Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Top view...







One set up, and another folded, leaning against the wall.

Here is a side pic of the completed sawhorse. You can see I used chain to keep the legs from separating. The legs are currently set at about 17" apart an the bottom, measuring from inside to inside of the legs.

Today I picked up a replacement router bit. That means that I finished the sawhorses today!

I can hear the cheering in the background! Yay, no more sawhorse pics after tonight. Well, maybe. Lol.

Just a quick side note on the Ryobi portable saw. A 15 degree cut is about maximum to still be able to cut through a 1.5" thick piece of wood.

My saw only has a 5 - 1/2" blade. Some of the newer versions of this saw have a 6 - 1/2" blade, and one has a 7 - 1/4" which should be able to cut through 1.5" lumber at 45 degrees.

Lol. Well, at least no serious damage was done. Just a momentary delay, in addition to a bunch of others along the way.

Just part of the process, I guess.

I was working on the sawhorses tonight, and had a slight mishap.

No, I didn't remove any body parts.

I applied a little too much pressure while using the router, and ruined the bit I was using.

Time to go the store tomorrow for another one, so I can finish these puppies.

Nope, we are just fine. No relapse. Thanks. Planning on continuing the work.

When they are folded up, they will look something like this, and reasonably flat when set up to use.

Here's almost what they will look like when assembled.

Yes, I know the tops are not quite level. I had the bottoms too far apart when I took the pic.
