First, that’s a really nifty sawhorse. I really like its versatility.

Second, I’ve found that the WordPress plugin called WP-Spam-Free does a great job.

I am delighted that someone noticed!

As far as I have seen, it is unique to me. It evolved out of several hinged and otherwise pivoting systems. This pivot system has the advantage of being light and quite inexpensive. It could be shorter, but I like the knob it makes for hanging my tool belt on.
The advantage of the captive board is that you can replace or rotate it after you have cut it a few times. This way you can use a saw without worrying about the sawhorse.

I’m going to be honest and say I thought I had seen it all – but your last photo shows a truely different design than I have seen before..

The 2 x 4 trapping is cool and I have seen that – but the dowel insert assembly is new to me.
