Though really, its not much of a design. Just as simple and sturdy a sawhorse that I could come up
with. The emphasis being on light, sturdy, and stackable. Disassemble-able would be nice too, but
that would compromise the other factors, and at that point, its probably better to just buy one of
many types of sawhorse brackets and use those.
The only tool you need to build these is a sliding miter saw, or a radial arm saw. I used a radial arm
saw, because that's what I have. I would recommend you buy a sliding miter saw instead. The way
a radial arm saw pulls itself into the wood and with the saw blade coming towards you, is ideally
suited for having horrific accidents with. Miter saws are much safer, and can do nearly anything
practical that you could do with a radial arm saw.

Sawhorse Construction
If your miter saw is a non-sliding type miter saw, you will need to think up some other way of
cutting these slots, such as with a table saw or a skillsaw.

Cut the legs to 32" in length. That way, you can get 3 pieces out of an 8' stud, and can make 8 legs
for two sawhorses from three 8' studs.
