A vertical constraint will make this remain vertical. Snap this centerline to the midpoint of each line. We’ll want to sketch one last line running down the middle, which will help us use the Symmetry constraint. We can then create three additional lines without dimensioning them. With auto-constraint turned on, this will apply a horizontal constraint for us. The first line is 7.25” and needs to snap to the red X-axis to remain horizontal. With the Line tool, we can sketch the profile of a 2×8 board on the Front plane. We’ll then position them at the desired angles, which will allow us to split the boards similar to using a miter saw. However, we’ll start by creating simple board shapes. This sawhorse appears to have many complex mitered angles. We’ll look at using the Subtract tool, Split Body, the use of construction planes, and the Translate tool. I’m Kevin Kennedy, and today we’ll design a classic wooden sawhorse.
