A sawhorse bracket comprising a U-channel and two rectangular tubes. The U-channel comprises two vertical plates joined together at their base by a first hollow square tube that is welded to the base of each of the first and second vertical plates at their front section and by a second hollow square tube that is welded to the base of each of the vertical plates at their rear section. The first and second square tubes are configured to create a gap between them at a base and in a center of the U-channel. The rectangular tubes are roughly centered on the outside surfaces of the vertical plates. The distal end of each of the rectangular tubes is open for receiving a piece of lumber. The long axis of the first and second rectangular tubes is oriented in the range of eight to fifteen degrees downward from a horizontal plane.
