17. A sawhorse comprising:
a first side having opposite lateral edge edges, a top edge, and a bottom edge, said first side having a plurality of openings in said bottom edge defining slots each having lateral slot edges defining a width of each said slot, and each said slot having a terminal edge between said bottom edge and said top edge of said first side, wherein said terminal edge defines a length to which each said slot extends into said first side from said bottom edge, said slots being spaced from each other within said first side and said slots being spaced from said lateral edges of said first side, said lateral edges of said slots adjacent to each other defining a plurality of intermediate legs having a width corresponding to a distance between said lateral edges of said slots adjacent to each other, said lateral edges of said slots adjacent to said lateral edges of said first side defining outer legs, said intermediate legs located between said outer legs, each of said legs being fully cantilevered from said terminal edges to said bottom edges, said first side including a first continuous portion of material between said terminal edges and said top edge;
a second side having opposite second lateral edge edges, a second top edge, a second bottom edge, said second side having a plurality of second openings in said second bottom edge defining second slots each having second lateral slot edges defining a width of each second slot, and each said second slot having a second terminal edge between said second bottom edge and said second top edge of said second side, wherein said second terminal edge defines a length to which each said second slot extends into said second side from said second bottom edge, said second slots being spaced from each other within said second side and said second slots being spaced from said second lateral edges of said second side, said second lateral edges of said second slots adjacent to each other defining a plurality of second intermediate legs having a width corresponding to a distance between said second lateral edges of said second slots adjacent to each other, said second lateral edges of said second slots adjacent to said second lateral edges of said second side defining second outer legs, said second intermediate legs located between said second outer legs, each of said second legs being fully cantilevered from said second terminal edges to said second bottom edges, said second side including a second continuous portion of material between said second terminal edges and said second top edge; and
said first and second sides joined by a hinge for allowing pivotal movement of said sides with respect to each other between a closed position and an open position said first and second sides pivotal with respect to each other about an axis of said hinge, said first and second terminal edges having a first distance apart corresponding to said closed position and a second distance apart corresponding to said open position, said second distance being larger than said first distance.
