Step One |
The first thing we need to do is paint our
sawhorse legs which should already be cut to size. We took a cardboard box
and cut it in half and placed the legs across the two box pieces as shown
on the left. We did this outside because the spray paint can make a mess
if you do it indoors. Spray first one side and the edges and then when it
dries to the touch, spray the other side. Keep in mind it's better to
spray twice than put on so much that the paint runs down the wood. |

Step Two |
After you paint the legs, you will need to
paint the top board. However, since the fabric is going to cover most of
the board, it only needs to be sprayed on each end about a third of the
way into the board. Once all of your boards are dry, you'll want to put
the fabric on your board. First, get our your stapling gun and wrap foam
padding around the board as shown on the photo on left side. Staple a line
of staples into the to board leaving about six inches unstapled on each
end of the board.. |

Step Three |
Next, wrap the foam padding around the board
until the padding meets up with the side that it already attached then cut
the padding so that the two sides butt together. Staple the remaining foam
padding (as shown in photo on left) except for about six inches from each
end. The reason you're leaving an unstapled area on each end is
because you will need to tuck the black vinyl under the foam on each end.
As you can see we are using a heavy duty staple gun because we need to use
long staples. |

Step Four |
Now begins the finish part. Place the black
fabric so that it fits around the padded board and cut the length of the
fabric about six inches longer than the padding on the board. Lay the
fabric under the foam padding and fold it around to the back side as shown
on photo at left side. Note that the seems of the foam padding and the
fabric both attach at the bottom of the board. Center the fabric so that
you have three extra inches on each end. Carefully fold the extra fabric
and tuck it beneath the foam padding. Repeat the tucking on the other end
of the padding. |

Step Five |
Step Five is attaching the vinyl/leather
fabric to the board. After you've folded and tucked the end pieces, bring
together to two long pieces of black fabric so that each sides butt's up
against the other side. If needed trim the fabric to fit snuggly against
each other. DO NOT OVERLAP THE TWO PIECES OF FABRIC. When you're
satisfied with the fit, begin stapling each side to the board. At this
point, you are stapling through both the fabric and the padding, so you
will need a reasonably long staple. Once stapling is completed, simply
follow sawhorse bracket instructions to finish putting your piece
together. Happy Horsing... |
