- 1). Draw an angle on the end of four studs. Start by making a mark 4 inches down on one side of the studs. Start at the opposite corner on the same end, and draw a line down to meet the mark.
- 2). Hold the stud on it's side, and cut down the line using a band saw. You should be looking at a flat spearlike point on the end of four studs.
- 3). Lay another stud that hasn't been cut on its side on a worktable; this will be your crossbeam. Liberally spread glue on the flat angled surfaces that you just cut. Stand the legs up one at a time sticking up at an angle, with the glued angled surface touching the cross beam on the ends, and use a staple gun to shoot 1 1/2-inch staples through the angled surface into the crossbeam.
- 4). Stand the sawhorse up when all four legs have been stapled on. Measure up 18 inches from the bottom of one leg. Hold one of the short studs up perpendicular across the legs at the measurement. Trace the angle of the legs on the stud between the legs.
- 5). Cut both short studs on the angles that you traced. Liberally spread glue on the angled ends of the short studs. Place them between the legs. Use a staple gun to shoot 2 1/2-inch staples through the legs into the short studs. These are the braces.
