I have watched several different videos on building these horses. And this video is the easiest one I have found to follow along with. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Terrific instructions! I have 2 non-foldable sawhorses and, since I don't really have any weather-proof place to keep them, they live in my living room to keep them from rotting away. It's QUITE a pain in the butt, LOL! With your instructions - and great visuals - I might actually have to give a try to making these.
Thanks for sharing info and demonstrating how to make a folding sawhorse. Here's a tip: Before sawing the 'magic cut', to alleviate the problem of potentially sawing 'too far' with the jig saw, perhaps drilling a small diameter hole at the corner will let you know when to stop sawing.
Great job explaining Brother. I've watched several vids, on this design, in the past couple of days, and your video is easy to follow. All of the info and a friendly voice rather than hyped up music. ~Keep on Keepin On~ Friend.
Beautifully explained and I will do it for myself. I am in England and we use cm or mm as measurements and not in inches. I really appreciate your workmanship. Best wishes from ENGLAND. Ahmed
I've seen loads of videos to find a good design for a saw horse recently. This is the best design and the best instructional video I've come across. It worked a treat!! cheers from the UK!!
Good video but…. SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY Glasses are a must. Never cut with your arms crossed Keep all other objects (tape measure, pencil, etc) away from the saw, and out of your hands, when cutting.
To stop mine from opening too far, I drilled 8mm holes just under the bolts at a slight downwards angle, and stuck hex keys through to lock them in place, because, I get tons of the same hex key all the bleedin' time with every bit of home assembly furniture that I don't need, and no string.
I do have 1 quick question: The rope/string at the bottom keeps the legs from getting too far apart, but how would you make sure they don't accidentally fold back IN?
Does the video ever mention how wide them braces are? Doesn't quite look like 3ft but definitely more than 2ft. Or is that measurement to one's liking? Awesome vid, thanks for sharing!
This is what I’ve been looking for , I’m wondering if I could use 1 x 4’s to make them lighter ? Also would a bungee cord work instead of a string ? Thankyou for the video & May God Bless
You can use whatever boards you like - just keep in mind the weights you intend to be working with. The purpose of the string is to keep the jaws from opening wider than they should so a bungee cord would allow it to stretch past that point.
This is my first project and the plans says something about the 10• bevel and it’s making me go nuts… do I really need that angle ? What is it for anyway
I have another question , how did you determine the 2” dimension cut where the top 2x4 sits on , the reason I’m asking is I like your design & I’m going to build some out of 1” stock for light work , so if my top board is 3/4” thick or 1” if I use sawmill lumber , how do I determine the width of the cut where my top board will sit ? I am a subscriber so if you respond I’ll see your answer , Thankyou
I understand where you’re coming from. This is not fine woodworking so you can be off in your measurements and it will still work. Using 2x4 (1 1/2 x 3 1/2) lumber, when applying the 90 degree cutout of the jaw opening you need the top of the jaw to be about 1/2 the width of the board you will be clamping. So rather than concentrating on the 2” mark, I should have slid my right angle along the 22 degree line until I got around 3/4” (1/2 the width of the 2x4) and drawn my line. Using a true 1” board that would place you at 1/2” at the top, 3/8” if you’re using 3/4”. Make sense? You can always use a cut out piece of paper to verify these cuts before you actually make them if you’re unsure of the final measurements. Good luck!
@@TigerCreekFarm Thankyou very much , yes your instructions are clear , I’m wanting to build one out of the thinner material for light work , ease of storage, etc; again Thankyou , Mike here
Just made one thanks. Clearest video I've seen yet on this style. Had a mare getting it all straight/square, but sorted in the end. I get the impression in woodworking get things square is half the battle? Cheers.

I watched this video and then found three others making similar sawhorses. This was by far the clearest to follow and made the most sense. Thank you.
Please do more woodwork videos, you're a great teacher and you explain everything so well.
Is true, he explained very well 👏 👌 👍 HI from Chihuahua México.
Yes !
Two years ago , and this is a great video . Best info on this style of saw horse.
Love the simplicity of the design of these, and the fact you can hang them on the wall between uses!

Thanks for explaining these in simple and understandable term's so most anyone can build them.
I watched several videos on how to make these, your video explains the process best and your ideas make for a good / easy job. Thank you very much!
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Great video!! You were so clear on the measurements of the notches , I can do it! Thank you, Ron
Best explination I've seen for this design. Thank you.
I like this one from all the others i offloaded. I only want the sawing corners.

Great tip!
I've watched other DIY videos, but this one was easy to follow. Thanks for the Upload bro!
Great design and really nice video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the ease of instruction.
Lots of carpenters don't know how to build saw horse.
Very good video. Thank you very much. I plan on making a couple of these based on your excellent instructions.
Great job explaining Brother. I've watched several vids, on this design, in the past couple of days, and your video is easy to follow. All of the info and a friendly voice rather than hyped up music. ~Keep on Keepin On~ Friend.
I appreciate the kind words.

