In the latest issue of Shop Notes there is a Knock-Down Workstation. If it turned out to be stable I think it would be very useful. Bonus! only one sheet of plywood and two 2x4s are needed to make.
Has anyone ever built this or something similar? Any tips would be appreciated.
Here is the link:
Hi Ray,
A few years ago I bult some similar for onsite finish carpentry that I think were of an inferior design to these. I like them, being how my present shop is small.
My only concern with these would be stress where the legs slide in eventually gaining a little slope. But I like the design enough I may just pick up the issue and see if that can be strengthened.
Thanks for posting it, Mike
all the time.

How do they self-level? Are there springs in the legs?
The Trojan sawhorses aren't self-leveling, but they are built to last. $100 a pair, but if you work construction they're absolutely the way to go. Quick, simple, stable, STRONG and bulletproof.

They don't self level but they sit well on un-even ground. The clamp that grips the 2x4 will grip in different places to allow the legs to sit in different positions.
One more nice feature. Since the 2x4 is clamped vertically, you can rip a sheet of plywood and allow the blade to slice into the 2x4 and not worry about the horse or having to support the fall-off .
