Build a Pair of Simple Sawhorses! Strong, Cheap, Stackable
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Kevin shows you how he makes sawhorses on the homestead. These sawhorses only use basic tools and do not require any angle cuts at all! The best part is they are fast to build and only use 5 2x4's per set.

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Monday thru Friday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

I just wantged to give you a HUGE THANK YOU -using your instructions I was able to build 2 sawhorses to help me build a cat shelter for the stray cat colony I have. Now I can actually cut all the wood that people donated to my work, I'm a volunteer w/ a non profit, our city - Tullahoma TN - doesn't have one and the "animal" shelter is pretty much only for dogs. Over the past 5 years I have rescued over 30 cats, had them spayed/neutered and was just building tote box houses. NOW I am finally building an actual building for them to live in -safe and awat from predators. When the project is done it will be like a horse stable -dividers to make 4 separate areas, climbing ladders, scratching posts and so much more.
Came back to say I made one this morning. Easy and quick to set up 💯💯
no wasted chatter - right to the point. That alone deserves a thumbs up!
Nice and easy yet functional - thanks. Most youtube videos with "build simple" in the title then show $1000 tools and expert level craftsmanship; this was a pleasant surprise.
This is by far the best saw horse video on the internet,no bullshit with angle cuts and all
5 years! Kevin, this is hilarious! I still watch ya'll today!

Earned a subscriber. I built a pair for our homestead channel, first set for the place as i begin renovation of an abandoned mobile home on our property. I gave credit in the KZread short I created.
Magnificent! Tomorrow's project. Fed up with shop bought crap!
Thank you, I just built these, and they turned out so good, anyone can do them, I'm 61 yrs young and no Problemo !!
Starting a building project, and quickly realized I needed some saw horses. I looked at a couple other videos, then I found this one. The simplest, sturdiest and quickest saw horses on KZread. I never comment, but this helped me so much that I figured I'd thank you!

Simple and sturdy, thank you
I've built a dozen of these, this is my go to video for sawhorses, thank you for a very good video, no BS but detailed enough for absolute beginners. Thank you Living Traditions Homestead!
Knowledge is power. Preciatecha.
i make them with 1x4 legs, which are 31 inches long to allow 3 legs to be cut from one 8 foot 1x4...saves a lot of weight , and stays strong..line up the pieces of the I beam with a combination square set to one inch,,one inch on each side lines up the up right 2x4 . If made correctly, a scrap plywood plate can be screwed over each end, which adds stability..Also, if u leave the top 2x4 extended 2 inches or so at each end,, it makes a perfect place to clamp pieces to before cutting. Also , it is a good idea to use only 2 screws or nails to secure the top 2x4's..this saves circular saw blades when cutting material on the horses. I enjoyed your video.. You give directions clearly .
Brilliant! Shows that everything doesn't have to be complicated to do the job.
It’s true- simplest, fast, practical build on KZread.
Thanks for showing simple lord bless
God bless you too.
Makes a great saw horse.. Many thanks
Awesome. Love the truck.
I needed some easy sawhorses, now I'm a subscriber and my wife is a big fan!
NICE!!! Fast and easy !!!
Thanks, you are the kind of how to guy that gets it done without wasting time.
appreciate this ! short and sweet and they are pleasing to the "I" lol ...i was jotting some notes down and wrote "eye beam" then i realized the beam was shaped like an "I" 😂, thanks for this doable DIY!
The first versions of that sawhorse were put together with nails, don't need screws. You can custom make any size you want. I am getting the material to make one 48 inches long, with a custom top for custom work, 24 inch legs (I often sit when I work because my back will not allow me to stand for more then a minute or s). Two others will be either 12, 18, or 24 inches, with 24 inch legs, to be using those for carving Tikis. For accuracy, a chop saw is a metal cutting saw, for wood the version is a miter saw.
Well Done
FRONT PORCH PONDS- Licking,Mo. thank you for a very simple and quick design! 🌻
Thank you! Fast, easy, sturdy! This saved my whole Dutch bucket tomato project! I owe you big time!
Works a charm. Easy to follow and made a couple out of some scrap timber. Brillant viedo. Cheers mate
I've used this design for years. So quick and simple, anyone can build them.
Great video!! Thank you!!
Yours genius ❤😊 I knew there was a easy way ❣️❣️❣️🤩🤩
After about the 20th time of my cheap fold up saw horses almost putting me in the hospital I built these today. Thanks man
thanks, great value in 5 mins cheers
Perfect. No bullshit. Thanks
Haha, "homestead exact", love that! Great video! Thanks!
Great simple design !
Nice. I really like the way you create this project.
Very nice and great design. You explain all the steps very well and that guitar solo!!!!!! Rock on brother,.
Just what I need and I am going to make two taller ones for a takedown table to clip my dogs on!
Thanks so much for the totrial...now I will go out and make me some...
Absolute awesome design. Nice and easy to put together, without all the confusing angles and strong as a horse, lol.
Fantastic! Three of my four plastic saw horses broke. Frustrating. Yours look easy and sturdy. Sure appreciate the video! Thank you!

