Springtime in Camp

Kinda green there already isn't it.    Do you always put another board across the top of a saw horse?   Oh, cute flowers.

Yeah I always do put a flat plank across the tops of saw horses.
 I started it decades ago and stuck to it all this time.
Its a little more like a workbench this way.  Easier clamping by far, more secure sawing.
 Also really good for sawing off short stuff laid along the length of a single horse. 
 A 1x4 makes all the difference, but a 1x6 is even better.
  I usually end up inbetween width, using up some odd sized scrap or other. :)
 Try it!
 You'll see.

My Pop built them that way and so do I.

There are some beautiful tiny wildflowers you just have to look.

Stated reason:
>Its a little more like a workbench this way.  Easier clamping by far, more secure sawing
Real reason:
 When you forget to set the blade depth on the skilsaw it doesn't cut the sawhorse in half -P
