You wanted it, so you're gettin' it! Simple folding sawhorses to prevent my own death. 😂

- Hello folks! I think I received hundreds of comments from my last video saying I should really get some sawhorses to take to the cliff because everyone thinks I'm gonna kill myself! I aim to please, so here they are!
I have watched several videos on different sawhorse styles, but settled on one by Steve Ramsey (for a simple folding sawhorse with shelf), and part way through discovered yet another video by Sharpey's Workshop showing an even simpler one that I really liked. I ended up using a combination of both of those designs to come up with my own version! The nice thing about Sharpey's Workshop version is that it requires the least amount of hardware (2 hinges and some screws), no challenging cuts (the lap joins could be omitted for the sake of time, or lack of tools but I really like the sleekness they add to the overall look). The only thing I purchased for this entire set of sawhorses was one pair of hinges ($5) for the second one I made.
I tried to design a fabric shelf for the bottom, but it didn't quite work out as well as I was hoping - I will either tweak it, or just use an old ratchet strap again, or try a wooden shelf design. Or just leave it Michelle, cuz who cares. 😂
Clyde is doing really well following 3 tooth extractions and some other work to his mouth (gums), and a deep ear cleaning (plant matter found in one ear!). I can't get over what a sweet soul of a dog he is 💝 Makes me sad to think of all the great dogs out there without homes 😔
See you all in the next video!

A sawhorse is a sawhorse and you are gonna love them. Thumbs up to you for this one. 👍👍👍
Clyde's coffee stare was killing me!! So funny!!
I know! He’s very serious about it!! 😂
U R MOST ACCOMPLISHED PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHAT YOU DO IN THE AREA THAT U LIVE IN IS ADMIRABLE. VIDEOS ARE UNUSUALLY EFFECTIVE AND PROFESSIONALLY DONE. LIKE SPENDING TIME WITH YOU-AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU WITH FEELINGS
80 yr old male in SW TN. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Michelle...If i may? The "gratefulness" is in what and how you have changed Clydes life. He's a wonderful boi! You're a wonderful lady too! 😊
Clyde was lucky to meet you.... May joy and happiness accompany you every day Michelle. See you again 🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💋
Id love being hugged too in the snow. But hes def one of the bestest boys ive seen in ages.
Very sweet moment with your dog. Such a kind creature.
So happy you made those sawhorses!!!😊
I know right? watching her cutting off from her leg or foot just made me cringe..
Well, it was a little dodgy on the last run. Even I was getting slightly worried... 🤔
@@poull.sivebaekjensen4058 ... it was damn scary.. now it's safer and it's going to be faster..
Very good Video and you are looking very beautiful ❤️
I'm not entirely certain why, but your videos make me happy and bring me moments of peace. Thank you, Michygoss Michelle.
You’re welcome!
Now that I have been able to see a bit more of Clyde, close up, and hear his bay, I can definitively state that he is 100% Treeing Walker Coonhound. Thank you for adopting him. Most folks are not prepared to care for these hounds. They need room to run and they can be very vocal (especially at night). Clyde is a lucky dog to have such great owners now. Good work on that sawhorse!
Steve and I both think that Clyde has some bloodhound in him - do you see that? His colours are definitely TWC, but some other physical features look bloodhound. Makes me wanna do a DNA test on him!
Glad to see you got saw horse
@@michygoss7148 , I have had the blessing of taking care of dozens of hounds over the past two decades. I rescue Walkers. I have had others; English Foxhounds, American Foxhounds, Blue Ticks, red Bones, mountain Cur, beagles of different varieties from pocket beagle to Harrier. Clyde has a big blockhead like one of my larger TWCs. That dog was bread to chase bear originally before he was abandoned and fell into my care. Clyde is a bit larger boned than the average TWC perhaps but he really looks and sounds like a TWC. They are so loyal and affectionate. Mine enjoy baying loudly in response to packs of coyote and sometimes, just to hear the sound of their own voices echo off the mountains around them. My window panes rattle from their nightly cacophony. Keeps the wolves at bay.
