I like how you show how hand tools are such a practical way to do woodworking. Power tools are not always needed. I sometimes like to work at night and don't want to wake up my neighbors so hand tools are great.

Refreshing to see a RU-vid woodworking video that does not go immediately to the table saw, planer, jointer, and surface sander. Many "woodworkers" are not true craftsmen because they don't have much skill beyond their ability to run wood through machines.

@michaeldoto4673 11 месяцев назад

Adding the 4x4’s as a sliding work surface is brilliant. I made my sawhorses using the same design but added skirts to the sides to stabilize them. Next trip to the box store I’m going to pickup a few 4x4’s and add them. Thank you for sharing your design!

@FranksWorkbench 11 месяцев назад

Thanks man!

@threeriversforge1997 10 месяцев назад

Another option it so use 2x4's for the top and instead of notching them out like with that 4x4, you can just screw on some shorter sections to the underside that fit around the sawhorse. In effect, you're making a laminated version so you don't have to chisel out a notch, and you lesson the risk of the wood twisting and warping over time.

I'd add one small thing: just a flip up stop block on the end of each I-beam. So that if your cross-beams are spread right to the ends, they won't walk off the side and end up on those bare toes 😅

@nimnogaparus 10 месяцев назад

Go around the 4x4s once with your rope/shoelace before continuing to the other side. In other words, instead of the rope simply laying on top and pressing them down, its looped around them, so when its tightened it's pinching them together and keeping them where they are left to right, guarunteeing they wont shift side to side.

@threeriversforge1997 10 месяцев назад

The only thing I'd recommend changing would be the diameter of the rope you used. I know the parachute cord is more than strong enough, but it just looks better with a more substantial rope that you can really grab ahold of. Good to see someone else preaching the gospel of rope. I've long since gotten rid of all the ratchet straps and bungees because rope is just so much faster, easier, and more useful around the shop. As First Class Amateur often says on his channel, "rope will do what a ratchet strap does, but a ratchet strap won't do what rope does." That's a mighty big distinction when you think about it. Once you learn some basic knots, like the bowline and trucker's hitch, you'll be sold on rope.

@MikeGrundy 10 месяцев назад

@ruthvermeulen2098 11 дней назад

I really appreciate your channel. I live in an apartment and don’t have a lot of space for power tools plus it makes a lot of loud noises which is kind of the part I don’t like about woodworking. I study industrial product design and I do like woodworking a lot. I just really hate it when I want to work on my projects but I forgot to do a simple thing at school (where I have acces to big power tools) and it really sucks because my schools workshop is not always open. It disturbs my workflow when I can’t finish something because I first need to go all the way to school to just cut a stupid slit into a wooden board.😂 I once had a tight deadline and I thought I had done everything I needed at school so I could go home for the weekend and finish everything at home. When I got home I saw I forgot something and I rushed back to do something really fast but I didn’t reserve my spot at the machine online so another student was using it so I had to change the entire design that weekend and hand it in on Monday😅😭💀. I really cried that day Omg😂

@ruthvermeulen2098 11 дней назад

Only thing that bothers me a little bit: please wear some type of shoe even if it’s just a sneaker. Safety shoes would be best but they aren’t exactly comfortable and considering your wearing Birkenstocks safety shoes are probably to much to ask for.😂 But I hold my breath when I see u working with a chisel without any foot protection. I once dropped a hammer on my toe wearing flip flops and let’s just say that there wasn’t any part of my nail left to put nail polish on.💀

@sawdustadikt979 10 месяцев назад

When I make these sawhorses, I cut the tops and the bottoms of the legs flat, like 5-10 degrees or whatever applies. I also notch the bottom 2x4 so the leg has wobble when everything shrinks. I also pl or wood glue everything and screw it all together. If you need even more stability, using a 2x6 on the bottom spreads the legs out more and nesting a cross brace o the legs is never a bad move. An 8ft bed (also known as the appropriate size truck bed) on a truck eliminates the need to tie down small (8ft and under) lumber.

If you had a compound miter saw you could have turned and beveled each leg 22 1/2 degrees. They would have fit perfectly onto the I-beam and wold have stabilized the saw horse much better.

Not difficult to hand-cut the angle. Makes the horses much stronger.

@peterbarlow8912 11 месяцев назад

That line may keep your 4x4’s down but laterally they’re going to shift dramatically at the first turn. D’oh! they’ll do it every time! If you can afford a $30K+ truck you should spend $25 on some proper tie straps.

@Firedog-ny3cq 11 месяцев назад

Another way to do it is to take your rope/cord over the top of your load, wrap it under your load, bring it back across the top of the load, and then fasten it on the other side of the truck bed. That way the loop around your load locks it in place because the two free ends are pulling in opposite directions when you tie them tight to the truck bed. There is no way the load can shift to either side when you go around corners.

@nicktrayer5426 11 месяцев назад

Not that the saw horses need to hold up a mack truck. But if you just add some 1x 4 or even 1x6 to the outside of those legs. It will keep those two lower screws on the bottom from getting elongated over time from all of the banging and moving around. Also i know you like the ease ability of sliding the 4x4. But widen them to just over twice as wide drill a hardwood dowell in all 4 groves and then add corresponding holes in the top of the horse say 6 in apart and then you have the option of not having to use a clamp but also have the option of making them still slidable. I know this just went from simple to a little more complicated but you never know.
