Abstract: There is disclosed an improved collapsible saw horse comprising a horizontal member over the center of which is affixed a tubular spacer. Left and right rotatable sleeves are disposed over the horizontal member on each side of the tubular spacer to obtain an assembled crossbar. Four legs, each connected to a collar complementary to the horizontal member, serve to support the horizontal member. The legs are further defined as a left outer leg, left inner leg, right inner leg, and right outer leg. The collars are of a shape similar to the rotatable sleeves and the tubular spacer such that when disposed over the horizontal member a smooth profile is obtained. Four angled braces are arranged as follows: (1) a first brace from the left outer leg to the left rotatable sleeve; (2) a second brace from the left inner leg to the tubular spacer; (3) a third brace from the right inner leg to the tubular spacer; and (4) a fourth brace from the right outer leg to the right rotatable sleeve.
