Hi folks,
What do you all consider a good working hight for timbers? TF Norm came over the other nite and we built some saw horses to work the timbers on. His were 26", mine were 28" and I am thinking about making a pair that is 32" high. Specifically for handsawing.
What do y'all like?
Bruce,
Depends how much hand mortice work you are doing. Pounding a mallet to chisel out large mortices on a tall horse will kill your shoulder...
Being 6'5", I use two different sizes, a higher one for layout/sawing, a lower one for mortice work.
