Saw horses (Upcycled Telstra installation stands)

[Dave-1]

Since saw horses have been discussed I thought I would throw these out there.

Ex Telstra instalation stands that I now use as saw horses, incredibly useful for a multitude of heights and uses.

I have used them as table stands for that extra table needed at parties, just set them standing on end  and twist slightly diagonal.

I have used them as seats at said tables.

I have used them for holding posts while concrete goes off.

I have used them to sit on and weed even (upside down)

And finally I have used them for saw horses in all sorts of configurations as an extra hand.

I have missed one dimension which I will grab when i get home tho! Thats the height of the drum of the belly.

Materials

Timber/mdf 10mm thick

Nails bullet head small

Wood Glue (Tho the original dosnt seem to have wood glue used)

Tools

Circular saw

Hammer

Jigsaw or a 100mm holesaw.

Steps

Step 1

These horses we use to sit on to terminate cable while in Telstra, now repurposed to be used for building stands, sawing timber or plain supp

Step 2

These are to show the different height configurations you can use them for.

I have used the horses this way for table leg supports with a door on top for that extra table at parties. Perfect height.

Wider solid base to sit on. If you look closely you can see the thickness of the timber. So for a 700mm width length then its 10mm + 680mm + 10mm pieces.

Upside down they are perfect for working on something that needs a short stool. NOTE the two triangle pieces next to the drum of the body and legs to give something for the nails to go into. I suspect that inside the box there are simlar pieces for the corners and edges.

Step 3

I have the measurements tho am missing the drum height lol I will update it when I get home this arvo.

Your modesty is simply  charming @MitchellMc !

With that level of guesstimating, it kind of looks like you'll come out broadly smiling after this year's Melbourne Cup!
