Off-grid Homestead Project Timber Framed Saw Ponies

Saw ponies can be built using short pieces of 2×8 and plywood. These miniature saw horses are stackable (when stacked two-high, they're roughly standard saw horse height), sturdy, and can even double as step stools or seats.

Safety guards (while useful for the less experienced) really do give a false sense of security and safety. The best safety guard is the one between our ears. Respect your tools, use them correctly and for the right jobs, don't become complacent, and keep your hands/fingers where they belong. That will keep you safer than a cheap piece of plastic any day of the week.

Safety glasses might be a different story however...

But hey, this isn't a how to on safety! It's for saw ponies! ;)

@ARCustomKnives aw yes safety glasses. I try to remember them next time.

Dude, I would like for you to tell me why there is no blade guard on that saw. We all want you to keep your fingers and finish this project. I'm not being a wise guy I'm just being real......freakshow2000

[wranglerstar]

@TheSoloAsylum Guard? are you kidding? The guards they put on new saws are more dangerous than using the saw without one. Thank you for you concern however there is no need. West coast carpenters never use guards.

Snazzy intro.

I have pretty much abandoned using common nails for much of anything, the quality of nails I was getting from lowes and HD just sucked. I went to screws with the square drive and I install them with my 1/4" impact driver... When I built mine I also put a bead of construction adhesive behind the gusset for extra strength, cheap insurance!

Camp fire stools.

[freakshow2000]

I built a set of these tonight, I used 2x8's also only I made mine 24" tall. I have a lot of 6x6's to cut slots in and my old sawhorses were not up to it...........thanks for the idea. These are plenty strong.

Well done Cody! I like the discussion on productivity and efficiency. Keep up the good work.

[GREATSurvivalists]
