I went shopping for a roller stand but could not find one that I liked. So, I decided to make my own adjustable roller stand from a sturdy sawhorse and a purchased roller.

These low horses are easy to build and help keep your projects up off the surface of your workbench when needed.

This is the materials list and cutting diagrams for the Tool Tote Sawhorses project as it appears in the Australian Woodsmith magazine Issue 55.

Everyone should have at least one of these wide topped sawhorses in fact many times only one is needed when working with short lengths. Besides being a mini workbench you can stand on it and best of all sit on it.

Found in virtually every workshop and on every job site, the classic sawhorse is the universally accepted tool for getting the project off the ground - where you can work on it.

You can build these with hand or power tools. I used a combination. Here is how I built the sawhorses step by step.

These simple but sturdy sawhorses are perfect for a smaller workshop where space is at a premium. They tuck away easily and can also double as a base for a little extra workspace. Follow along at the link to build your own.

I do not think a woodworker can ever have enough work space. But building a permanent bench or table just makes the shop more crowded. That is where this multipurpose workstation comes to the rescue. We have also come up with several attachments you can build for the workstation. The cutting diagrams and materials list are available to download in this Online Extra.

Chris Swingley got some really rough plans for his saw bench project (his other plans are much more detailed than this sketch). The project is so simple, you really only need the appropriate dimensions and a couple photographs of the shape and joinery. He made his saw bench by jointing and laminating quite a few pieces of pine recovered from an old shipping crate. Doing all that sawing, jointing, laminating, and planing flat really builds confidence for building a more sophisticated project out of more expensive wood!
