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.
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.
@@phermey Can you make a glued sawhorse.. or without screws or nails in it.. im curious how it will look like and how much "function" will have.. You seems smart enough to do something i said.. as i see in your comment.
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 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
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.
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.
Looks can be deceiving all the weight would be resting on on the screws with a slight modification yes they could be the best but in there current form they are the weakest
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.
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
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”. 😀
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.
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.
@@christopherwilliams9639 I've never bought a 95.5" 2x4. Even if it is my point still stands as far as cutting them at 31.5 or 31.75" in order to eliminate waste.
My first month on my very first framing job (in the stone ages of 1991) all I did was shelp plywood and knock together set after set of what you call the DIY sawhorse. I must have made 40 pairs. With a little practice all you need to use is a skillsaw, speed square, and framing gun you can make a pair in literally 3 minutes.
Did you notice Sam also fixed John’s half lap joints on the “amateur” horses? They were not wide enough to allow the cross member to slip in. John kept hiding that each time he tried.
My wife & I were at the grocery store the other day, when the 'produce sprayers' came on, I said out loud "Lettuce Spray!" She couldn't figure out why I was laughing so hard.
At Safeway (at least the one in Port Orchard a decade ago) would play thunder sounds when the sprayers comes on. It would always remind me of the opening of the song It's Beginning To Rain by Kenneth Copland. ua-cam.com/video/K-7WZRPAzhU/v-deo.html
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.
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.
Best sawhorse ive seen is none of these but it had 3 legs and 2 built in vices, i saw the plans for the build on sale at Etsy, you can't buy it anywhere, you have to make it yourself, wooden Jawhorse a 3 in 1 vise, sawhorse and workbench all in 1 design.. not foldable but you could just add hinges and add chain, carabiner and eye plate to make it folding
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 worked as a carpenter for years. When we got a new hire first thing we did was have him make a set of sawhorses. No faking it . I knew a good hire right off the bat
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 😃
The “pro” level looks great and the adjustable height is nice, but that thing would tip over in a heartbeat. Not tipping is just as important as holding weight.
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.
Malecki you are hilarious...and skilled! Please keep your hands and fingers safe. Perkins bros taught me that a jointer can go sideways quick. Love ya bud.
I thought the 2nd sawhorse looked the most interesting. Unfortunately, the cheapest I could find 5 continuous hinges was $9/ea. That's $45 just in hinges.
It's 118 in the desert here in Qatar and you still got me laughing my ass off while still learning awesome woodworking techniques. Keep up your epic-ness good sir.
So essentially: DIY: A very usable sawhorse of a long time proven design Amature: A less practical version of the DIY sawhorse Pro: An overengineered sawhorse for people who have nothing better to do than making sawhorses
I agree ,,,,but what woUlf l know ,,,,that pro design would be kindling first day on a real job ,, They obvious don't know point loading and shear strength ,, the design l use is what I learned in trade school ,,,it's real hard to teach layman real carpentry Ìve been acarpeter 49 years and these guys are just a comedy act ,
The ametuer saw horse is very useful but still over engineered really. I work out of a small combi van here in the UK and to have folding saw horses that wont take up too much space in the van and that don't collapse under a sheet of MDF (like the plastic ones) is very handy. Definitely dont need to bother planing the timber up or anything though
It’s always interesting how narrow minded people are. You do realize a sawhorse isn’t a single use right ? Like your job site sawhorses for holding beams and framing is different from a woodshop use , which is also different from timber framing , etc. you trolls really need to step your game up