@@michygoss7148 He may have some bloodhound or possibly red bone . We had dozens of Hounds when I was young. My dad and uncles bear hunted with them . Also my great uncle was a trapper for California and they used them to hunt cougars as well with an Airedale terrier in the mix. Hounds are great for having around young children too the only down fall I can think of is as a kid sometimes it's rough when your eyeballs are tail height . 🤣 I still have both though. 😁
@@JDPas Steve and I joined a bloodhound rescue group and every time I see a bloodhound I see Clyde in there. I have come to love hounds, despite the work they are, they are just such a unique breed. 💝
Yay! We're keeping Mitchygoss safe and productive!
Those are fine! There are as many sawhorse designs as there are carpenters, and it depends on what you need them to do. Yours are light and portable, as they ought to be. And, believe me, you always need a couple sawhorses, for one thing or another. They can sit under your cabin, waiting to be a table, or to hold something being painted, or whatever.
Glad Clyde gets lots of love and hugs and he even is on TH-cam. Thanks for saving his life and giving him a great life. Love the saw horses for your next time at the cliff.
Yay! No more one handed wielding of lethal spinny bladed things!
That's what I like.. Adapt ideas and make your own final product. I also don't like to "steal" ideas or just copy them, I always think of exactly what I need and then modify or combine accordingly. Good use of scrap or repurposed wood. I had some particle board pieces around the shop, which I tripped every day over it, last weeek I took the pieces, cut them and made a table for my 3d printer. It came out quite nice, not a craftsman beauty but more functional than it needs to be. On the other side, well, we all know how the particle board works.. 😉 Cheers, Michy, keep on.
Saw horses help you by making the work more convenient and controlled and maybe save your back from strain. I like "em !
Good show!
Bless your heart! I am one of those who commented on the sawhorses, and the fact that you responded to our comments - and so quickly - is remarkable. And don't worry about Clyde's "toofies" for a second. I am sure he is much more comfortable without bad teeth. He's likely very thankful.
I like ole Clide , he is the kind of old pal I like, great saw horses , and you will use them alot, I do mine! Take care and stay warm! Ole fart from Alabama 🤠🤠🤠🤠
For your shelf idea on the lower part of the sawhorse, put a piece of plywood with a hinge on one side and a simple screen door hook or wood cleat on the other. That way when you fold the horse up the plywood shelf will fold up towards the top and when you put the horse to work you can hook it or have the cleat hold it open so that it is more stable. Thanks for sharing.
You love dogs (and animals too, I'd bet my life) as much as we do. THANK YOU. HE'S BEAUTIFUL! They're more human than most humans. Many humans aren't even human.
Great job on the horses. Try not to forget that design is a hand pincher!
True! Instead of sawing my leg off, I’ll amputate a finger or two. 🤣
@@michygoss7148 You shall now be know as "9 1/2"!
good form. strong frame. healthy care. preventive maintenance. well done , thanks
Glad to see you made horses. You'll use them more then you think.
Poor Clyde 😢 He’ll feel better when he heals. I agree with every word he said, too. Bless you for making him part of your family. He’s where he is supposed to be. He loves you so much.
...and I’m stealing that sawhorse idea,thanks for that. Might adapt if for a saddle stand for my wife, too.
@@corneliuscrewe677 I think Sharpeys workshop deserves the most credit for this!
@@michygoss7148 I will check them out, but you brought it to my attention👍
I had the same thought, only to be dashed by a dose of reality. The fabric shelf is a great place to hold your tools while working on a project. Turns out, a pencil and a screwdriver or two are about all it can reliably handle.
I meant to say this the other day. But thanks for building those. I know you are a smart lady but I was still worried and will feel better with you have support for your work. Love the rescues and so glad you can do that. It can be hard but it is normally very rewarding. Keep up the good work and good works.
Great job building your sawhorses Michelle
bonjour michelle. many thanks for your most recent vidéo. Steve Ramsey is an ace at DIY'ing. you've done well to copy and make the sawhorses your own model and style. many thanks too for the orange sky with the snow. life is good in British Columbia. cheers
Saw horses make excellent buffet table stands, ya never know, next gathering/ cabin warming 😀
Another Great Video, Michelle.
