This is another post aimed at those of us who are just getting started. If you don’t have a set of these you will need them at some point. I just made some new saw ponies so I thought I would post them. I use these to finish large projects so they are off the floor but not on a table. They are also made to be used as a saw bench for ripping with a hand saw. At some point you will need to do that as well. One end over hangs a full 6 inches. All the angles are 20 degrees. These are made from left over plywood. As you can see I didn’t waste any time on niceties. These are pure function.The height is somewhere around 18 inches and the top is 30 inches. They can be built in a couple hours and will last for a good long time. These can also be topped with left over carpet for a scratch free top. With a plank these can also be used as low scaffolding.

Nice step stool Thos. Put some painters boards across them and ready to paint a room.
Very nice.

Dang it Tom, Lee stole my comedy routine.
Good of you to give ‘er the old acid test.
Now I guess I won’t feel badly posting my oh-so-utilitarian step-stool and storage cabine.

I’ve got those all over inside the house and out in the shop. My wife is just a bit taller than the width of a sheet of plywood. 4’ 4” I think. She won’t let me put the tape up next to her. They sure save on me having to run out to the kitchen to get things out of the cupboard for her though. So when I make one pair I make 2. lol