Yep plastic is a great product, but not so much for sawhorses.
That's the way I have built them for over 30 years. Mostly out of scrap from the job. When I am done with the job and don't have room for them or don't want to carry them around or maybe they just are worn out already I just dispose of them. I am 6'4" so I make them taller so I am not bending over all the freaking time. My back thanks me at the end of the day.
Wow! Even I could understand that! Thanks!
I know this is an *old* video now but I just wanted to say.... I am nowhere near a carpenter and this was my very first project. They came out great! Sturdy as heck and cheap to make. Thanks for your teaching and god bless!
"Homestead exact" is similar to what I always say "it's outdoor level"
Great video, very easy to make. Great tip by KOAaj, - after making one side I leaned them up straight so no wobble at all. I would use 3 1/2 screw next time. I’m pretty tall so I made mine 40 inch and 38 inch legs. Thank you homestead!
Good Video, help full. Simply straight forward. They work well
I think I’ll be building those. Nice to see good people.
THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!👍
Needed to rewatch this one. With the greenhouse up we need a few sets for sure. Thanks ya'll. 👍😁❤🙏
Just built these a couple minutes ago. Appreciate the video, keep it up :)
Super design
Ok now I’ve got to go to Home Depot for 2x4s. I’ve needed sawhorses for years but been to cheap to buy them, but today I will make them. Thanks for your video.
Sounds like a project for my son to do before we add a porch to our house. These will come in handy. Thank you.
Leaving the legs back from the ends a couple of inches allows you to clamp your material to the horse while cutting.
Thank you so much. Made my husband's day. He made a set and he had a blast.
That is the best design for sawhorses I have seen, thanks. Go Gators
Thanks, will be doing some here shortly
Nice and simple. I like using a small piece of plywood on each end cut to fit.
Those are awesome,thank you!
I like it. simple and funciontional!
Good design! Thanks
Brilliant. Watching from the UK 🇬🇧
Good video man . Looking forward to seeing more
I put together similar horses two years ago with one difference, I used a 2”x6” for the top plate of the ‘I-beam’ for a larger clamping surface.
Thank you kindly for sharing this
Thanks! I'm gonna use pallets for my wood.
Just wanna thank you!! I made two of these using old timber I was planning on throwing out. Saved me about 100 dollars buying saw horses from the shop. Appreciate this video mate.
Thanks. Of all the vids of making sawhorses I've seen, this looks best to me.
I just made these, amazing. LOVE these things!! The kids are walking a high beam between them now 😂
Just want to come back and say that I built these and they held 12 3/4 inch sheets of maple veneer plywood for like 4 months. I’m down to my last sheet now and they are still standing strong.
I made a pair of these sawhorses today. Absolutely better than I expected. They’ll be around for a long time. Very solid. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.
Thanks great little project. I have a Milwaukee "Driver" not a drill, and that sucker drives screws like you would not believe. One of my favorite tools, might want to check one out.
Great video
Great job “home stead”…
Man that’s the simplest but sturdy saw horse I’ve seen,you’re good
