    Hi. As an old shop teacher, may I suggest a couple of easy improvements? 1) Don't glue down the top board; this way if you run your saw through it you can remove and replace it. Knowing that it's easily replaceable means you can use it as a sacrificial piece of wood. 2) Attach the top piece with brass screws; this way if you run your saw into a screw you don't damage your saw blade since brass is soft. Because brass is soft, after pre-drilling your pilot hole drive a steel screw the same size as your brass screws into the wood to cut the threads, then remove the steel screw and install the brass screws. 3) Instead of the 2x2 and dowel to lock the horse open, substitute a piece of 3/4" plywood with a notch cut into it that will latch onto the cross bar to secure the horse in the open position.

      Scott, great suggetsion. Question: if you screw down a top board as you suggest, and it gets sacrificed/replaced multiple times wouldn't taking out / putting in screws over and over round out the trheads? Is there a way to attach with bolts or other means? Thanks!

      Pivoting off this idea, here's an alternative that I've now implemented:
      1. Glue a 2x4 and 2x6 flat together, with one of the edges flush. The 2x4 is the top and 2x6 the "base" of this setup.
      2. Drill 1.5" deep holes into the top (2x4) centered on the 2x6 at ~4 locations.
      3. Screw the 2x4 / 2x6 piece to the sawhorse base through the holes in #2.
      4. Drill a few holes most of the way through the 2x4 / 2x6 from the top. Glue dowels into these. This ensures a very strong connection between these two top boards.
      I've now made 2 sawhorses like this. It's really nice to have the "shelf" on the 2x6 where I can clamp something to both the 2x4 and 2x6 in different directions. No issues after several projects with these, and they seem like they'll last several years before I need to replace the top 2 pieces.

      @@philippeb4972 You could use screw inserts and bolts if you want to go to the trouble, but I don't think there's a rule that says you need to use the same holes. Even if you do and they become stripped, drill out the holes to accommodate a dowel, glue it in and re-drill for screws. Also remember this is a saw horse, not an heirloom tool. :-)

    The first half of the th-cam.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

    I'm building a 12x16 shed and needed something to cut my wood on. I made one but it was too tall so I improvised and made it work . However, now I can make a better one after watching you make yours. It's my first wood project and being a female attempting this with only youtube as my teacher and the Holy Spirit as my strength, I'd say I'm doing pretty well right now. I am about 1/2 way done and I am really excited to see it completed. Thank you for this video.

    I saw your video and you motivated me to build 4 of these. I hated the idea of needing more saw horses but spending ~$10 to buy one that wouldn't last. This motivates me to build my own and having something that will last for a much longer time. So, don't listen to the critical people....they're bitter and think it will make them feel better to put someone as low as they feel themselves....Stay positive. Keep encouraging people with your thoughts, what works for you, and great ideas. You're doing great!

    1st project I did when I started my home shop was to build sawhorses. Can't do much framing without them. These look heavy compared to other designs I've used. As I've aged, weight and dual use became important. Now my favorite pair of horses are my 32 gallon plastic trash cans. Flip one over for chop saw or a small table top. Leave one upright to hold the scrap pieces you'd need to pick up later. When paired upright they also support both sides of the cut so the cutoff piece doesn't need to be held. Also useful between projects for their stated utility.

    Thanks for the video. It's an old-fashioned practice, perhaps, but my great-grandmother and my grandmother used sawhorses (called saw frames in Britain) to hold quilting frames while in use. When not in use, they hung the frames on the kitchen ceiling. I am building a pair for a quilting friend. 30" inches, per your plan is likely to be good. If too high, I can easily cut an inch or three. Thanks for the plan.

Your concern is correct and you need to adjust for that. A friend made a set and used a piece of plywood to be the hinge that held them in place when extended and became a shelf that would be useful.

    I'm getting ready to refurbish a small sailboat and have been looking around for sawhorse ideas (for to set the boat upon it... them). This is the best combination of simple, quick to build, strong, and foldable. Also, it's my first encounter with Pneumatic Addict, so good on ya, and thanks for the good design.

      Did you end up building this? I was looking at buying materials for it today, but noticed a couple of potential issues.
      If you did build some, did screwing the hinges opposite each other on the 2” runner, cause any issues with the screws running into each other?
      Also, did the barrel of the hinge interfere with attaching the top plate? To me it looks like they’d create a void between the runner and the top plate.

    I changed to these from a set of folding saw horses I built last year from old pallet wood. Just a bit shorter so I can add "rollers" for an out feed for my table saw. Mine have two holes for dowels in the top so I can also add a butcher block style top to turn them into a portable workbench. Great idea and LUV the hair.

    When I saw this video title presented by courtesy of Google Algorithm, I thought not another sawhorse video but the aspect of "Heavy Duty Folding" piqued my curiosity. I must say this is perhaps one of the best folding sawhorses that are truly HD grade. I was trying to decide between 5 others on the YT, but I think I am going make these and especially with your generous "free plans" is an offer I can't refuse; lol Rama

      @@charlesascott661 Yes I made them over a year ago and turned out well. As I did not remember what you are asking, I looked at it again and think I know what is your concern. Yes, you do run into the issue of the screws from the two hinges on the opposite sides can interfering. I must have run into this as well but I used only a 3/4"long but #10 wood screws. These are shorter but thicker screws that don't run into each other. They have held up very well as the resting force is mostly on the pivot of the hinge and the bevel of the legs supporting the runner. Alternatively, you could offset the hinges from either side slightly and they should work fine as the folding action only requires that they are in line on their own side of the runner. Hope this is clear and helps

    I did it today. But a micro version - only 40 cm tall and wide, as I needed a support for a very heavy bench. These miniatures look really funny, but also, very sturdy. I bet these could easily hold the weight of a car. I added a few little bits (Tee plate), bigger support beam and chain to hold the legs together. I think tomorrow I will do the exact copy from your plans. Big thanks for your encouragement!

  • @sean6077
    @sean6077 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    i think the only thing i'd change is...instead of using a wood dowel for the pin, i'd use a metal rod. you can use a small amount epoxy to hold it in. that way, much lower chance it'll break. other than that, cool design.

    • @lajohnson1ly
      @lajohnson1ly 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Probably means having to cut a section of rod to proper length, which means carrying a hacksaw, and a file to smooth the cut edge, thus doubling the needed tools. Use a hardwood dowel.

      Build tracks for circular saws using circular saw and factory edge of plywood.

This is extremely accurate unless there is an alignment issue between the saw's blade and base plate.
