Krenov Saw Horse


Every Do-it-yourself-er has a saw horse - store bought or home made.  This one is the latter.  Named after a Russian immigrant wood worker who designed and made a lot of it at his workshop.  Advantage of it is its versatility and easy stowage when not needed.  There are many ways this can be constructed and can be made as robust or delicately aesthetic for uses other than woodworking.  For example, it can be used to support hobby platforms - gardening and assembling.  My Russian readers can be proud of James Krenov (he passed away a few years ago) I hope I hear from you through the comments section including those from Ukraine and Lithuania (there's a number of you who had read this blog) 




Drilling pocket holes with a commercially available pocket hole jig.


I used bolt and barrel connectors to join the two uprights but other joinery can be used


Here it is used to support a narrow platform
Easy stowage is a great attribute for this sawhorse.

And for an even narrower platform, this sawhorse still works.
