wooden sawhorse modification
I have a foldable homemade wooden saw horse. I put lengths of carpet gripper into the "V" section to help grip the wood being sawn. Might be of interest to any DIYers out there. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Good tip, I'm thinking of building one for cutting up firewood. I have an aluminium one at the minute and keep nicking my chainsaw on it. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Just be careful when you are shifting it! The carpet gripper is cheap and it comes in lengths with a tap in nail so all you do is cut to size then hammer it in place, 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Just take care with the carpet grippers when you are folding it up Whistle
