Dismantling a Horse

The typical saw horse isn't particularly sophisticated or revolutionary really. Simple in design but incredibly useful. Well, there's an old pair of saw horses in the basement that weren't very useful anymore. So, I was put to the task of dismantling them for the trash (and maybe keep the wood if it's useful). In doing so, I came to understand how they were put together. =\ It was a frustrating lesson. What appeared to be just gator teeth that poked in to the wood to keep the wood boards together turned into that plus many screws. Some of which were difficult to access. It's no wonder they had lasted for so long! Due to much use and its age though, those screws loosened and bent, and the gator teeth lost their grip...but not enough to make it an easy task. I was sweating by the time I finished...a good half hour or 45 minutes later!
