A device for supporting and clamping workpieces, such as doors or boards, against the ends of vertically-set sawhorses legs in such a way that the edge of such workpieces is located at a convenient working height. Such operations as planing, hinge mortising, routing, belt sanding or the like are facilitated by this arrangement. An internally threaded tube (20) accepts at one end a bolt (40) carrying leg clamping jaw (32). At the other end the tube (20) accepts another bolt (54) carrying a movable elongated door clamping jaw (44). A third, non-movable leg clamping jaw (26) is affixed to tube (20) about 76.2 mm (3') from jaw (32). The entire door support clamp is clamped to a sawhorse leg between jaws (32) and (44), resulting in the remaining portion of tube (20) being cantilevered out beyond the sawhorse leg. This resultant cantilevered support area (60) of tube (20) is then available for support of workpieces with clamping readily available by jaw (44).
