The patent application relates to a saw horse having at least two stand elements, each stand element (1) having a base (4) and two vertical braces (2) which in each case leave an interspace (5) between one another for accommodating wood (21) to be sawed or the like, and which project upwardly from the base (4). One vertical brace (2) of one stand element (1) is connected to a vertical brace (2) of the other stand element (1) via a connecting element (6) in such a way that the interspaces (5) of the two stand elements (1) are aligned with one another in an operating position in which the connecting elements (6) extend parallel to one another. In order to achieve a refinement that is advantageous for use, it is proposed that the connecting elements (6) are pivotably secured to the vertical braces (2) so that the saw horse may be folded up in a parallelogram-like manner from its operating position, in which the connecting elements (6) are spaced at a maximum distance from one another, into a storage position in which the connecting elements (6) are spaced at a minimum distance from one another.
