The Sawhorse Workshop - This place has four different designs, each with different features (you have to pay to get one of the plans). It also has plans for making clamping tables.

Does anyone know how to build or have any plans to build some of the attachments for the Rockwell Jawhorse.
Like the work table attachment or the miter station
