  • The first half of the kzhead.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_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.

  • 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. :-)

  • 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.

I had no trouble with the screws running into one another. The barrel of the hinge on both sides had to be adjusted so that it did not interfere with the top plate. 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 really like these saw horses and use them frequently even if my first set doesn't look as pretty as it should. They are still bull strong.

  • I have saw horses and seldom use them because they can be a hazard. Working on the ground, when it's practical, is much safer. Like you I use a piece of foam insulation to lift my boards when I need to make a cut. Thanks for the video which caters to those who don't get the downsides of using saw horses or aren't nimble enough to work on the ground. It's an absurdity people have commented on you supposedly never heard of using saw horses. It's a personal preference.

  • 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

    • 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.

    • @@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

You come across as a lot humbler than the guys who naturally seem to take the know-it-all approach to whatever we'rwe're talking about. I'm probably sounding like a know-it-all right now. Keep up the good work.

  • 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.
