Abstract: A folding three legged sawhorse suitable for use alone or in combination with another of the same is disclosed. A first horizontal beam is supported by a leg at each end. A second horizontal beam is hinged near the midpoint of the first horizontal beam and supported by a leg at its outer end. The second horizontal beam may be moved from a ready to use position which is substantially perpendicular to the first beam to a storage or transportation position which is parallel to the first beam. A spring attached to the underside of both the first beam and the second beam cooperates with the hinge and is tensioned for the dual purposes of locking the second beam in its folded position for storage and holding it in its open perpendicular position during use.
