Who's got a  Jawhorse?

 

Anyone using one? 

 

Marty?  What about you? 

 

I figured everyone saw this one.

 

What caught my eye  was the welding atachment.

 

 

sure looks like a aluminum sawhorse with a bench clamp attached. About $20 worth??

Nope. I still use a couple of Black & Decker Workmates. With all the years that I have had them, I don't think they owe me much now

I am speechless. Good thing I'm writing this. $180??

 

Right: I'd just love to carry my 10" table saw from the shelf I'd have to have to store it, to that thing. It should include a floor crane for swapping tools. And that three legged stance is just the very thing for soft ground. Try sliding something really heavy into its jaw area and watch it flip belly up. As for putting up drywall alone, yeah, right. Who's going to hold the free end while you set the height, Casper the friendly ghost?

 

I'd give $20 for one, just because I'm a tool nut.

Rkapuaala,

 

Hanging sheet rock alone is for the professional drywaller, which I sure ain't.  I got two 'jack-posts' from Harbor Freight for $9.99 ea, adjusted one, put my wife to holding it, put an end of the drywall on it, held everything while she scooted for the 'low' end and lifted it until I could get it all the way up while she took the second one and propped it under the second end. Sorta like a Chinese Fire Drill. Then I snugged everything so it wouldn't fall down. Then I sat and rested for a few minutes. Then we aligned everything to suit and I shot drywall screws in, resting about every six or eight screws, since it's overhead work. Definitely not the professional method, but hey, we're both past 60 and neither in good health. We did about two pieces/session, then quit. Got it done in about a week. Not complaining a bit.

 

Thanks for your input.
