Improvised Saw Horse

[D'Animal]

I found myself need to cut a few pieces of plywood into smaller pieces. I did not want to drag my saw horses out since they would only help for the first few cuts. Once the pieces were smaller than 24"x48" they would not be useful.

In about 1 minute I came up with an improvised sawhorse that allowed me to secure the wood while cutting it into smaller pieces.

1 - 55gallon barrel
2 - Squeeze clamps

For stability you can add water to the barrel.

I used this technique to cut the plywood down to 8" x 8" triangles

Great idea. Do you still have all your fingers, or is that paint?

 

[D'Animal]

I still have all of my fingers.

Looking at all that dust, I'd say it's time to sharpen your chain.


Btw, that is a good idea.

I would have expectred Dan to use a circular saw for that

And I agree, that is an excellent idea

Make awsome radiant heat sources for greenhouse benches as well.
