Layout 4 - The Clydesdale

The only limit
is your imagination!
A builder says…
“The Clydesdale’s a great tool for builders –
I used them every day on the job!”
“I used The Clydesdale to help me build a high-end Victorian home. I used
them every day for over a year. I can tell you from my own experience, The
Clydesdale is strong and versatile. I set them up as sawhorses, work tables,
job site picnic tables, and more.
Cheap sawhorses collapse when you get too much weight on them. The
Clydesdale handles anything. Itʼs a great design and a great tool!”
— Dave Sundberg, Sundberg Construction,
Garberville, CA
“The Clydesdale will handle anything.”

Special Notice about SAFETY
Every tool is only as safe as the person using it. Your safety is specifically YOUR RESPONSIBILITY — see Warranty. We urge you to use
good sense when using The Clydesdale and always put safety first.
• Use only #2 Douglas Fir or better lumber with The Clydesdale.
• Avoid lumber thatʼs twisted, cupped, split, or has knots.
• “Kick out” The Clydesdaleʼs legs to be sure Pinch Points secure lumber in the Pockets and Slots.
• Use extreme caution when The Clydesdale is set up as an elevated
work platform – we strongly recommend the use of safety railings.
