Benchtop Horse Puts Tools in Easy Reach

I like the convenience of storing my carving tools in a canvas roll, but pulling them out when I need them can be a pain (sometimes, quite literally). At a carving class I attended, I noted that the instructor draped his roll over a mini-sawhorse. Compared to a flat-laid roll, his setup required less bench space and put all the tools within easy reach. 

My version takes the original design up a notch. After sizing the beam to match my roll, I routed a dovetailed groove into each leg and routed the dovetailed ends of the beam to fit. The knock-down joinery eliminates any need for additional parts or fasteners that could get lost in transit.