Steve is a very lucky man. Love your videos.
Sunday morning Michygoss! Just what the Dr. ordered.😊 Look at Clyde soak up the hugs❤️ And you too❤️ Beautiful souls.
Good morning sweet Michelle ❤ Good to see Lenny smiling, that’s one happy puppy . Love you and all you do 👍🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦☕️☕️😊❤️
good job on saw horses kiddo!.... nice sunset!
Great saw horse build but don’t overthink the bottom shelf. Two suggestions 1) just use a scrap piece of plywood on site for your bottom shelf with 4 screws protruding down through the plywood on the outside on your bottom braces so you just pick the shelf up and out of the way when you fold up your sawhorse, and if you need a bigger cutting, clamping surface screw a 2x6 to the one side of split top 2x4. It’s a sacrificial pice that you can damage and replace easily. Nice sawhorses, great design
I love the spontaneity of your reaction when you put the tool on the fabri I like your videos and all your adventures around your build thank you for sharing and greetings from Arizona
What a happy story about your dog. I'm so glad you finally have some saw horses. I have to tell ya , I'm a retired firefighter and I've seen some pretty gruesome stuff in my time. I would cringe every time you would cut a piece of wood. So thank you !!!! Love your ambition , strength, good nature and your videos.
So happy you wont be spinning a blade too close to your legs anymore! Hockey fight..LOL too cute! Always entertaining .. work safe, Michelle !! :- )
I love hounds,makes me miss my beagles. Nice looking saw horses!
Life saver Saw Bench
Well Done. 🤗🤗🤗
If you had a twin sister just like you Michelle, and she just happened to be single and looking, I know this real nice guy in Kentucky that would love to meet her!🙂 I was thinking the same thing as so many when you were cutting pieces in the last video, wondered why you didn't use the porch of the shed instead of your leg, but so glad you made some saw horses and they turned out sturdy and portable. You could use plywood with hinges on one side for a bottom shelf, so you can fold it up with the saw horse when transporting. Check out April Wilkerson, I think she made one like that a while back. Clyde really, really, really wanted some of your coffee...bless his heart!👀
It’s just easier to cut the boards from where they’re stacked, that’s all. I don’t mind working like that, but it really bothers everyone watching!🤓
Nice work with the sawhorses! You'll be glad you have them on your work site. As a reminder, please wear safety glasses whenever you make cuts or pretty much anytime you're working with tools....wouldn't want you to hurt those beautiful eyes!
i spent a year in alaska, and watching you break the boards out of the ice caused a flash of memory, Rank/Rate, job, it did not matter. Everyone from the unit commander to the lowest swabbie found themselves on the working end of cold chisles to break the ice from stairs and exits, and even in white outs we could go shovel snow and break ice. I miss alaska, i don't miss that
thanks for reminding me of the good times, and your saw horses look amazing. mine graze on grass, i think there is a problem houston
i like how you show the important stuff without a lot of fan fair. i have a lot of dogs and i know the parent regret with issues.
puppies on the way, anyone want one?
and i thought i raised her to be respectable
Excellent, adapt and overcome. And leaving those saw horses up on the mtn will allow you all kinds of options. An impromptu table for another project you will do on the mtn. A nice larger table in case you have guests. Cut the legs shorter when you're done with them and use them for coffee table legs in the cabin.. ..all kinds of goodies
Love how you love your dogs.
Clyde, is one lucky Pup , as is the rest of your Dog Family. They are so lucky to have You and Steve. A Saw Horse Masterpiece....
Love the dog commentary for the first 40+ seconds. LOL
thank god , now i can enjoy your videos again . have fun and be careful .
I liked the way the snow came off in one huge chunk.. that looked so cool..
World of contrast, me with 30°C (86F) and you below zero, it's always refreshing to see your projects. see you in your next video
🖖
Hey girl. About the shelve. You can make it simple. Make the width the full span of the sawhorse. Understand it as a shelve resting upon the two sarg (horisontal pieces aligning the legs). If you make it as a solid piece with a cut out for the placement of both sarg, then you get a very rigid and transportable sawhorse with all the options you wished fore... 😉
Thanks for doing this video... I want to replace those two cheap-ass plastic sawhorses with a wooden variety of folding sawhorse. This is perfect. An idea I had for the top board was to attack a 2x4 to the top legs folded out.. go ahead a screw it down, then use a circular saw to cut it in half.
