Cheap Sawhorses That DON'T Suck! 

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I built a set this afternoon to use as a door painting jig. One simple step to increase stability and weight bearing capability is to add a 1x2 or 1x4 horizontal cross member on the outside of the legs about half way down to make an "A" frame. That will keep the legs from splaying. Make them long to start with and after they're screwed on, mark the overhand, take them back off, cut off the overhand and reinstall to have them flush with the legs. Super strong.

You did a great job on those easy but very useful sawhorses. Keep up the good videos. Have A Safe and Productive Day! 😁👍🏼😎

Great design man! If you're not sweat'n, you're not work'n bro. Keep it up!

Just saw this about simple sawhorses, just what I needed to see. Nothing fancy, but works for me.thank you.

Definitely a great solution for a common problem. I'd like to see more videos like this as well. Well done!

I like the pisser beside the sink haha. Much better than a jerry can with a funnel.

I'm going to make some of these. I like the simplicity, everything is square cuts. Looks like you could make one of these on the fly in 20 minutes. I keep buying those folding sheet metal horses for storage that are compact and light, then I overload them and wreck them. Considering my sawhorse history I better gusst the ends. Great video!

Okay I made a set of these. They do go together fairly quick ,but the main complaint I have is you probably have to play around with screw sizes and placement to control splitting. Also- they are okay for light duty but if you're going tho put a lot of weight on them you might want to add some horizontal bracing between the legs close to the bottom.

Well done. Simple, straight to the point, and effective. Much appreciated!

that's a nice tidy shop .....i leave stuff out to a point where i cant work any more and it takes a good day to wipe it down and put it away great video btw

Great idea. Love it. I’m headed to garage to make a few sets for garage sales.

Great job, great personality 👏.

I love mine I like to attach a 2x6 to the top so I don't ruin the 2x4 on the eye beam. And then I make it longer so its easy to use a clamp on it

Love this. great idea using an ' I ' beam. Easy job well explained. Subscribed. Thanks.

Very informative & pleasant video. Thumbs up for the sound & video editing.

BRAVO !!! Just what I'm looking for👍👍 Thanks

some wood to join the legs would add strength and durability, nice video..

Urinal in the shop you a genious !

That was so awesome and so simple

Great video, simple, concise and to the point. Just made one and will make another, thanks to you video. Thanks!

This is how I've built sawhorses for years... learned from an old carpenter on the job.

Nice one man!

Awesome design...building a set today

Thank you.

Awesome video!

The last thing I would do after assembly would be to remove the top 2X4. If you do much sheet work you will cut one , same with putting the top screw of the legs to close to the top.

Great quick and easy video mate well done 👍

Love ur editing bro. New subscriber from McLean Saskatchewan.

Great video!!!

Thanks. I'll use your method and build me a pair.

Thank you

Nice and clean job where did you buy the orange tool box laying on the floor ?

THANKS

Nice simple design. What size holes should I drill for 3 inch wood nails

Nice work Man 💯🤘

Thumbs up buddy!

How many boards of what size did you buy ? And give us the size of legs and top boards think you said 32 inch legs but the rest.

Excuse me...hilarious! 🤭

Wht size did u cut the 2x4

what angle would you use if you were to angle the bottom of each leg?

good job

Ya f%ckimg killed it! The universe thanx u. :)

Nice I love it

basic joints but a well strong saw horse

A Burro brand saw horse only costs only $21.00 so it doesn't make much sense to make your own and they don't suck, especially now that the cost of a 2x4 is around $6.00 !

Can you use 2x6.?

You couldn't have used chop saw? Or circular saw?

Can't you cut bevels by hand

How much did you spend on this project?

Cheap? I'm high class!

Yea, under $20 , but with lumber prices where they are, 20 won't come close.

Hey, Go back and review your video. First, you said 32" then you said 36 " for the legs. can be confusing

Burnt out a table saw on 2x4s? Must been a DEWALT Bad design when there is metal in the top board, you’ll hit them when sawing...

Give me a thumbs down if that’s what your into made me laugh pretty hard can’t lie.

