For breaking down 4 x 8 sheet goods, you could run 3 each 2 x 4’s between the sawhorses on the neoprene inserts to create a great sacrificial grid. Then set your blade depth just like you did when using the foam sheet. It’s the safest and most stable way to cut down plywood, MDF and other difficult to handle sheet goods. Especially if you make yourself a rip guide for your circular saw. (There are several excellent video’s on making a simple plywood guide that will allow you to cut down ply to exact dimensions.) Your horses came out great, they are so functional! You’re so right, you will be finding new uses for them for years. Thanks for sharing them with the community. Cheers!
Turning your saw horsies into saw-stallions... Love the pipe clamps idea. I think I will be re-building my store-boughts into work horses. A great idea in a small shop. A thumbs up and a subscribe..
great idea and video. One idea could be if you used the sawhorse length wise an attachment could be a t-track with a flip stop for using with miter saws.
Thanks! A few ideas: - put neoprene (1 or 2 layers) under the feet - it will prevent sliding and wobbling on uneven flooring - attachments: put say neoprene on one side and the rollers on the other side of the 2*4 - put screws at the ends, so you can lift them out of 2 slots and rotate them as needed (won't work with the dowel-rollers (unless you make them narrower and the tray underneath open)).
Love the feed roller top, use it for cutting long boards, one extra top that I want to make is a solid top with large 45 degree notches cut into it, so I can hold round objects like pipes securely.
This is awesome, I have been looking for adjustable saw horse ideas to serve multiple purposes in my small workspace. I think my search is over. Thank you.
Great ideas but I am always surprised by the number of MeTubers who do not own a drill press as they make projects so much easier. However, demonstrating that these projects can be done without, puts them within reach of people who do not have a drill press. Good job as usual.
I thought I'd seen all the sawhorse videos I could ever benefit from, but this one gave me a few new thoughts. The inserts are all great, but I really liked the idea of mounting that insert tray on the pipe clamps, which are separated by the channel. The channel adds strength, and the pipe clamps transfer all the weight from projects sitting on the insert tray into the ends of the sawhorse and the legs. Architecturally speaking, that's always a good idea to take potential extra pressure off the center. My suggestion, though, is to make it a little easier to unlock the pipe clamps by cutting the rope and make a foot operated pedal out of a long piece of scrap wood. To keep the pedal from turning over, anchor a piece of PVC pipe in each end of the pedal, long enough to cover a substantial portion of the rope. Thread the rope down through the pipe and the hole drilled for anchoring the pipe, and knot the end as you demonstrated. I don't think the pedal would get in the way while working, and it would eliminate the rope from getting twisted or tangled off to the side so it becomes difficult to get your foot onto the middle of the loop. Not sure, but I think if you pressed one side of the pedal, it might only release the lock on that side's clamp, so you have to step on the middle consistently. I suppose you could keep the pedal from getting in your way by gluing a couple of pieces of Velcro to the sides of the pedal at the ends, and putting a short strip of the mating surface on the far leg from where you are standing, and after adjusting the height on your tray, just push the pedal away so that the Velcro tabs connect to the far legs. To release it, just put your foot on the pedal and push down with a little force and it should loosen pretty easily. Anyway, making that modification might be kind of fun, just to try it out. That detached workshop area looks like a real dream.
Good video! Instead of the rope, I think I'll try 2 pieces of all thread rod down from the unistrut to another piece of unistrut (or board) below for a foot pedal.
Sometimes using galvanized pipe the clamps will slip due to the softness of the galvanization. So using black pipe is a better idea and it also costs less.
Great ideas and very useful (although I didn’t get to dowel pins idea until you told me) still very useful. I already use the flying saucers and the pipe idea for my outfeed table at my table saw but I love the idea of moving them up and down and will be pinching the idea for my use, I will also have to take a trip to my local DIY shop for some of that tape to stop anything from moving. Well done again.
My shop is only 9x12 with an uneven, slanted floor. My biggest problems are moving benches and aligning top heights. If I put a wheel bar across the bottom of the pipes, I can lower the wheels below the legs. But, when I raise the height of the table top, it raises the wheels off the floor so my table is solid on the floor. Not only will this allow me to align the tops of table, saw, etc, it will let me have what I've never had... completely level work areas!