Clyde is and has turned out to be quite a hound. Agreed, a DNA test on him would be a great idea. His love of coffee is a hoot 😂! Nice work on the work horses. What you could do maybe is mount a hinged stock of wood or metal that simply locks into the leg of the horse in order to be able to place a tool underneath.
We’d all love to know what Lenny is made up of too! Everyone asks and we have no idea!
I think it is awesome the way you and Steve love your dogs. You both are amazing people.
Good evening. Just enjoying your video. Those saw horses would make great legs for a table once they have served their working lives.
Do enjoy your building videos. I do love a project. All the best, Paul.
You could install a prop-rod for the horses with the fabric table, keep everything solid while you are using them.
Your leg arteries will thank you 😀 no bleeding out now on the cliff. 1st year master carpenter class project completed. Well at least the sawhorse was it when I did my apprentice. My 4th year I won the local and competed at state competition here in IL I would have competed for the national in BC. Norm Abram was there that year. The guy that won the state was right next to me, he was from Saint Louis. I was still looking at the blue print and he was making saw dust LOL. Oh well would have be fun meeting Norm. Loved the dog choir at the start BTW.
Enjoyed your video-you amaze me working in such cold weather! 😊
Michelle when you put a long ladder up put the foot into the wall and walk your hands up the rungs to get it upright. Clyde has more teeth and ours. Ours is missing a canine tooth lost before he came to use. Run out of staples, your so organised with your tools and equipment.
Good to see you have made saw horses.
Great job on the saw horses I am so impressed you just keep doing things that amaze 👍
Great job Michelle! They will "pay" for themselves in no time! You may have inspired me to build some also to replace the ones I found on the side of road. "One man's rubbish is another man's ......."
The important opening messages were the best!
On the sawhorse with the ratchet strap, I would burn the ends of the knots. It will help keep them from loosening. Looks good. I might need to make me a set. Always good to have a couple of sawhorses around.
I like your initiative and thinking out loud when you do your projects. You explain the thought process of why you are doing it a certain way. Which people can relate to. Beautiful country and views. Also being very attractive doesn’t hurt your videos either.👏
Sometimes I think it’s too painful for people to hear all my thoughts as I fumble my way through these things, so I try and balance it as best I can.
No that’s the best part. Explaining why your doing something the way you do provides logic. Instead of assuming viewers know why. They may know the how part but not the why. Big difference between copy and understand. Your mountain side mini cabin project has a view that is priceless. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Nice job on the saw horses. I think you'll appreciate having them where you're working. Now you can work like a normal person : )
Loved the message from your sponsors... R
when you're done building, those saw horses make great temp. outdoor table legs anytime you want to eat outside, there is 100s of uses if you think on it..
Oi, Oiii! I was just about to throw away an old canvas top off one of my old boats.
Thank god I watched this and the fabric will be reused in portable workbenches and sawhorses.
My garage is tiny and it is filled by a boat and I have to do most of the work outside with portable shitty workbenches.
A handy place to rest my tools is mighty yee-ok.
(I've used scrap pieces of plywood before)
I always enjoy seeing the dogs! I am so glad that y'all were able to adopt him & give him a great home!
Poor Clyde. Saw horses: that idea of a shelf for the legs is good-- use wood next time. Make it one piece with one side hinged. Then you can make a catch for the other that will hold the legs apart, fixed.
Hey Mitchy
Enjoy watching you and Steve working together...
Enjoy you building your hillside side bush holiday hut up in the hills...
What scares me as I build stuff aswell, is when you are on your own and cut timber with your cordless saw across your legs...one slip and you will bleed out...I almost carnt watch...
Keep up your good work...
Keep safe...
I was going to suggest in the last video to build some saw horses. Someone beat me to it. LOL. Suggestion for the RV Port, might put an outdoor heat source of some kind to keep the snow/ice from building up on it.
