I used 1 length of 3/4" med gal pipe cut into four equal lengths and using a pipe bender I bent the pipe until the legs were 700 mm apart. Then I cut 4 lengths of 25 x 3 square hollow tube into 180 mm lengths then hole saw drilled a half circle hole close to the end - can put two pieces together to cut easier. After prepping the weld I set the 25x3 stubs on the top of the pipe legs and set a jig to hold the legs correct for all four welds. the bottom of the legs is offset 250 mm from the top to get a good legs angle. I used a 30 x 2 mm square hollow tube and cut pairs of various lengths of cross bars that slide over the legs stubs. You can make a locking mechanism to hold the bars on the legs but I have very rarely had a problem with the bars separating from the legs. if you want to use for woodworking you can tek screw or bolt a timber piece onto the cross bar. I have a set of roller supports I can attach to the cross bar to support timber while using the table saw or drill press. The leg extensions for sloping ground are shown under the sawhorses. Other leg extensions can be made to adapt the sawhorses to match workbench/table heights to allow large projects to be worked on. I have used 25 mm pipe lengths as cross bars while making pipe and mesh panels 2400 x 2400 square. I have a set of hooks to hang these on the wall out of the way while not in use. They work great when the weather is fine and you want to work outside by putting a large plywood sheet on them to use as a worktable - especially for house projects.
