         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first component further comprises a third cross member substantially parallel to the first cross member and substantially parallel to the first leg and the second leg. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , further comprising a connecting means attached between the second cross member and the third cross member configured to limit the distance between the second cross member and the third cross member. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the connecting means is at least one of a chain, a cable, and a rope. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a support means connected to the first cross member, the support means configured to support a fourth cross member. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the fourth cross member comprises at least one of a wooden member, an aluminum member, and a steel member. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a first peg attached to the first cross member and a second peg attached to one of the third leg and fourth leg, the second leg attached such that the first peg stops the rotation of the third and fourth legs when the second peg meets the first peg. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , further comprising a third peg on the opposing end of the first cross member and a fourth peg on the other of the third and fourth leg, such that the fourth peg stops the rotation of the third and fourth legs when the fourth peg meets the third peg. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the first cross member is rotatably disposed inside the third leg and an end of the fourth leg is rotatably disposed inside the second end of the first cross member. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first end of the first cross member is rotatably disposed inside the third leg and the second end of the first cross member is rotatably disposed inside an end of the fourth leg. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein an end of the third leg is rotatably disposed inside a first end of the first cross member and an end of the fourth leg is rotatably disposed inside a second end of the first cross member. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a tray connected to a leg of the first component and a leg of the second component. 
     
     
         13 . A saw horse system comprising:
 a first component comprising a first leg, a second leg, and a first cross member; and   a second component comprising a third leg, a fourth leg and a second cross member, the top of the third leg and the top of the fourth leg rotatably connecting to the first cross member through an opening in the circumference of the top of the third leg and in the circumference of the top of the fourth leg.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the first component further comprises a fifth leg and a sixth leg, the first leg configured inside the third leg, the second leg configured inside the fourth leg, the fifth leg configured outside the first leg, and the sixth leg outside the second leg. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the first component further comprises a third cross member configured between the first leg and the second leg and substantially perpendicular to both the first leg and the second leg. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising a connecting means connected between the second cross member and the third cross member, the length of the connecting means defining the maximum angle between the first component and the second component. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising a first peg attached to the first component and a second peg attached to the second component such that the first peg stops the rotation of the second component when the second peg meets the first peg. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , further comprising a third peg on the opposing end of the first component and a fourth peg on the opposing end of the second component such that the fourth peg stops the rotation of the second component when the fourth peg meets the third peg. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising a tray connected to a leg of the first component and a leg of the second component.
