Garch-The sawhorses in the picture where you are flipping the bench...how stable are they? Are they a lot more stable when both are separated and holding something on them like you have them in the pic or are they also stable in both directions solo?
I am currently shelving out a trailer and want to use a design like yours for the base of a work table that can be quickly set up & taken down. I have noticed them in a lot of your pictures and really like how they look. Thanks.

Garch- Looks like you got super busy. Haven't heard from you in a while. Have you worked on the bench at all lately?

This is certainly the busy season. I'm lucky to get on once a week at this point.

Looking good must be handy having the heavy duty tools for the heavier work. The top looks nice and solid

Them dovetails look sweet. Looks like the end piece ain't going to budge when you get it done. Always good to use the hand tools at times

Well impressed. Just curious did you train to be a carpenter first or an architect
