Heavy Duty SawHorses

admin

heres some saw horses I made outta 1" pipe and unistrut, the sleeves that allow them to swivel are like 1 1/2" or something I don't remember, but they are very sturdy and solid, u can bolt 2x4s to the top so as you have no fear while ripping plywood or whatever, the ones I built have had about 1500 pounds on em and they held  good, any way heres a pic thought someone would like to see a well built saw horse for heavy duty use, cant buy them like this at the box storesMiller Syncrowave 210 w/CK FlexLoc 150  3/6/14ESAB PCM 1125 Plasma CutterAtlas 12x36 LatheACER 9x42 3hp millHarig 612 Surface GrinderDRINK Machine              welding&fabrication

Reply:The foldup design is real handy.  AND PAINTED TOOMade these crappy looking old things probably 12-15yrs ago when I was building the loader.Was back in the day before I really got the lowdown on the right way to do it.  I used to whip like a banshee  And I really NEVER saw the puddle because I didn't really know what to look for  I used to weld observing the slag while running the bead.  I found that after a number of times I could pretty well predict what was underneath the slag.  It was a half azzed way of doing things.  But it worked..............sorta  Been a lot of water under the bridge since those days.  It's why I always envy the guys that have been to a school, was hard to learn on my own.Anyways, I like your horses"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
