sTable Sawhorse: A Compact Folding, Sturdy Sawhorse Designed to be Light Weight And Save Space
Abstract
The sTable Sawhorse is a composite, clamshell-style folding structure designed to be a mobile set of legs to support and raise objects to an appropriate work height. Designed with space saving in mind while folded, the sawhorse takes up minimal space while not in use. Manufactured with a woven fiberglass c-channel body, epoxy resin, and a foam core, the sTable Sawhorse is lightweight and robust. A large, flat top work surface allows for better contact and control of items placed on it. A wide footprint also allows for a very stable structure. This product is unique in that it combines a light-weight frame with the strength of similar bulkier and heavier alternatives. Consisting of two identical halves, the sawhorse is simple in design and construction. Testing will be conducted to determine the strength and the UV resistance of the legs as well as the overall stability of the structure.
