I've been using the jackass sawhorse since late 2017 and love them. Ed Hunt invented them jackasssawhorse.com/
You can purchase a kit from him, or do what I did and purchase the plans. I just buy the parts locally. The hinges and rope were about $15 and the rope will build 20 sets.
As a framer and sider I want to be able to really load up saw horses and these have performed really well. I know some finish carpenter how make them out of 1/2" sheathing to keep them light.
The tools I use and recommend acmetools.pxf.io/AwesomeFramers
Please remember that I'm not showing the best way to do anything, but just the method that works well for us. Thanks for watching!
Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like RU-vid if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course sso.teachable.com/secure/2458... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.

Thx Tim .I was wondering how they were built.By the way I saw you in Vegas playing family feud with Perkins brothers, on the video they took of their trip.Thanks Tim I will order the plans.

@GregoryHaleRobins-lu1uh Год назад

Drill the corners of the lightening hole/cutout. Much stronger and much less chance of splitting from the radius edges. Almost no extra time needed!

@thomaskirkpatrick4031 Год назад

When still doing construction I had a superintendent that tested prospective carpenters by asking them to build a matching set of saw horses. He had some great stories about experienced carpenters taking many hours to complete 1 saw horse, or not being able to produce even 1 usable example.

@antoniiocaluso1071 8 месяцев назад

maybe it depended on if the job was hourly, or contract? :-)

I think it is funny when people say they invented something that has been around for decades, my dad and his contractor friends used to make some VERY similar to these back in the 70's except they made them out of cabinet grade plywood. Good video, I had forgotten all about these.

@Al-rt3rx Год назад

he actually says in the video he learned it from someone else.

@psidvicious Год назад

Yep, used to make these all the time. If you don’t have hinges (who does?), just line up the top edges and drive a few 16ds all the way through. Then spread them back open to what ever width you want. Lastly, use the piece you cut out of the middle as the “stringer” to hold the legs in place. Makes a nice tool table underneath too.

It's a different style of sawhorse. Just because music has been around for thousands of years doesn't mean nothing is new.

@jameshruska273 Год назад

Depending upon the rope a lighter (bic) will seal the ends and keep it from fraying going forward. Love these sawhorses !

@joewoodchuck3824 Год назад

I dip rope ends in paint so they won't fray.

@glennmitchell9107 Год назад

If you run one long piece of rope through all four holes, you would only have to tie one knot instead of four, or however many Ed ended up tying.

I would use chain instead of rope, easier for making the same length and a piece of rebar through the chain to keep from pulling through. Rope gives, chain will not.

You go right ahead. I would use blue rope instead of yellow rope.

@1987Confused Год назад

I made a somewhat similar set from hardwood flooring and yellow pine 2x4 I tried chain in a earlier set of wood folding sawhorses the small chain got tangled up and wore on the holes in the boards it's easier to use para cord or something and adjust the knot I was hoping they figured out a better hold open to keep the horses from folding up when sliding materials on them

Advantech Lifetime warranty. I have a lifetime of experience. Borkleboard products (any and all pressed particle, strand, chip board products) Now hear this,,, NONE of them have lasted a lifetime. None of them have held diagonal driven hardwood flooring pins or nails. If your total intent is to build for today,, and your 9intent is that all floors will be carpet or laminated type flooring,, or other. Then by all means,,, use borkleboard. You'll get what you pay for,,,,, you may be lucky,, and you may not. Sawhorses? You spend too much. Mine are scrap 2X stock or even new 2X4 2 and 1/3 8 footers needed per sawhorse. Screws are preferred but machine nails work well. They don't fold, but they do stack. Faster, cheaper, at least as strong, no metal hinge to miss, 1/3 the price, just the saw and a screw gun for manufacture.

You understand that this video is to show how to make this style. Therefore its going to go much slower than actually building them. Additionally, because they last so long, who cares? You don't have patience and as you get older I'm sure you'll learn that speed isn't everything.