Thank you. Believe it or not I lived in Oxfordshire many, many years ago.
Thanks for sharing, so easy, there’ll be a couple in New Zealand cheers
Well explained! Tnx!
Thank you sir. Well done video with perfect explanation.
I appreciate it.
Best tutorial I have seen on saw horses
Wow. Thank you.
I've seen loads of videos to find a good design for a saw horse recently. This is the best design and the best instructional video I've come across. It worked a treat!! cheers from the UK!!
Glad you like it!
Excelllent. Helpful.Thank you.
Never cross your arms when using power miter saw…just a bad habit to get into
Thank you 👍
😁great job, best i have seen to be the easiest and quickest. thanks
New sub. Excellent presentation and information!!!
Thanks!!!!
Just what I was looking for
Great video.
Good video but….
SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY
Glasses are a must.
Never cut with your arms crossed
Keep all other objects (tape measure, pencil, etc) away from the saw, and out of your hands, when cutting.
Real handy. Well done.
Nice work....
Thanks

nice video bro
thank you sir for this vidio
Was it 22.5 or 22.0 degrees?
22.5
Thanks! Best explained video…thanks again!
Thanks - I appreciate you.
ouch my arm! watching you use a chop saw holding the wood across your body like that makes me hear the voice of my wood shop teacher in my head.
Absolutely right. I've caught more grief over this - and rightfully so - in order to capture the shot.
....USE THE SPEED SQUARE ON BOTH SIDES, when squaring the legs! The other side is already fixed, for crying out loud
Loved It!
Some people would starve waiting on someone else to make them one.
You can swap various designs for the top to make it even more useful.
Exactly!
I do have 1 quick question: The rope/string at the bottom keeps the legs from getting too far apart, but how would you make sure they don't accidentally fold back IN?
You could notch a board on each end the same distance apart the legs are and drop it in.
From Leesburg GA a hearty GO DAWGS!
Hey neighbor!
You should watch a TH-cam video on using a framing square.
All I know how to build is a sandwich
Nice 👍🏼.💯🔥
I like simple.
Sick ‘em Dawgs!
Does the video ever mention how wide them braces are? Doesn't quite look like 3ft but definitely more than 2ft. Or is that measurement to one's liking? Awesome vid, thanks for sharing!
Make them as tall or wide as you need.
Hey thanks, great job explaining, I will be making a pair. GO DOGS!!!

There is no 10 degree angle involved. The leg ends are 22.5 degrees and the mouth is a 90 degree angle from the leg end.
Very easy. Can you give the specs,please.
specs are in the video - height is determined by the end user.
cool video keep it up bro

NEVER cross your arms in front of any saw!!! You could lose an arm.
NEVER hold the wood down across the saw blade.
I've caught a lot of grief for this - and rightly so. Trying to stay out of the way of the camera is my excuse.
Super underrated video man. Subriscibed
Appreciate it!
Could the top of the legs be cut in such a way that you could lay the top rail edge wise as shown or lay flat?
If I understand you correctly it could - but it would require the use of 2x6 or 2x8 as the sawhorse frame structure.
👍
Hi just wondering what size bolts Thanks for the video
I seem to remember them being 3/8x4
Just made one thanks. Clearest video I've seen yet on this style. Had a mare getting it all straight/square, but sorted in the end. I get the impression in woodworking get things square is half the battle? Cheers.
Is there someone that can give the dimentions for me?
specs are in the video.
Is it 22° or 22.5° ?
22.5 - one half of 45
Go Dawgs
Not so keen on your cross arm technique with the mitre saw, even for small cuts.
I take a lot of grief for this. The things I do for a camera shot ;-)
You almost had it. I can build the same thing with 3/4 ply and no need for a strap or rope. Give me an email and I will send you the plans.
Hello, at this point : th-cam.com/video/Cu0gNo6genw/w-d-xo.html that depends on what kind of materials you are using? The 2 inch in?
If I understand you correctly - that cut is based on the thickness of the replaceable board you will be using on your sawhorse.
@@TigerCreekFarm yes that's correct, thank you
How 'bout them Dawgs?
Sic ‘em! Let the big dawg eat ;-)
What kinda bike do you have
Softtail
On 9:20 Is it really 90° degree?
Shit, I expected to see blood on the ground the way you use that SCMS. I am outa here.
Yep - all of the criticism is justified. The tings I will do to keep my hand/arms out of the camera shot ;-)
I recommend you understand I've followed his directions and I've wasted my money on 2x4s because it's all bullshit
Love it. Straight forward info on the layout, cuts, assembly.
If only you had a pair of sawhorses so you did not have to work on the ground. Oh wait. Thanks.
