Created and designed by yours truly.
This posting may or may not make any sense to anyone other than a carpenter but I'll do my best to explain.
The above image is a 3D rendering of what I call a one board Saw-horse (little pony) I literally dreamed up one night while doing punch out on a 3 story 32-plex condominium here on Padre Island.
I'm hoping from the image and my explanation one might be able to build their own version and relieve theirselves from lugging around a full sized horse to cut things off of.
So, for starters the overall length is 2'6" long. The bottom rail in made by joining a 2x6 and a 2x4 centered below to form the base.
The front legs are made by ripping a 2x6 in half making them 2 3x4" wide and 16" long with a 15 degree angle cut on each end. The top of the cut where it joins to the base is squared off allowing 3 5/8" to fit against the 2x4 and secured from the opposing side and top. 3, 3 1/2" screws are best.
The back legs are fabricated in the same manner but are twice the length and half the angle, Thereby making them 32" long with a 7.5 degree angle cut. The only other difference is the square cut allows for a 5 3/4" face to be secured to the top rack brace made from a 2x6 14 1/2" long
The upper deck is composed of 3 2x6. Two of them 14 1/2 and the top most piece being 16" long. Center one of the 14 1/2's to the 16", flush to the back and attach the back legs same as the front with 3 screws/nails. Measure down the leg 14 1/2 and mark each leg as that will be the same distance as the other piece of the upper deck assembly.
For best results you may have to cut a small
1 1/2" deep angled notch on both sides of the lower base allowing the back legs to slide over/on to the base and secure the back legs to the base with 1 screw angled for best fitment. Secure the other side of the upper deck with 2 screws going straight up from the bottom and 2 more angled to keep the upper deck tight to the base
If any of this made sense then you should have something that looks like the image above and you'll be amazed at the light weight functionality of the thing.
PS:
If I can remember how to bake textures using blender I will get around to making a full fledged exploded diagram of the thing with hopes of selling the plans on some service somewhere, somehow, some other day.
If you actually built the little pony and use it let me know your thoughts on how well you like it because I'm sure you will.
It doubles as a chair, has a built in place to place your saw so you don't have to bend down so far to grab it, is a two step scaffolding allowing access to 8' 9' and if you are tall 10' ceilings, a great multi faceted tool.
For now, good luck and leave a vote or better still leave some steem if you found this post valuable.
Oh yeah. The reason one board, you can make the whole thing from one 2x6x16 instead of the typical 4 stud Saw-horse.