I made something in between diy and amateur. Had some scrap 2x6 or 2x8 which I used for a wider top piece. I used some basic hinges on the one side of the legs so they would fold flat, which I used some scrap 2x4 bed slats. The tops of the legs were cut at 10 or 15 degrees and same on the bottom. I used a small 40cm length of pine with a notch cut out that locks the sawhorse open. (screwed in on one side so it can swivel, and lock into a long screw that is not screwed in all the way on the other side) The best part of making my own apart from the savings (since it was mostly scrap apart from hinges and screws) was that I made them the height I wanted them to be. Compared to anything i could buy ready made, these were cheaper, sturdier and taller. Well worth making your own even if you have to buy the wood.
When I went to school 8 feet equalled 96 inches, which is easily divided into three 32 inch long pieces. Okay, they’re fraction less due to the saw kerfs but that certainly doesn’t matter on a pair of DIY sawhorses. Cutting out of ten footers is going to leave a 2’ piece from each two by four. By the way, I would call the first type temporary not DIY. These are the type of horses carpenters would throw together at the start of a project usually with four foot long tops, and either leave on the site when they were done or throw in the dumpster. I think of a DIYer as some one who would either buy the flimsy plastic folding horses or a couple pairs of the metal brackets where you cut four legs, a cross bar, and a couple of spreaders.
Love your videos! Can’t stop watching and re watching. I’ve dabbled in woodworking and construction on and off and am trying to get more technique and be more serious about it. Your shop makes me drool and want to continue with it!
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!!
Love your videos and work. I wanted to make the folding saw horse so I bought your plans for $10.00 I was really disappointed. The lack of details and material list was very disappointing. I learned more from the video and tried to guess the rest.
Great! #1 practical, sturdy, and fast. #2 very convenient and slick, #3 quite sexy, but almost too pretty to use, maybe a pair of them for your TV tray.
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.
I'm a carpenter of 39 years. Like someone else pointed out it depends on what you're doing as to the size and design of the horses. I also think it's a personal choice. My own demands of what I use now are simple they must break down to store on my work van and each one must support my weight and be stable doing so. The first set won't take a lot of lateral movement before those nails or screws at the top of the leg start to fail and the horse becomes unstable. The second set like it's plastic store bought counterparts seems to me more trouble than it's worth to build. The third set dubbed the "pro" set I wouldn't even build or own. The base doesn't look broad enough to supply proper stability . When working with saw horses you need stability, durability and longevity. They don't need to be works of art. The last thing I want is to worry about God Forbid putting a saw kerf in my work of art. Like someone else pointed out, that apprentice of yours won't watch what he's doing and saw right through your work of art. Besides which your attention should be focused on what you're doing and not your work of art. Enough said
Once marked in blood the contract has been sealed. Markers are a blood oath between two individuals. Markers are also formally witnessed or recognized; It is not just any blood oath.
Number 3 looks like a holder for a TV table set, I'm going to stick with #2 on design, my diy folding ones have about 1000 lbs on them currently for the past month and haven't budged.
DIY sawhorse is my favorite. dont think the other two would work very well for framing, cool designs tho with my DIY sawhorses, I dont even put the extra 2x4 top plate across the horse and I make them 4' wide. and I just shoot framing nails in the legs and also another 2x4 across the "knees" of the legs If that makes any sense. cool video bud
Great video. I believe Sam needs a day where he builds something. (SAM DAY). He is a heck of a builder and needs some recognition for his work too. Cool shirt too John.
OK, so forgive my ignorance. It has been 40+ years since high school woodshop. Why do you use your jointer to face the hardwood when you have a planer and a sander?
You know 32” cut into 3 pieces is exactly 8 feet however 10ft leaves you with a little less than 24” left over on each board. So 8’ boards has no waste
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.

