Attach the End Stringers

Free Woodworking Plans - Attach the End Stringers(c) 2006 Chris Baylor licensed to About.com, Inc.
In this step, we'll attach an end stringer to each end of the saw horse. This will be measured on the spot.

Take a piece of 2x4 stock and place it over the ends of the two side stringers you attached in the last step. Using your pencil, scribe two lines onto the end stringer to match the outside ends of the side stringer, as shown in the image above.

Cut the ends of the end stringer at the marks you scribed. Attach the end stringer to both the two legs and the ends of the side stringer as shown.

Repeat with the stringer on the opposite end, and this sawhorse is complete.
