It's interesting to see someone taking something that I try to avoid
where possible - basing my cuts on measurements and calculations, heavy
reliance on perfectly dimensioned stock - and going over the top with
it. The guy wants to make some simple stacking sawhorses:

Of course, he did get just the product he wanted, and obviously this is
fun for him.

That being said, my personal horses are all the steel folding type.
$20 apeice doesn't seem excessive for the convenience and load rating
on them. Having a small stack of steel boxes with 2x4s screwed to the
top takes up a whole lot less space than any other design I've seen.

I've had good luck with Trojans.

Mine are similar to these:

but they have adjustable legs.

I guess I must have bought them on sale- Amazon wants a lot more for
them than $20, anyhow.
