Will have to look into that. I can see where a softer tray that won't slide around would be beneficial.

I got two of these on sale a few years back. They are solid and fold away easy. I really would like a jaw horse, but I can’t justify the cost.

 

Will check those out. All excellent choices.

I do have a Jaw Horse, a roller stand, old school B&D Work mate. And two older steel with supplied wood rail sawhorses but I have and old very heavy door on them for my temp work surface until construction is done. OH and I have one of the spider table things which is damned nice for temporary work.

BUT I just need some more saw horses! I ordered these:

$24 POWERTEC Sawhorse Brackets, Set of 2 Saw Horse Brackets w/ 500Lbs Capacity, Heavy Duty Brackets for Use with 2x4 Lumber, Construction Tools for Carpenter, Contractors (71026)

https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MSZP19L?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details for rough work and such.

I HATE THIS KIND:

$11 Century Drill & Tool 72990 2x4 Saw Horse Brackets, Set of 2, Galvanized, Compact Storage

THANKS!!!

 

Burro folding horses are pretty compact to store when you are not using them.

6ft folding tables

 

I got a folding steel set similar to these years ago at a yard sale, had everything from mower decks to a truck bed on them.
Metal so welding is no problem.
The adjustable height is the best feature for me, they go up quite high. My back doesn't allow for a partially bent posture.

 

Nice!

 

I have similar ones in yellow, super beefy.

 

The metal horses under the grate have a treated and channeled 2x4 bolted to them, 22 years old, have been used for a multitude of things fab and woodworking, they fold for storage, these have been outside for years. Here I’m building a welding table so I can get my horses back for wood projects…..

 

These, because they are height adjustable. https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-...lastic-Saw-Horse-2-500-lb-Capacity/1000578401

 

Picked this combo up today. Totally don’t need something this nice but what the heck. Got two family member vehicle lined up so it push me to get it. A lot bigger then I anticipated

 

Where are you located? I'll swing by and you can show us how this works --- on my coil-overs!

Very Nice!!

 

I wouldn’t mind helping out a fellow tw member for a very small fee to help recoup some cost. Located by downtown la if your close enough lol. Need to rebuild my kings so it would help out for sure when the time comes

 

Exactly. At $20 a pop, it would be paid off fast. Another good money maker is a hydraulic press for bushings, bearings. It's a money maker.

Just moved into a new-to-us house, talking to my neighbor a bit and saw this gem on the side of his house. He said he was going to get rid of it so he just gave it to me.
I’ve been looking for a solid vise forever, who would have thought.

 

Fortunate for sure. But do keep looking for one that pivots about the clamping axis (not just the mounting -base- axis). Mine has proved invaluable with it's versatility!
My vise and my homemade workbench have now followed me to five different houses because I'd be lost with out them.

 

I never buy pre-made..

The piece across the very top isn’t necessary..

 

Nice. 2x4's are $7.97 now.
