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.

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.

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.

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 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

If you can’t tie good knots- tie lots of them. Dad probably. The only thing I see is a future of cutting into hinges when cutting plywood. I would like to see a 2x4 on the top somehow? Otherwise good design.

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.
