Build a temporary Saw-Horse

Movie cowboy, Tom Mix, was born on this day in 1880 and with his trusty horse, Tony, he always saved the day, got the girl and rode off into the sunset, a Hero!

But if you’re not so lucky and don’t always have a horse when you need one, a saw horse that is, and you’re using the dinning room table or antique chairs to prop up work your doing, listen up.  Here’s hot to get out of the dog house and back into the ranch house!  It’s as easy as pie!  When you wanna rustle up a temporary sawhorse kinda fast like, open up a step ladder, and lay it down on its side, then use it to support your work or whatever and start sanding, painting, or sawing away.  Your wife will love your ingenuity and the fact your not using stuff out of the ranch house!

Using your trusty ladder as a sawhorse you’ll save the day, get the girl and ride off into the sunset a Hero too!
