    The Ultimate Folding Sawhorse!

    I happened upon a really neat design that the owner calls the "shopdog". It has some similarities to the shop notes design that I recently built and some obvious differences. I wonder if I can salvage mine! I think the author did a fantastic job. If you are interested he posted a youtube video showing how they work. Kudos to www.woodshopdude.com

    That is pretty slick. The only thing I would rethink is that bottom strap. Seems kind of a pain to have to loosen/tighten but I guess in normal use you probably wouldn't do it that much. Maybe replace with a bungee.

            I wonder what the original guy will have to say about this??

              Scroll down about to near the bottom of the comment...Grant chimes in, and seems none too pleased

                In this case I think Grant's idea was ripped off.

                  The biggest advantage I see over the Shop Notes design is being able to replace the top easily when it is damaged.
