Saw horse!

So. I had a bed at the old flat. But I don't need another bed here (we've got three). But I had to remove the bed from the flat, so the flat would be empty when we complete the sale. Just as an aside, this bed was odd. It was put together by someone without much skill and without the right materials. I don't know why he - or she (although I'd prefer not to sound sexist by suggesting that it was a woman who couldn't assemble a bed) - thought he could assemble a bed using HINGES. Not brackets, but hinges.

Anyway, we're building stuff around the house. Shelves. More shelves. And things like that. But it's been very difficult sawing the planks of wood without a saw horse. At one point I had a plank resting on a pillow on the coffee table (so I wouldn't scratch it). That didn't really work. So then I started using Susie's deck table (see photo). I bought C clamps. But Susie would always take a deep breath every time I used the table.

So suddenly today I worked out what I should do with the bed. And pictured here is the end result. Saw horse a la table.
