I designed and built these sawhorses for timber framing and heavy duty jobs in my shop. They are constructed using three different types of joinery. Double sliding dovetail tenons connect both legs to the top. The stretcher is connected to the legs with double wedged through mortise and tenon joints. Lastly, the legs connect to the feet by way of bridal joints. The drawings also include a detailed router template.
I built my sawhorses using Purple Heart for the strength and weight of the lumber. But, these sawhorses would be equally impressive and amply stout built in white oak, hard maple or a variety of other tight grained lumber species.
NOTE: I recommend using my Bandsaw Sliding-Dovetail-Tenon Sled to cut the sliding dovetail tenons. However, the joinery can alternatively be cut by hand the traditional way using only hand tools.
