![]() There’s no question this is a premium product with a matching price tag. You can operate it with both hands attending to your work, something you can’t do with any other sawhorse. The JawHorse was built with a foot pedal lever to control the clamping. Naturally, your hands are often full while you’re working. ![]() Or, bring it in tight and use it as a vice to clamp down whatever you’re working on. You can spread it out and clamp down a sheet of plywood to turn it into a work table. A single clamp system spans the full length of the sawhorse, and it can deliver up to one ton of clamping force. What if a single tool could replace your sawhorse, workbench, clamps, and even your bench vice? Say hello to the Rockwell JawHorse Portable Material Support Station. To start, the solid steel support station has enough strength to support a 600-pound load. We just wish that the height of this tool was adjustable, but we think the WORX Pegasus is the best overall sawhorse of the year. Plus, it folds flat, making it easier to carry and store.Īt the bottom of the table are tabs to hold a power strip that can be useful in certain situations. However, it weighs a mere 30 pounds, so you can easily carry it around without difficulty. ![]() This single sawhorse/workbench can hold up to 1,000 pounds. You might think something this versatile would be weak, but you’d be wrong. It’s like having another pair of hands while working, which we probably don’t have to tell you, is incredibly useful. ![]() They’ll grab whatever material you’re working with, holding on firmly and not letting go. Taking it another step further, two clamps are built right into the top of the bench. It has fold-out supports that transform it from an ordinary sawhorse into a workbench. That’s why we loved the WORX Pegasus Portable Sawhorse. All in all if you do this on the cheap without buying the premium lumber, this step should only run you around $20.The more ways a tool can be used, the better it is in our book. Just remember that the sawhorse brackets will add a few inches in height. If you think 18.75" and 22' seems better, by all means. For my desk, I had the legs cut at 19'' and the braces cut at around 23". Once you find a saw operator, there going to ask you what length you want the pieces cut. ![]() Or if you're like me, stand by it until someone takes pity on you. Just grab the nearest employee and ask if they can operate it for you. How to get your wood cut: Most hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowes, Ace) have a saw to cut your lumber for you. Don't worry about what kind of lumber but Don't Buy Treated Wood. If you're like most people, you'll probably be working at your desk indoors, so there's no need to buy weather-treated wood. Note: Having extra pieces is good in case you screw up. If you feel like this is too much work, there are plenty of already-made sawhorse you can buy, you lazy bum! What kind of wood: A few 2x4s should do you (I bought three at 12' which made for 8 legs, 2 braces, and some extras). As the title suggests, your next step should be to go to your local hardware store and purchase the wood that will constitute the legs and cross braces of your desk. ![]()
