Been doing Carpentry for over 40 years. I like the folding set, very functional and cheap. We could build it out of left overs. The Pro one is really nice but I'd be afraid to use it and it would likely end up in the bathroom as a towel rack or the bedroom for holding quilts. Nice Job.

They look like they would fall over if you dragged material across them.

Me and my dad built those DIY ones when I was a teenager, and I still have them 30 years later.. they have taken a beating over the years and definitely have added some screws but they are still standing

The DIY saw horse is best for working in the field. That way when the apprentice sends the saw through it because they set it to cut at full depth, you aren't losing $$$.

Yeah you are losing $$$. The moment you have to buy a new blade because there are screws in the top board. None of these sawhorses built in this vid are any good, cept maybe the hardwood one that is more for art instead of function.

I think some people dont understand the different uses for sawhorses and that you need different types for different wood working. Great job John and Sam. I got into woodworking because of your videos. Just wish good tools werent so expensive. Have 4 kids and cant afford much

My guilty pleasure...watching woodworking/resin videos and wishing i had my own shop like this! Keep up the good work!

LOVE this idea of multiple levels for various workshops and finished products!

Love it !!! The Humorous Antics throughout your video builds is so much funnier by playing them in fast play is even funny and makes me want to learn more about your project suggestions. Keep it rolling. Cheers !!!

John , beautiful presentation and great build 😊. Thank you guys .

When working in the field, I used to screw a 2x4 to my saw horses upright as a sacrificial piece when ripping material. I could change it out when needed. Thanks for your videos, I really enjoy this channel.

I screw 2x10 or 2x12 to steel folding saw horses. Put next to each other for small, portable work bench

The PRO build having a height adjustment is certainly a major advantage. I do have questions about the stability of the design in comparison to the other 2 models, since their legs spread farther (naturally more stable). Thanks for the video.

Great Video! Loved all three, but my fave is the third one cause you can never find a sawhorse that gives you the height you want. The second one is my second favorite because you can fold them and put them away. Third one is great simply because it’s super sturdy and super simple to make.

I’ll say the first set is the best when I was framing it’s awesome cause you can build a set to stack lumber and a set to cut and accommodated by a Miter saw and a good piece of ply wood it becomes a pretty great table and since they are cheap you don’t fill bad about someone setting the depth wrong or adding things to it

John - Thanks, owned a hardwood lumber company with an attached mill mfg stair parts, mantles, contract production work - yes, a big fan of Krenov - went to a workshop he gave - a very relaxed guy. Keep up the good work. Greatly admire your energy and attitude.

Thanks for showing me a project to start on. 1st build as a newbie and it looks good to me.

I made a pair of the DIY ones years ago. They are heavy and bulky, BUT as strong as all get out. The top 2x4 can be easily replaced when it gets cut up. If I need something more portable for light work, then I go to my other sawhorses, but when the job is heavy and needs to be very stable, then I break out “ my little friends”. 😀

So, I'm 10 seconds into the video and I gotta pause to just write this and subscribe! I gotta say, you won me over the Ron/Nick portrait in the back!! I'm now positive that I'll like and enjoy any other video and anything else I see you building!!

Brother those folding ones show a ton of craftsmanship for something so small and useable

I really enjoy all of your videos. Even with you being a professional is makes me want to try most of these builds even as a novice.

This is one of the first things they are gonna have us make in our college carpentry course, so I am using this for studying. Good video, easy to follow.

What a great idea for a series of videos, Ron is proud my friend!

These look great. I enjoy watching you build, I learn so much. You should attach the knobs to the sawhorse with a bit of brass chain so you don't lose them.

Nice video, quick and easy to follow. Great links in your description all in all a super job. Well done keep it up...

Wow, I love that miter saw stop - genius level hack. I can't believe I haven't seen one like that before! I have the "Pro" saw horses, and while they are fantastic for their versatility, I don't think you can beat having a shelf for your tools to keep them off the ground, so my vote fore fave is the amateur one.

Love the USMC colors in the background!

