Safety First
Always be careful when using power tools. Wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from any flying pieces of wood. Also avoid injury by keeping your hands and fingers out of the way of saw blades and drill bits. If you're new to woodworking, seek the guidance of someone with experience using power tools.
Add the Top and Sides
Next come the top and sides of the saddle stand. Again, make sure to pre-drill holes in the receiving lumber before driving in the screws.
Finishing Touches
After the stand is assembled, run sandpaper over any rough edges. The last step is to add handles to the ends of the stand. When you're ready, use your straight edge to measure, center and mark where you want to place the handles. Pre-drill holes, and then fasten the handles into place on each end of the saddle stand.
