Appliance Carton Sawhorses

Reader Guy Lautard sent us this novel tip: Take those cardboard cartons that hold new appliances and turn them into collapsible sawhorses.

Despite their light weight, they’ll hold heavy workpieces without a wobble. And they’ll fold flat and store in seconds when the job’s finished. Every appliance dealer we called had cartons to give away. Cut them to a comfortable working height with a circular saw.
