Well my idea isn't quite so sophisticated as that, I was thinking more along
the lines of clamping saw guides into place . I have thought though of
connecting a length of angle iron as an edge guide to three other pieces with

Has anyone ever described to you the machine they use at Lowe's and Home

Here is one plan from the Web which I selected because the instruction is
fairly easily understood. You will probably want a sliding bevel to capture the
angles for cutting the end stringers but mostly this will easily be done from

Using your computer as a TV is nothing new. I bought this one about 2 and a
half years ago and it has a TV tuner card in it. It's an HP. I don't use
it very much, I'd rather sit in my recliner and watch on the big screen
where I can really see what's going on or sleep if the game gets dull.
You could file off a little of the thread every half inch. You would still
have to spin the nut but you wouldn't have to count as you did so.

I stumbled upon a good paint remover. I just used oven cleaner. The thing
that I like about it is that it doesn't have wood alcohol, which is very
dangerous. However, it does have lye which requires the usual precautions.
All-in-all it worked better than the paint remover I used in the past,
Good point...
The internally threaded sleeves are certainly cheep enough and the really
cool thing about this is you can go down to your local hardware store and
make it expandable without spending a bunch of money.

Larry,
Better to only have a six inch threaded rod so you don't have to spin the
nut more than six inches. then you can just couple that six inch piece
with longer sections that can be threaded but don't need to be.
The longer sections can be fixed lengths like six inches, one foot, and 18

If man were to use a really high quality grade8 thread stock, mill it flat
on one side with .5" registry marks on the opposite side, he could almost
use it as a circ saw guide as well.

Probably not a bad idea depending on how long it takes me to make it all

Making 72 passes on a 3 foot piece of material and then verifying that they

Excellent! Crank out a few of these and sell them for 20 bucks a piece.
Show RotoRule that you can actually make an accessible product and not be

The ones I got for Christmas are 30 inches in height. Leg length is going to
vary depending on the angle they are put onto the body. Note this 30 inches is

Larry,
With your home brew threaded rod measuring device, how do you measure say
3 and 3/16 inches? Do you have to count every revolution from 0 to 3 and
3/16? With the high price spiffy version, there are detents at every half
inch so you can quick spin to the nearest half inch then just cou
That's what I was taking so long to say... Making them yourself gives you the
choice of how tall to make them. A set of brackets are about $10 for a pair
which makes one horse.

I think you can also buy the brackets with the angles for the legs already
dialed in. You simply cut the 2x4 or whatever to the desired length, bolt
them together and you have saw horses