Pretty fantastic job, John! Nicely done! 😃 I'm going to figure it out a way to make the pro version with foldable feet... 🤔 Stay safe there! 🖖😊

I wish for once in these how to build a sawhorse videos, they would show a carpenter out on a new construction site. That gets told by his boss, hey "joe" build a couple saw horses and with only a skillsaw and some nails. No clamps, no table, no miter saw, no T-bevel no drill. Just joe standing in red clay mud cutting 2xs free hand and making two of the best saw horses you ever seen.

1:25 Maybe I'm no math genius but you can get exactly 3-32" cuts from an 8' board. 32"*3=96"=8'. Sure, you have to take into account the width of the blade that turns into sawdust with each cut but you could easily cut each of the pieces 31.5" or 31.75" and only have an inch or 2 of waste per 8' board instead of nearly 2' of waste for every 10' board for 32% higher price. Help me understand what I'm missing here.

Yeah the cost for a standard 2.4m length vs a 1.8m or 3m is way cheaper. I try to size everything with the standard length and use that waste for blocks or jigs or spaces or anything vs a 1/3 or 50% higher cost for the non-standard lengths.

"Right then, we're gonna make the DIY saw horse first!" Then uses professional kit to cut it!

The last one is more of a trestle for holding stuff flat rather than a saw horse. It's also too nice to use lol. I honestly think the first one is the most useful and practical. I made a couple non adjustable fancy ones similar to the trestle with a few other features... That I never ever used.

One of my favorites. Very functional

This is a great idea for a series

Great saw horses! Loved em! Just be careful at 12:17 I almost lost my fingers watching that part! 😮

Dude awesome. Would love to see a simple artist's easel in the style of the pro version saw horse.

Awesome. Enjoyed the builds!

Love your videos John , and Sam is good too

I've been eyeballing that mitre saw at Home Depot.. I love that the track overlaps with the saw deck and not way out behind the ass-end of it like the Dewalt one a friend of mine has. More compact motion without the sacrifice. Yay Makita! (As a notive. I should note that if I buy it, it'll join my VERY well-used Makita jigsaw and well-used circular saws).

Makes amazing saw horses... Uses mallet that looks to be held together with electrical tape. They look great John!

Hey, great work John. All three were good. Being a Sam, we are good as assistants and we know who the boss is.

love your video. good

And those pro saw horses can be used for panel glue ups,. Remove the top part, arrange your boards, sandwich them with top part and some clamps and put rest of the clamps accordingly. Think this could be useful 😃

liked it, i have liked your videos from mostly an entertainment standpoint but this was a bit more educational and i dig it

funny thing, the one you called DYI it's one you'll find on every construction site because they're sturdy or they can hold more weight. And you can make him as big as you want. I've been a carpenter all my life and I've used it on every job site.

I have made several sets of the DIY sawhorses over the years. Three things I do a little different 1. Bottom two screws go into bottom of I beam (more screw in the wood). 2 top of each leg, I cut a 1/4" 45° off so there is not a sharp edge. 3. I make a gusset out of scrap plywood and put it on the end under the I beam giving the sawhorse greater strength (doesn't have to be perfectly measured 1(hold, pencil and cut), but does take additional shorter screws). Optional; cut one sawhorse a little longer than the other (a little over the width of both gussets), place a short piece of 2x4 under the ends of I beam between legs, then they will stack level. I make my sawhorses out of scrap 2x4 lumber from here and there. Nice thing about this concept is that you can make the legs as long or as short as you want them. I have one set that have 36" legs and another that are 32". I read a story one time about a builder that on each job he went to do framing/remodeling and such, he always made a set for the (new) homeowner from the scraps.

This is going to be an awesome new series! It'll let people see the basic while giving ideas for making it better.

As always love the builds. Especially like the 3-way series. Perhaps a 3 way on a portable hand tools tote or box. My shop is my garage and I don't do many really heavy builds so the folding jobbers are the ones I'm gonna build although I really like the sturdiness of the DIY. Heck, I may do them all... Mount a roller bar to that purty one and it would be a good outfeed roller.. I likes me some taters mmhM. A shallow recess in that beater with some Tight lay Tared Twisted Nylon tightly wrapped would work nicely!! You may need to groove out some line channels to lay in but you get the idea. :) Thanks again ... Yup I really hate electrical tape Goo. :)
