I agree - I have seen them made like that in real life. Very nice job Marty and those circular rings (stains) seem to be quite popular right now. First Marc (who else?) came up with them on his beautiful bench then I borrowed them for my work table and now on your saw horse. The tools and the pipe? looks great too. Who´s the manufacturer of the wrench and c-clamp? Anders |

Yep, what Nick said. I copied a sawhorse I found online and the brace makes sense under the horizontal piece. Excellent modeling though  |

Don, Scale stripwood is the "wood" Anders, no idea who made the tools, stuff from the scrap box, I had to make the monkey wrench handle larger, was too thin. Other than staining the wood and waiting for that to dry the project was an evening of fun. If I was going to make a sawhorse to actually "use" I would not have made it this way. I was going for a look and feel and type I wanted to model. Sorry but I guess the plumber on the Corliss knows very little about carpentry, I however do! Thanks! -Marty

Marty, I like that and idea which I will "borrow" ..........and well done for bring us back on track on this thread. I'll try and help to ......... continuing my search for the easiest way to make setts/cobble here is my latest attempt - made from ordinary modelling clay impressed with a couple of bits of plastic. It is meant to be a very old broken down semi abandoned yard, probably with a cement mixer in it    Next job is to add some vegetation .......... which considering some of the latest posts will be a challenge

Wow! That is a darned fine rendition of a busted old road ... real nice! Now, regarding vegetation ... meditate until you reach a vegetative state, and it should come naturally ... If not, dart over to Sweden for some assistance ... you might be able to catch a bus at Ikea ... Cheers, Dallas |

Gordon, that looks like my table that I photographed my stuff on ! What´s going on  ? This will be a beautiful base to support a great roller or cement mixer. Anders |

I miss a bit of asphalt or compacted earth.
Looks very good, even better with some grass, weeds and flowers.

Glad you guys like it .......... you are tempting me to to try and lay some old breaking up tarmac on it now, there was a thread/SBS on how to do it somewhere here ..... theres a few more hours of my life gone looking for it.
Marty, will put a SBS on cobble/setts at the week end .......... in true Blue Peter style (folks in the UK will understand) you will need
Standard modelling clay ( as used by sculpters,etc)
Piece of wood
white glue, water soluble type (Elmers?)
2 pieces of square and rectangular plastic tube
toothpick
&
a microwave
Think there are more words in the material list than there will be in the SBS, it is that simple

Nice the way you cobbled those stones together. And Nick's right about the saw horse. Looks like a plumber built it. It's perfect.

Far from an expert on old tarmac but looks perfect to me! With weeds etc. between the cracks this should look perfect. Great to see the cement mixer in place as well. Nice job Gordon! Anders |
