Manufacture of a Sawhorse using Hand tools for my Building Construction Industry Trades Organisation 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 sawhorse 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 batterypowered drill to drill the holes for the screws.
I enjoyed Cutting the angles the most as well as the drilling
I found Measuring out the legs so they would sit flat the most difficult part.
I overcame this by laying it flat on the workbench and measuring it that way.
To make a sawhorse I carried out the following processes.
Marking out the top.
Cutting the joints
Hand sawing the leg ends.
Marking out / planing the legs
Fixing the legs
Attaching the end piece and support.