I used those ball bearing inserts for a different purpose in my shop. Here in S. Florida, the humidity got 'em. They quickly rusted and wouldn't roll reliably. I got another set and sprayed them with some dry lube, the kind that has Teflon and some kind of wax in it. I think it's made by CRC. I'm pretty sure it's the wax and not the Teflon that does the trick. A couple of years in and they still look pretty much like new. I give them a spritz every once in a while (when I think about it).
You could potentially build whole table/workbench tops that attach to both saw-horses simultaneously with 2 cleats... like maybe a sanding station with a dust collection port.
a really great, multipurpose and innovative piece of tool. It is one of the very best i´ve seen and some very good improvements. You are gifted. Go on please.
Wonderful addition to the saw horses. I just built mine today and this will be awesome project to customise them further. Thanks a lot for the idea specially one thing which I picked is those rollers which I didn't know the name and I wanted to search for it online. Thank you so much. Keep it up and congratulations on realest completed house and workshop. God bless you.
I have looked at many shop project videos, and I really like yours, especially the way you provide links to other people's projects and do not try to take credit for the design yourself. Kudos to you for that. I liked and subbed, and am looking forward to viewing your homebuilding project! Thanks from North Florida on the banks of the Suwannee River.
Love the adjustable sawhorses! The Kreg Multi-Mark Measuring Tool has another feature built-in. That stepped edge is used for marking the reveal on door jambs for installing casing. It's about 3/16 or a light 1/4".
Nice change of pace for you Elisha, we all realize that y'all're not done with the house and shop, but a nice change of pace is just what the doctor ordered.
Cover a set with low pile carpet for installing hardware on a finished door, or cabinets... you can also make a set of side saddles that will hold the door vertical (perpendicular to the floor) to make the cuts for hinges, etc... I would also shorten the horse legs so the new top is at a lower starting height... the wider footprint should make this system more stable... (this description sound like working in a barn lol) You can also make some for working with pipe and hardware... add a chain vice and a standard vice...
I don't own a saw, I just enjoy watching vids but my idea would be to have a sawhorse with about 7 inches overhang past the legs to add a hole for bench dogs. I am not a woodworker so i don't know if this is something that is really needed as it seems sawhorse are just meant to hold stuff up. My other idea would be to just make some of the gadgets reversible so you could just flip over the painting side with the flat side and make the hand grasp part a double wedge like a triangle so you could still have that easy pull feature. Lots of great ideas in this video. Very professional to give credit to all the other craftsmen.
Hey there are many americans (south america, central america and part of nort America like Mexico) that also apreciate the fact that the multi-mark from kreg comes also in metric. The thing I dislike the most about being so close to the US is that many of the tools sold here down in Mexico come in imperial units because thay are made primarily for the US market.
I just bought everything I need to make these. I'm going to skip the flying saucer roller bearings for now, although, I might want to revisit them down the road. Those PVC rollers are going to be a huge asset to my contractor sized table saw. I'm very glad I found this channel, and this video, you just got yourself another subscriber.
The rollers will work much better for table saw work. The long roller will pull or push your work depending on which way the roller is positioned relative to the fence, The rollers don't care. Ask me how I know?
neat idea - that is the sister from boring. ITS ON THE TOP OF ABSOLUTE GREAT/FANTASTIC !!!! like you :- ) I can not wait for next videos ! Greetings from Germany !!!
Nice construction, also the neopren is a simple but effective idea. An alternative would be skateboard grip tape, but it´s not so soft. Thanks for sharing.
Hey girl I love your hair color ! I dyed my grandmas cat that color back in high school . Don’t worry that cat loved my experimental hair colors. Pink was her favorite . And your saw horseys are kool to . Nothing beats a angle grinder though .
Awesome video, and love the attachments. Have you thought of placing a small 1x2 board on the bottom of the rope for your feet? Maybe a 5 to 6" to give a little more area for your foot, and prevent rope wear and tear?
Good idea, but your bar clamp locking mechanism is backwards. The clamp pieces need to be under your sawhorse for the locking rings to work properly. The way you have them, they wont support a lot of weight.

