I attached the legs to the backs with 1/2" dowels. Loose tenons would also work well.

Tap the dowels into the back first.

It's easier than putting them into the ends of the angled legs.

Tap the back onto the legs.

Draw the joints up tight with clamps. You may need to readjust

the angle of the clamps while tightening in order to get the joints to close evenly.

Add a block in the notch at the bottom of the leg to center the clamping pressure.

Remove the sharp corners by routing a 1/8" or 1/4"  round on all the parts.

Glue and screw the foot to to the leg with a 3" to 4" screw.

The completed saw horses hard at work.

When not in use the saw horses nest neatly together taking up only

slightly more floor space than one by itself.
