I've had a pair of these:

for a couple of years, and for the price, strength and stability, I'll
stick with them. I once had 80 square feet of formica over particle
board (counter tops) on them at once with no problems at all. Besides,
as many others do, I have a small shop, and these fold and hang on a
nail on the wall!

Well 2 pairs of saw "ponies" *were* for timber framing. They stack
nicely to a more usual height. Those four are Keith's fault:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&selm=6lu1ui%24g4e%40newsops.execpc.com

Another wobbly pair was made using metal sawhorse brackets way back
when and they are about 3 feet high and 4 feet long, at a convenient
height for painting/varnishing stuff. I also made a 4 foot high pair
to hold up a rack for 42 window frames while they were being
varnished. I will eventually cut them down to a more useful height. It
has only been about three years since I made them.

I have to admit I lied when I implied I made all seven. One pair came
with the camper, but they proved too low for my 3/4 ton Chevy pick-up
(a real truck, Dougs W. & M.), so I had to make another pair to hold
up the camper. The last pair, a conventional Norm style was bought
from the Carpenters' union who were selling them and donating the
proceeds to charity.

Besides, I do need (or rather the LOML does need) 4 pair to hold up
temporary tables in the solarium in the spring for the gazillion flats
of seedlings. The fact that they are used for two months does mean
that I need them all year round. Think of the wasted hour or two every
year if I had to build stands anew each time the tables are needed.

And, have no fear, there is absolutely no way I need the bullbrackets.
Hmmm, maybe I should replace the wobbly sawhorses . . .

No, No. No Bull! Tony is a legitimate lurker and occasional poster
since December 2003. You guys should do a DAGS on his name before
jumping on him.

Besides he lives in London like David Eisan, not in BC. So, AFAIAC,
his post is no bull.

As for the bull brackets, as the proud current owner and maker of 7
different pairs of sawhorses, as well as a MS stand, I do not see
myself using that fine Canadian product.

Tony, do not let this prevent you from posting in the future, as long
as it is useful, funny or intelligent (preferably all three).

You've already made 5 more pairs of sawhorses than anyone other than a
timber framer really needs. You're clearly a sucker for sawhorses, so
I expect you'll have a set of these bullbrackets by Xmas.

Looks like a great product - shame about the website though. Those
unreadable tiny cartoons don't help at all.
