Make two plywood end pieces to brace the sawhorse
legs. To make the first end piece, place a ten by twelve inch, 3/8 or
1/2 inch thick, piece of
plywood on two of the sawhorse legs as shown in figure 6. Position the
plywood
against the bottom surface of the top piece and mark the location of
the sawhorse legs on the plywood. Connect the marks and cut out the
plywood end piece. Place the sawhorse on a level surface and tack the
end piece to each leg with three or more 2 1/4 inch (57 mm) nails. The
nails should be spaced no more than six inches apart. Undernailing can
weaken the frame and overnailing can
damage and weaken the wood. Adjust the end piece until the sawhorse
stops wobbling and drive in the tacking nails. Repeat
the procedure with the other end piece and legs.