You could leave the sawhorses up there to use as a storable, outdoor table for prepping food & eating at during good weather months. Just lay a few 5-6' 1×8" boards between the two. 30 second set up & break down. Have a great day 😊.
Awesome! Now I can stop cringing when you are using the saw!
When your done with those horses down at the cliff, turn them into foldable saw bucks for your firewood.
I like how content creators give props to other creators and adopt their ideas. Well done!
Great job on them horse's they will be a big help dear .love Bear he's a great dog glad he's has such a nice place to live?
Amazing woman, love your ambition and enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing your life with us, and giving the doggo such a wonderful life.
Love that outfit for making saw horses…❤❤
Agree.

A BIG BIG HELLO MICHELLE FROM DAVID AT GLENORE GROVE QLD AUSTRALIA, HOPE YOU AND STEVE ARE KEEPING WELL AND SAFE, ALL THE VERY BEST, XXX.
Stick those saw horses in the shed or under the cabin on the cliff when you're done building. They can be handy for things outside of construction. I like the one with the cloth stretcher. Very cool design.
Except it didn’t work! Haha. Dang it. I’m sure it can be modified cuz it makes them even more lightweight than a wood shelf.
Beautiful 😍 sawhorses 😉. Dogs are better than MOST people! I miss all of the walker hounds we had growing up .
Hey J PAS. Can I be so bold as to tweek you comment? How about " dogs are better than a lot of people " ?
@@michelparent8392 sure I kinda meant that anyway just figured I'd leave it. 🤣 there I fixed it 🤣
If you want girl you can mount a sacrificial two by four on the top of the saw horse so whenever you need to cut into it, that is the two by four it's not a big deal. Than later on when you've made too many cuts into that top two by four than just replace it. Btw you'll be happy too when you get to use those saw horses to finish up that job on the cabin they help bigtime. smart move girl smart move.
Good build. Fine dogs. Clyde too. Your imaginative and adaptive, if your vision isn't correct, you update and move on. Great stuff. Compelling story. My experience has been that by the time I figure it out I'm done with the project. Better to positively react then to dissipate your focus and time pursuing perfection. Often when repeating something from sometime ago, I just begin anew, clean sheet. It keeps my mind and spirit alive. But this you know and show in your lively spirit. God bless.
Lol! Love you, so I'm glad I didn't miss out on you video. ❤
You have a great look at life and will to accomplish what you want in life
Proud....wow, you have been watching vids.
Good job as usual, busy bee.
Nice work building those saw horses (never burn them or throw them away though 😂they always have a thousand uses)
You're so loving with your animals and you are an amazing woman worker and builder
Wow, that’s a lot of snow. My grandmas dog, Jethro, would sing (howl) with me, fun times. We found him as a puppy out in a cow pasture, covered in ticks, we cleared him and gave him a bath. You’re going to love the saw horses.
Hello Kathleen
Clyde is a sweetheart. Lucky you have him. I noticed a dog I have not seen before? Not sure what bread it is. Maybe I just have not seen it? That was so much snow good call getting help ! Saw horses should serve you well.
Hi Michelle, great job on the saw horses, instead of burning them you could make a trestle table or a trestle bench seat out of them, seems a waste to just chuck them away. Seeya Rob
Clyde love hugs !!!! well ! I think he got the best parents for that ;)
Another great video! I'm sure you thought of it, but I would snug up the ratchet straps in the RV shed and maybe add some in case you get hit with a bunch of snow again. Always enjoy seeing what you are up to!
Hi Michelle - Will your cliffside cabin need a table when you are done building it? You could use the sawhorses for table legs. Re-purpose and re-use.
Have a great day. Regards, Randy in Arizona
Thanks for the idea! Always looking for a way to build storable sawhorses cheaply.
Great job I look forward to seeing you every week like your ideas on stuff
Dogs are the best. That’s sad about Clyde, but you saved him.
I love seeing the boys together! You can see the love they have for you and Steve. Thank you for rescuing them….I can’t imagine what would have happened to them!
Good job on the saw horses. Once you start using them, you will find all kinds of things to do with them. Much like a TV dinner tray around the house.
