         22 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said base support extends from a face lower edge. 
     
     
         23 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said overhang is substantially parallel with said face. 
     
     
         24 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said first side is substantially parallel with said second side. 
     
     
         25 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said overhang extends substantially downwardly and perpendicularly from said top so that the overhang is substantially parallel with said face, and said top is substantially parallel with said support. 
     
     
         26 . The apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein said first side extends from said face first edge, and said second side extends from said face second edge, and said top extends from said face upper edge, and said base support extends from said face lower edge. 
     
     
         27 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein at least one of the overhang aperture, first side aperture, second side aperture, and support aperture is capable of receiving a nail therethrough. 
     
     
         28 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said first side is about 1 and 17/32 inches from said second side. 
     
     
         29 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said support extends from said face by about 1 and ⅜ inches. 
     
     
         30 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said support aperture is disposed about 1 and ⅛ inches from said face. 
     
     
         31 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein at least one of said first side aperture and said second side aperture is about 0.8125 inches from said face. 
     
     
         32 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said first side aperture is offset with respect to said second side aperture. 
     
     
         33 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said overhang aperture is disposed about ¾ inch downwardly from said top. 
     
     
         34 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein at least one of the overhang aperture, first side aperture, second side aperture, and support aperture has a diameter of about 5/32 of an inch. 
     
     
         35 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein a vertical distance from said top to said support is about 3 and ½ inches. 
     
     
         36 . The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein said first side and said second side are about 2 and ¼ inches in length, measured vertically, and disposed about ⅝ inch downwardly from said top. 
     
     
         37 . A saw horse joining system for receiving first and second beams each having a predetermined width and height, comprising:
 a face oriented substantially vertically; and having first and second vertically oriented peripheral edges; a base support extending perpendicularly forwardly from said face;   said base support oriented substantially horizontally, a top extending perpendicularly rearwardly from said face; said top disposed upwardly from said base said top oriented substantially horizontally; and said first and second beams having top surfaces being substantially in the same plane; a first side extending forwardly from said face at one peripheral edge thereof, said first side oriented substantially vertically, a second side extending forwardly from said face at the second peripheral edge thereof, said second side oriented substantially vertically, said second side disposed in a spaced apart parallel-plane relative to the first side to form a pair of sidewalls, and an overhang extending downwardly from said top, said overhang oriented substantially vertically, said overhang disposed rearwardly from said face, said overhang and said base support being at least far enough apart to receive the second beam's height so that the second beam extends not higher than the top;   said top, face and overhang forming a boundary for receiving the first beam orthogonal to the second beam, whereby the top surfaces of said first and second beams are substantially in the same planes, so that a work piece placed on top of said beams will be substantially supported by both beams simultaneously.
