I built a pair of saw horses using the metal things from the hardware store where you just cut your 2X4s and insert them. Doesn't fold and I want them to so I'll built new horses like yours. Nice, easy and better than what I have now.
Alphabeticalise in addition, genius, my mind has been regained at just the prospect🤣🤔Great video rich with tips & entertainment, what a great neighbour having Gandalf at hand.
Great! Simple construction without the need for large, expensive tools. Simple, readily obtained materials. Basic woodworking skills even I have. I think I'll make me a pair. Now, all I need is a source of doggy treat jars. 😉
Excellent design. One change I would make, the reinforcement piece on the hinge side (at 5:25 in the video) should be mounted on the inside face of the legs. That way the shelf is supported on both sides and not reliant on the hinges.
I have several pairs of saw horses that I store hanging from the rafters in my garage. I am always afraid to get them down, cause as soon as a new horizontal surface appears junk collects on it and then I need to get another pair down. Nice looking saw horses though, good work!
I had a pair of those I made years ago, but they were just too heavy to lug around. There's another video here that shows the new ones I made, which are alot lighter and hold a couple tons, so they are strong enough for my work!
Hi Tony.I loved your sawhorses and will make a copy of they.Unfortunately I can't read/see clearly the dimensions at 03:00 minutes video.Can you help me please with this information? Thank You!
Hi Steve - Figure out the leg angle from the vertical (around 16 degrees), and use that to set the saw angle when cutting both the bottom and the top of each leg. HTH
Steve I just rewatched the video and noticed I mentioned "30 degrees"... that's the angle between the legs, so 15 degrees from the vertical for each cut.
@@ConnectVideo That was the only and the important thing to ask but somebody had asked early. So 75 degrees for cut and maybe 1 mmdistance chamfer to hide the hinges' circular bottom, right?
@@palio78ful yes Ahmet. Approximately 15 degrees. I say approximately because it can be a little more if you prefer, as long as you use the same angle for the tip and bottom of the legs, and adjust the width of the shelf accordingly.
Comments from local woodworkers... 1. Thanks for the saw horse video. One detail not discussed was attaching the top to the legs. Was it just a screw through the top and into the top of the leg? A good video just the same. - Ron Response: Hi Ron - Yes, screws (and glue) connect the rail to the top of one leg at each end. And the other leg is attached via the hinge for each pair of legs. - Tony 2. Well done and very professional. You obviously used a tripod and the results are excellent. Great initiative. Cheers! - Roy 3. Terrific job. I'm very impressed, much better than most if the UTube stuff I watch. - Ken 4. I took the liberty of posting it on our Workers of Wood website. - Dan... workersofwood.com/viewtopic.php?p=2212#p2212 5. Excellent! Both the video and the sawhorses; well done You Guys. These videos you two are making are very entertaining and informative. Cheers, - Dan 6. Good job you guys! That was very well done. - George 7. Thanks Dan and Toni. Well done and very useful. - Tom 8. The video is EXCELLENT!! You two guys are pros!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers - Len 9. One word: Fantastic!! - Rick 10. Very good, Dan!!! - Brian 11. Thank you Dan and Tony, an excellent video. - Robert 12. Brilliant,.....well done you two !!!!!! - Tim
@@russellkendall7055 good question. I'd say that 350 lbs would be no problem, likely more... but haven't confirmed that. Would depend on the size of the item as well (i.e. if it was distributed across the top runners, and ideally close to or over the vertical supports. No problem with the legs spreading under load.
Ok Tony I decided to build a set of your sawhorses.i spent 40 yers plus as a maintenance and Construction mill wright. I have to admit that by looking at your plan and completed product I’m impressed at the design.and after working my way through the process I wonder if you did this video for you and your buddy’s entertainment? I enjoyed working through the dimensions and watching the video many times to catch each location of the hinges and braces and details. But this is not for someone who is not stubborn there more complex than they look for location of the tips of the boards on the hinges what part to put on when and all I have to say is don’t be in a hurry and it could be the funnest but perhaps frustrating project. I have much more time on the first set than I saw coming just stopping and evaluating the next step. But all in all a very fun and rewarding project.
Thanks for your feedback Lance. Glad you got your sawhorses done but sorry to hear it was a complicated process. Did you use the plans and instructions provided with the link in the video description ?
