This is absolutely so perfectly timed. I will be building a timber frame shed over my sawmill. And since this is my first project, this is exactly what I need to get my skills going in the right direction. Thank you so much... signing up for the course now!!!
We’re so happy to hear that!! It is exactly what we had in mind when we designed this course. We wish you the best of luck with this build and all future projects!
This is a great project. Questions answered. What is nice is the breakdown as my first project is outdoors. ITs a basic shelter shed in prep for the big structures. Right now, there is nothing but rain and snow. So the breakdown helps in keeping the weather off these guys. Dont want them getting weathered after all the work.
Not Funny! I almost finished my workbench prior to my move. So I can imagine using these to support my workbench in a shed for a dining table until I get the rest built. Bootstrapping a homestead from scratch!
How do wedges work? Are they engaging a rectangular prism of a mortise, so contact on one line segment? Or does the mortise have a matching taper, so contact on one face or plane?
@@ShelterInstitute You sound even more confused now... Mass isn't a measure of size. My comment attempts to point out that these sawhorses would likely fit in a vehicle for transport regardless of if they knock down or not and by making the design a knockdown you only increase the amount of work to build, work to move, and the likelihood of a wobbly horse.
@@mitchbrown3911 If we are talking height specifically, then the feet could be removable only. It's not a good design IMNSHO because a horse is designed to be rigid and get work done. This risks a lot of resetting tusk tenons with any significant work not to mention a whole setup procedure before even being usable.
Awesome! I’ve used my timber frame skills on several projects since I took the class but never thought about this. Thanks
Of course, thank you for watching!
Gonna do a couple of these for sure,thanks
You won’t regret it! Very fun project and they are BEEFY

Awesome for building confidence!
Exactly!
Signed up and excited to start
This one is a blast! Feel free to reach out any time if you have any questions!
When your saw horses are nicer than your dining room table.
Hahaha they could be used as a dining room table!

I like it. Any chance we can just buy the plans? Already took your course.
Yes! Plans are available at sheltertools.com under the “cut sheets” section!

so uh how much smaller is a broken down sawhorse than an assembled sawhorse?
By mass it is the same

It goes from waist height to 6” in height. That’s not a bad space saving. But I also appreciate your comment and not everyone needs to save space.

A work of art…for work! I would think they were a bit tall for the average man to construct timbers for a house though. No?
Timber frame step ladder course up next?? 🤔
And don't forget to, "Pet the dog".
Indeed!!

What wood are you using?
Sorry, saw the video, Eastern White Pine.
Looks a Sumo Wrestler can do gymnastics on that.
Well put! 😂
I like this but would make the height adjustable.
Thank you!
🙌🙌
Thank you for watching!
The wood will shrink for two years though…so, perfect it non existent.
