![]() In other words, I haven't figured out how to do it yet :-) I also looked into making it height adjustable, but doing that - while still keeping it foldable and sturdy - turned out to be quite a challenge. Also tested that one - no problem, even jumping up and down on it was fine. The platform should also be usable as a step stool and as a place to put tools and other stuff.The platform hooks over the bottom rail, so it is kick-resistant in all direction (except up of course, so try to avoid that.). Must have no tendency whatsoever to collapse, even if you happen to kick one of the legs.I tested each sawhorse by standing on top of it, and they didn't budge at all - so no worries there. Sturdy enough to support a granite kitchen table top (you guessed it, that's why I needed the sawhorses in the first place) - I can lift the table top on one side with some effort, so I'm guestimating it to weigh a bit over 100 kg.I made them from (mostly) 18mm plywood I had lying around, so the thickness of the entire sawhorse is 36mm when folded. Foldable, since I don't have a lot of room to store them.And since I also wanted to work on my SketchUp skills, I decided to design my own sawhorses, combining some of the designs I found with my own ideas. I found quite a few nice ones, but none of them were exactly what I wanted. In September 2020 I needed some sturdy sawhorses, so I started to look around for suitable designs.
