Sawhorse

A sawhorse apparatus comprising:

• at least one unitary, molded cross beam/support leg interface having a three sided channel that extends longitudinally along the top of the interface and having at least one joint member adjacent the bottom of the interface;
• a plurality of support leg devices which interconnect with said cross beam/support leg interface;
• said three sided channel being adapted to envelop the bottom of a beam longitudinally and the lower portion of each of its sides, said channel having dimensions adequate to accept a standard lumber cross beam, and
• said joint member being located at the bottom of the three sided channel, running along its centerline and down most of its length, said joint member having a thickness which is less than the thickness of the channel and a length which is less than that of the channel and which determines the distance between leg support devices, said joint member having ends that are formed of tapered dovetails or tapered "T" rails which secure the support leg devices to the cross beam/support leg interface member.

• said interface member dovetail or "T" rail ends are slanted at angles, of approximately ten degrees from vertical, for providing a means for increasing the base of the apparatus by slanting the support leg devices slightly away from center of the cross beam device thereby adding stability.
