2021 Bcats Saw Horse

Manufacture of a Sawhorse using Hand tools  for my Building Construction  Industry Trades Organization qualification.

In term 1 2021 I learnt how to use hand tools to manufacture a Saw Horse to a specific size from a set of drawings . This took about 6 weeks (24 hrs) I will explain how to make a saw horse in this blog post

Here is my finished project.

This project was made by using hand tools only. No powered tools were used apart from a battery powered drill to drill the holes for the screws.

I enjoyed cutting the legs the most.

I found fitting the legs the most difficult part. I overcame this by trying different ways of getting the right measurements.

To make a saw horse I carried out the following processes.

The first step was to mark out the top of the saw horse using a sliding bevel.

My second step was to cut out the joints using a saw and a chisel.

My third step was to hand saw the leg ends.

My fourth step was to mark and plan the legs.

My fifth step was to fix the legs to the saw horse top.

My sixth step was to attach the end piece and support.

What did I enjoy the most?