Also when they fall off the flat bed of your truck or some jerk steals them, you are not out a lot of $$$$
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

I just gotta say that the first one looks the sturdiest.
I’d say the second, because it’s got a fixed triangular frame.
I'd like yo see a strength test with all three. Load em till they break. I bet the diy comes out on top.
Looks can be deceiving all the weight would be resting on on the screws with a slight modification yes they could be the best but in there current form they are the weakest
First one is what I use for framing and I’ve loaded two up with nearly a thousand pounds and it didn’t even budge.
@@hotrodpaully1 the top plate of the DIY is resting on the top ends of each leg, screws just keep them there

You get so much more clamping potential by setting the legs in a few inches from the ends with that first design.

It tip over and ,,,or shear at the adjustable section They dont understand point load and shear something you learn in trade school
... And they want ten freedom dollars for those shit ass designs. I've sketched out better assemblies with 5 minutes and a napkin
I have never needed an adjustable saw horse either, or if I did it's something I could solve very quickly with a couple of scraps screwed to the horse
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.
The pro one is more a material support - there's no top rail width and I often use that when steadying smaller cuts. Nice variety, though.
i built the beginner saw horse and i love it
Gracias a este video hice mis diy saw horse! 10 de 10!
I'll take the DIY sawhorse every day. This tool doesn't need to be this intricate.

Thanks Oliver, thats the goal. Entertain you guys and gals !
Dude awesome. Would love to see a simple artist's easel in the style of the pro version saw horse.
Out of the 3 which one holds the most weight? By sheer bulk I'd guess the amateur one does
The diy is better than what I would done.

I new i saw this idea somewhere hahaha awesome anyway, it show that with good instructions and patience you can make a nice project
Master carpenter here and I would use the DIY because they are stronger and stack

@@John_Malecki Oh geez, I really hit a nerve there didn't I. They're very nice sawhorses, well done I guess.

Yes i have got some of the 50" inch bessey bar clamps and I love them

Saw horse #3 only useful on a flat solid base. Most sawhorses are used in a different setting.
love your video. good
One tip for the DIY sawhorse.. I like to put some diagonal braces on the legs.. Just to make it a bit sturdier..
i swear I just sit around waiting for your videos! Can't get enough of them.
What did you think of this one Daniel, we're going a little different with it
Think it's awesome! Being an amateur wood shop guy I love it! And not going to lie. I'm a little buzzed you replied 😱😂
Every vid is great
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.
Thanks. Well put together video!
DIY wins!
Very hand video!
Thanks,

Like someone else pointed out it depends on what you're doing as to the size and design of the horses.
I also think it's a personal choice.
My own demands of what I use now are simple they must break down to store on my work van and each one must support my weight and be stable doing so.
The first set won't take a lot of lateral movement before those nails or screws at the top of the leg start to fail and the horse becomes unstable.
The second set like it's plastic store bought counterparts seems to me more trouble than it's worth to build.
The third set dubbed the "pro" set I wouldn't even build or own. The base doesn't look broad enough to supply proper stability .
When working with saw horses you need stability, durability and longevity.
They don't need to be works of art. The last thing I want is to worry about God Forbid putting a saw kerf in my work of art.
Like someone else pointed out, that
apprentice of yours won't watch what he's doing and saw right through your work of art.
Besides which your attention should be focused on what you're doing and not your work of art.
Enough said
Once marked in blood the contract has been sealed. Markers are a blood oath between two individuals. Markers are also formally witnessed or recognized; It is not just any blood oath.
Number 3 looks like a holder for a TV table set, I'm going to stick with #2 on design, my diy folding ones have about 1000 lbs on them currently for the past month and haven't budged.
DIY sawhorse is my favorite. dont think the other two would work very well for framing, cool designs tho with my DIY sawhorses, I dont even put the extra 2x4 top plate across the horse and I make them 4' wide. and I just shoot framing nails in the legs and also another 2x4 across the "knees" of the legs If that makes any sense. cool video bud
Great video. I believe Sam needs a day where he builds something. (SAM DAY). He is a heck of a builder and needs some recognition for his work too. Cool shirt too John.
I love Sam. So down to earth.
LOVE this idea of multiple levels for various workshops and finished products!
최고입니다. ^^
OK, so forgive my ignorance. It has been 40+ years since high school woodshop. Why do you use your jointer to face the hardwood when you have a planer and a sander?
I bet you could make a A frame house like the number two design with out the folding part
Awesome. Your sense of humor sold me. Instant subscribe.
You know 32” cut into 3 pieces is exactly 8 feet however 10ft leaves you with a little less than 24” left over on each board. So 8’ boards has no waste
Loved the first one simple and easy. I cut the crap out of the set I have now. Just make new when they get bad. The other 2 are to fancy lol.
