal, or plastic and provide a stable base for manual work. Sawhorses are often used in pairs, one at each end of the piece being worked on.

  1. Sawhorse

    A saw-horse is a beam with four legs used to support a board or plank for sawing. A pair of sawhorses can support a plank, forming a scaffold. In certain circles, it is also known as a mule and a short sawhorse is known as a pony. 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, and is more useful as a single, but also more difficult to store. A sawhorse can also be used as the base for a portable work table by placing a sheet of 3/4" plywood or even a door on top of two sawhorses. If the sawhorses are strong enough, the portable table can be used as a platform for tools like a table saw, although with caution if the top is not secured to the sawhorses.
