Hi. As an old shop teacher, may I suggest a couple of easy improvements? 1) Don't glue down the top board; this way if you run your saw through it you can remove and replace it. Knowing that it's easily replaceable means you can use it as a sacrificial piece of wood. 2) Attach the top piece with brass screws; this way if you run your saw into a screw you don't damage your saw blade since brass is soft. Because brass is soft, after pre-drilling your pilot hole drive a steel screw the same size as your brass screws into the wood to cut the threads, then remove the steel screw and install the brass screws. 3) Instead of the 2x2 and dowel to lock the horse open, substitute a piece of 3/4" plywood with a notch cut into it that will latch onto the cross bar to secure the horse in the open position.

SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL!! I'm a new woodworker and am trying to absorb everything I can. You are a fantastic teacher! Thanks so much! God Bless!

For those of you who are worried that this might be too heavy you can do this with a 2 x 3 instead of 2 x 4 and save yourself a little bit of weight. These are bloody brilliant!

You two are the cleanest people I've ever seen on a worksite ;D

I’m a carpenter and I can only imagine how much fun it must be building your own home, sure I do lots of things around the house but I didn’t get to build it myself. I’m so happy for you!!!

I'm building a 12x16 shed and needed something to cut my wood on. I made one but it was too tall so I improvised and made it work . However, now I can make a better one after watching you make yours. It's my first wood project and being a female attempting this with only youtube as my teacher and the Holy Spirit as my strength, I'd say I'm doing pretty well right now. I am about 1/2 way done and I am really excited to see it completed. Thank you for this video.

Tip for eye bolts... use an allen wrench in the drill with the long side in the drill... using the short side to twist the eye bolt.

Nice job on the folding sawhorses Elisha! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP

Great build. Looks super sturdy. Only suggestion I have, add a top cap to the top of the sawhorses, so you have a sacrificial layer that can be replaced easily.

The weak point is definitely the hinges. Those screws are what is holding it all up. So these can’t hold the weight that a bigger more robust set can hold but these are great small project horses. Fun project for kids.

I made 2 pieces. Perfect tool for private home repairs. You need it! If you are cutting long board (10 ft or 3 m) consider you need 3 pcs sawhorses.

Awesome! I built a pair of these for my 12 ft. boat for winter storage which also covers the outside Air Conditioner. Made them 48" wide with a 60" wide top and also a little taller, 32" legs! Very good vid! Thank you!

Im just getting into woodworking/DIY, and this is on my project list. Thanks for the helpful video!

I made these out of the wood from my son’s old IKEA bed today. They work great!

I have saw horses and seldom use them because they can be a hazard. Working on the ground, when it's practical, is much safer. Like you I use a piece of foam insulation to lift my boards when I need to make a cut. Thanks for the video which caters to those who don't get the downsides of using saw horses or aren't nimble enough to work on the ground. It's an absurdity people have commented on you supposedly never heard of using saw horses. It's a personal preference.

Just was needing some new sawhorses today. Already have the material so will get started tomorrow. Thanks for the video. Excellent presentation and clear instructions.

If I make a seed tray I celebrate in the pub for three days.I am very tempted to try to make two of these.Lady you have a very soft very listenable voice.Greetings from Eastern England

I work on the ground too but it's rough on the knees/back, I'll need to build something like this. Onwards!
