Abstract: A heavy duty sawhorse brace comprising an elongated top horizontal channel, two elongated side leg channels and a brace plate. The channels are U-shaped and configured to receive the members used to construct the sawhorse. The channels further include at least one aperture configured to receive at least one fastener for removably attaching the sawhorse members to the brace. The brace plate extends from the top horizontal channel to each side leg channel, providing increased stability. The side leg channels are oriented such that, when the sawhorse is assembled, the leg members angle away from the center of the sawhorse. The leg members at each end also angle out from each other.