Use nails like a man!

no offence,,,but they were ugglies

Save some weight and leave that top 2x4 off. It doesn’t add any strength or function. Also it’s best not to have any screws or nails in the top, so that you don’t need to be concerned about hitting them with your saw, while making a cut and ruining your blade.

I love the shop urinal in the back. Gives me an idea...

I built 2 of these last weekend. I put a 15 degree bevel on the tops and bottoms of the legs though.

Good demonstration, they look sturdy and functional. Little goes 100% perfect when demonstrating how to do something, all part of being human. Thanks for sharing.

First off, like the soda machine in your shop. Good job of showing a simple design that is easy to build. Have several sets with a 48" long 2x4 on top. I keep 3 each 2x10s 10 ft. long to put on top of the set of saw horses. Lengthwise cut of a sheet of plywood with out a piece falling. Also keep several 2x2s 48" long to put on top of planks for cross cutting a sheet of plywood and not hitting (cutting) the planks. Use it to hold my DeWalt miter saw, cutting up plywood, assembly, painting and scaffolding. Found that the vinyl post sleeves are 4" and just right for when using my miter saw.

Good job mate. Give yourself a little more credit as you've helped a lot of people. Cheers from Brisbane, Australia

Thanks for sharing. Just built a pair of saw horses from watching your video. Slight alteration was using 2 x 6’s for the legs (the only lumber I had). They turned out great - perfect for putting my sailboat on, and strong, too 👍🏼

😊

I like your Urinal in the back ground. If you don't have a video on how you hooked it up or run water to it and septic system can you at least do a walk around video? Thanks. I am thinking something similar using rain water collection and a dry well Thanks

I laughed my ass off at, “Give me a thumbs down if that’s what you’re in to and tell me how much I suck in the comments below.”

Great video, a fool proof simple to build saw horse. I found adding ply to the each side countered the tendency of the screws, and therefore the legs, to work loose after much use

Envious of the urinal

Nice shop. If I want my saw bourse 36” of the ground how long do I cut the legs to and how do I figure that out? Thanks I’m advance and great saw horses

Nice and easy sawhorses! Thanks for sharing.

Good job bro!!

I like the idea of using a rafter square.

This is great but how many 2x4 did you use?

Thank you, I’m going to build them. Nice shop and pants.

What lumber dimensions for these? 2x4? 6? thanks!

Well presented video, no waste of our time, and the only thing I would add are 1x4 (X) cross braces on both sides for max. stability since I've had a couple of horses pull up lame and collapse when working with heavier loads - so now for safety I use three instead of two, (much safer). Thanks for sharing from a new subscriber, hope to see some other ideas in the future.

Why does everyone use drywall screws instead of T25 construction screws?

Hi nice job I’m a young up and coming woodworker and I am going to try this out Thanks

Stopped watching when you said you were using drywall screws.

Thanks this looks simple enough Jason

I don't like using drywall screws. Small thing 😅.

I really like how filmed this man! Thanks for the video, I'm making these exact today for a 15 foot canoe. And I have all the materials just laying around the house. Well thanks again man! My channel is nothing special but if your into guitars and trucking go over to my channel for some interesting content.

I’ll be building a couple of these, thanks!

Round your legs, and that should help with the rocking.

Thanks do you build sheds too

All kidding aside what was 48 ins and you cut it back to 36.

Use nails instead of screws otherwise great video!

Been building all my stuff on my driveway on my knees. Looking for some awesome saw horses that are taller these are perfect. Thank you so much for a nice video that is so easy to follow. Thank you !

Thanks that what i need to work nothing fancy just great good job bro thumps up.....

Another good tip to pick up from Kyle, GRK.

RR Builder is a great Channel but you can't watch all the videos he's done it's great that you took something and read it with your own flavor keep up the great work cheers with a beer

How my pappy made em Don’t blame the horse for the floor

Woodglut has a very large project base.

Works for me. I was looking for a cheap way to make my own. Thanks for this. Much appreciated

I just wanted to thank you for making this video🙏 I used it and built these yesterday and they are muy bueno 🥰 easy simple fast

Going to build a set soon, probably 36” cuts for all the boards. This is awesome! 👍

Jig saw on that 45 degree angles if own one

I think I'm going to use this design and make a reloading bench saw horse

Thank you. This is perfect

That's cool I think Mack some
