These Metal Sawhorses Are Just Asking To Be Made Into A Desk
By Chris Stout-Hazard
On one hand, a sturdy sawhorse. On the other, a stylish table leg.
I was scrounging around the hardware store last night, looking for a pair of sawhorses for woodworking projects, when I stumbled upon these Crawford 38" adjustable folding sawhorses. They're solid steel, painted in school bus yellow, and can be adjusted from 25 to 34" high. Because of their heavy duty construction, a pair of them supports up to 2,400 pounds. All this for under $30.
I picked up a pair for my project, but later realized that these would make a fantastic set of legs for a home office desk. The all-metal construction and bright yellow paint is reminiscent of more expensive modern tables.
Pair them with a wood desktop to create a fun, modern work surface. For extra stability, the tops of the sawhorses are predrilled to make it easy to permanently attach a desktop. And because the height is adjustable, they would be a great option for a desk in a kid's room.
The sawhorse includes a metal handle that adds functionality as well as interest.
The pre-drilled holes make it easy to permanently mount a tabletop.

What a difference a few degrees can make. The snow is retreating. Birds are chirping. The crowds have returned to the village.

A Rare Sunny Day
Roger and I are in Atlantic City this weekend for the New Jersey Home & Garden Show. I snuck out of the convention center during a break between sessions to explore the boardwalk and take a few photos.

The Grey House: Recalibrating Focus
After doing a goat photo shoot (goatoshoot?) that involved chasing a tiny baby goat around the village and taking somewhere in the range of 600 exposures, I discovered that my camera's autofocus system was out-of-whack.

The Grey House: Bedroom Board-and-Batten
Roger and I decided that board-and-batten would make a nice addition to the look of our master bedroom. This time, I tackled the project myself. Here's how to do it and what you'll need for the project.