You know when you are enjoying something when you don't feel the time fly, Thank you for your hard work and tips, tricks and time!
Probably one of the most versatile and useful hacks I've come across on UA-cam.
Turning your saw horsies into saw-stallions... Love the pipe clamps idea. I think I will be re-building my store-boughts into work horses. A great idea in a small shop. A thumbs up and a subscribe..
Love these. Only thing extra I would do is mark the vertical pipes so you can make quick adjustments on both sawhorses to get them level.
Or to match them to the height of your other tools for outfeed tables.
Only if your floor is adequately level, otherwise trusting the markings will lead you astray...
The most beautiful carpenter, and the most beautiful works
great idea and video. One idea could be if you used the sawhorse length wise an attachment could be a t-track with a flip stop for using with miter saws.
Genius well done lady , those are sawhorses from higher level 👍👍👍
The best and original sawhorse i never seen before

You should add measured markings on the pipes so 2 saw horses can be level with each
I love this, Think I'll modify this for table legs and put a bubble level on the table surface.
OMG, you are an awesome woodworking superhero. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips. And love the tools you are promoting.
Those are truly the GR8st saw horses I’ve ever seen.
Sometimes using galvanized pipe the clamps will slip due to the softness of the galvanization. So using black pipe is a better idea and it also costs less.
That a pretty good idea. Even still you can still use the bottom horses to store already cut boards
I like the outfeed rollers. That alone makes this worth doing.
I was thinking the same thing.
I’m going to build one for my outfeed for my table saw and planer
Great project. I'm building a set with a lazy Susan fixture one for painting and one with a steel top for TIG welding.
What a great idea. I know you said you are not the first to think of this, but this is the first I've seen this idea.
Love the dowel painter pyramid attachment and the neopryne ...sticky stuff attachment. appreciate the video
That is very cool, thanks for sharing, I am looking forward to adapting this idea to my roman workbench build next.

Not only will this allow me to align the tops of table, saw, etc, it will let me have what I've never had... completely level work areas!
You can also add a shelf at the bottom of each sawhorse to store the unused inserts.

Looking forward to building a set of these. Wow. Can’t understand y anyone put a thumbs down on this video.
Thesee saw horses could be a godsend, what a great design.

I really love your videos and what you do. God loves you and so do I
It would have been cool to put some clamping holes in them or an attachment for a portable workbench. Good job
the mother of invention
Those are so cool. I saved your video o I can come back to it when I get ready to build my own. Thanks.
Another great use for pipe clamps. Thanks

Best Adjustable Sawhorse yet ! Thanks
Love these !! What about a small "U" shape in the side of insert holder to allow easy removal of the insert?
Nice change of pace for you Elisha, we all realize that y'all're not done with the house and shop, but a nice change of pace is just what the doctor ordered.
Wow what a great idea. Can't wait to build a set for myself.
Nice design. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent project!
I envision toggle clamps on one end to hold board still while working on it.
Or maybe even dog holes.
Cover a set with low pile carpet for installing hardware on a finished door, or cabinets... you can also make a set of side saddles that will hold the door vertical (perpendicular to the floor) to make the cuts for hinges, etc...

Nice construction, also the neopren is a simple but effective idea. An alternative would be skateboard grip tape, but it´s not so soft. Thanks for sharing.
add a few different colored bands on the gal bars with marker pens to define preset heights. it will rub off with time but can be re-applied
you are awesome, adjustable saw horse love it
I love your videos! I've learned so much! I miss you guys and i hope you will make more videos soon!
Please come over and help me redesign my workshop!
👍🥰 Nice Beautiful Carpenter....
Keep safe always!
Cool foot work.

Отличная работа, спасибо за идею!
well done! that really is a great idea!
It’s a very good idea! Thank you very much for sharing
USEFUL. STRONG. AND VERY NICE LOOKING.
GOOD IDEA. THUMBS UP.
This is a really great idea👍 live the different heads you can put on it, makes it very versatile
super clever. great ideas!
Great idea. I love my Kreg Multimark. You forgot to mention the 45 degree function, too.
Super invention. Thanks for this helpful idea.
Greetings from Austria
Great build. Looks like foldability would not be difficult to add as well.
What a great design!
Somebody got themselves a new Ryobi HP compact tool set. Nice.
Good idea, but your bar clamp locking mechanism is backwards. The clamp pieces need to be under your sawhorse for the locking rings to work properly. The way you have them, they wont support a lot of weight.
They are installed correctly. If you mount them the other way they wouldn't hold. The pipe can slide up but not down the way they are mounted.
Very nicely done, love em!!
Legal, Mas no Brasil não temos metade do acessorios que você usou kkk
Parabéns belo trabalho
This is a brilliant idea! And there are so many good tips in here. Thanks for the inspiration!
Excited to see episode 10!
They'll make good fire wood!
tim sway did this same video in 2018, great idea!
Missing you and your videos.
Wow, how good are they? Well done girl!
Pretty cool idea's.
Need something V-shaped to hold PVC pipes.
Good shapes
