Do you still plan to write a new blogpost detailing the construction of the sawhorses?<br />I enjoy reading your blog, but I was really looking forward to that post!<br /><br />Regards,<br />EugeneNigel4GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389759574773645328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-43618981262381351682016-11-15T21:46:50.681-05:002016-11-15T21:46:50.681-05:00Thanks so much for your reply.

Instead of answering your questions here in the comments section, I'll write a new blogpost that gives all the dimensions.

I understand the instructions on how to get the angle correct <br />for the cut on the legs - could you be so kind as to furnish more dimensional <br />and instructional info on your sawhorses? Things like:<br /><br />1) The beam on the sawhorses looks to be a 2x6? How long do you like the beam<br /> to be?<br /><br />2) The edges of the beam do not look to be chamfered to receive the legs, is<br /> that right?<br /><br />3) How long do you like the legs to be? Do you chamfer the ends of the legs<br /> so that the bottom of the legs will sit flush on a flat floor?<br /><br />4) The gussets are just regular 1/2 in. plywood? They do not look to be a <br /> particular length as they are longer on one set of the sawhorses shown <br /> than the other, since that is not really critical, right?<br /><br />5) How far from the end of the beam do you attach the legs on the beam?<br /><br />6) Looking straight down the beam from the end of the sawhorse, what do you<br /> like that angle to be? In other words, what do you like the angle on the<br /> gussets to be?<br /><br />7) Do you like to attach with nails or screws?<br /><br /><br /><br />I really would appreciate anything you could share.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />EugeneNigel4GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389759574773645328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-48093865928929402142012-10-15T11:42:33.226-04:002012-10-15T11:42:33.226-04:00Hi Kurt- 04245?

The Sproutbuilder and associated Gigya addresses are associated with the animated ad I run at the top of the page. I am (was) a beta tester of the widget maker, but no one had mentioned a problem with displaying it before. I use both Firefox and IE and have not had a problem. <BR/><BR/>Thud: I have not heard the term "mason's bank" before. There is a thing we used to use called stand-offs. Imagine one set of legs on that sawhorse chopped off. You'd lean the stub against the house, and the angle of the legs would make any weight on the horse push the stand-off against the wall. Surprisingly stable. <BR/><BR/>A "Mason's plank" is a common term to me. It's a very rough plank about a half inch thicker than a carpenter's plank, sized for the additional weight of masonry or bricks placed on it when the hod carrier shows up. I once had some fellows working on a house for me. I told them to use 2x10s I had laying around for planks. I left and came back and they told me they found a mason's plank instead. They said it seemed kind of heavy, but it worked real good. <BR/><BR/>It was a 10/4 by 10" tiger maple plank about 14' long, the sort of timber I purchase from time to time to make table legs from. It cost about $175.00SippicanCottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940797380578921776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-23859558794969833202008-04-17T12:41:00.000-04:002008-04-17T12:41:00.000-04:00Funny ...

Had to modify the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with a text editor, which basically tells your PC to look to itself for those sites rather than their real ip addresses. Whew, glad that's outta the way.<BR/><BR/>My first thought looking at that pic (OK, my second or third thought) was actually "hey, those look like our host's sawhorses that he showed us a while back." I'm still surprised to see that the girl perched atop them is Norma, though.<BR/>-BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-67605199526526574882008-04-17T12:05:00.000-04:002008-04-17T12:05:00.000-04:00I use a masons bank for all thw various jobs i do....I use a masons bank for all thw various jobs i do...kind of a sawhorse on steroids.Thudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320037763190473684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14474631.post-9946447173443014852008-04-17T11:44:00.000-04:002008-04-17T11:44:00.000-04:00I don't know what's going on with your blog ... wh...I don't know what's going on with your blog ... when I access it whether through IE or Firefox, the browser starts contacting cdn.gigya.com and starts writing insane amounts of data to my pagefile, until it freezes my browser then brings my whole system to a crawl.

One on seeing the picture--hey, she's sitting on a sawhorse.<BR/><BR/>Then I read halfway down the post--what? that's Marilyn Monroe? and had to look again.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't look like her--brown long straightish hair, legs a lot longer than I thought hers were, body a lot leaner. That's the best-looking picture I've ever seen of her. She looks like a normal, healthy girl rather than a person who has established she has one purpose in life: sex appeal.
