Krenov Style Sawhorses with Interchangeable Top
These sawhorses are in the style originally made popular by James Krenov with a few minor modifications. They are essential for any wood shop and are a great project for beginners and intermediate woodworkers looking to learning some great techniques. Unlike the trip-hazard splay-legged versions common to construction sites, these are light, portable, and have a small footprint. Their upright design allows for clamps and tools to pass through the middle without obstruction. The sawhorses can be positioned closer together for small glue-ups or other jobs, and they nest easily for convenient storage. They are great looking but man can they hold some weight.
Project Features
A modern take on James Krenov's sawhorse design
Interchangeable Top
Easily switch out and secure different tops for a variety of purposes. Sacrificial tops to cut through, tops with padding or tops with slots for clamps.
3 types of joinery
Bridle joints, wedged through mortise and tenons and perpendicular mortise and tenons all make for a strong and long lasting sawhorse.
Intermediate Project
This project contains several basic and intermediate woodworking techniques, 3 types of joinery and requires the use of some machines and hand tools.
Reversible Top
All tops are doubled sided. They use a reference hole, a brass insert and a threaded bolt to easily attach to the uprights.
Trestle Style Legs
Trestle legs allow for a small footprint that enables smaller glue ups and project assemblies.
Step-By-Step Plans
The Sawhorse project comes with downloadable plans containing a details cut list, measurements and scaled drawings.
