Thus two saw benches work fine for breaking out rough lumber and avoids falling offcuts. I mostly using hand saw or jig saw to break out rough lumber. Saw benches lack height adjustability, but are easy on the eyes. They look at home in the workshop, rather than looking like a gizmo.

Early in my woodworking days I made lots of jigs from books and articles. Very few of them satisfied for long. Saw benches however, feel good, look good, and perform wonderfully.

That said, always good to see new ideas and approaches just to trigger visions of the possibilities. Thanks.
