I'm part of that small, core group that wants long/detailed/step-by-step videos. Thanks for this one, Steve!
Me too!!👍👍
Yeah!, better good long quality videos
Me too!
As am I!
Same!
I am a complete novice at woodworking...I am a retired computer analyst ...your step by step videos are inspiring and informational, your presentation is helpful and entertaining. Thanks a million!
Idem! Bug not (yet) returned :p. His newbie course is fabolous!
Love the more in depth videos and extra attention to details. Bring the long videos.
I really appreciate you Steve. thank you for being a different kind of teacher.

When you say you originally shelved the video, can you post the video of you building the shelf?
I struggled to find a reason (and the money) to buy my own tools until just recently, where I upgraded my driver/drill, and acquired an impact driver and a circular saw! With this quarantine (COVID-19), I am itching to build stuff, and couldn't find sawhorses anywhere, until you blew my mind, showing me I could make them! New favorite channel! Also, I also agree with everyone else in the comments, in that I love that you embrace the very technical and advanced verbage of the word, "icky". Now to binge your videos :D
Hey Steve just wanted to say thanks for all that you do! Was staring at my saw horses the other day and couldn’t believe I’ve had them built and in use for THREE years now!!!
I joined Steve's woodworking class because of how well he communicates in these videos, and how complete his plans and guides are for these projects. Count this as another vote for more step by step projects for the weekend woodworker!
We are seriously so lucky and spoiled to live in a time when you could learn to be an expert to do things like this (as simple as it may be). THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED VIDEO.
Steve, saw both of the videos for this sawhorse, and i love the way you’ve designed it. I would never correct the master, but you described the hinges as 3”, so I bought some. They looked small, but that’s what you said. Now I went back and got some 4” hinges that look perfect. Just thought you’d like to know. Please keep these videos coming. You’re the best.

You seem to always say you’re not that good at this stuff but I watch a lot of other craftsmen and do my own at home and brother you are a damn good craftsman. A true artist. It’s not just the craft. It’s the attitude and ambition and you have all that and more.
Steve it is your details that make your videos good for newbie’s, I have been making saw dust for about 50 years and learn something new all the time.
I almost got a black eye when I facepalmed when you used the speed square as a guide for the skillsaw all my uneven cuts no more! Thank you so much!!!
Same. I feel like that answer was right there on my belt for years.
an extra little tip is to point the speed square towards yourself, that way the base plate of the saw is supported earlier during the 'infeed' part of the cut. Makes for a more stable and probably safer / more accurate cut.
@@Asha.woodworking Sorry, "yourself" is not very clear to me xD ...which axis do you rotate in terms of X/Y/Z or pitch/yaw/roll? I was trying to experiment with this during my build.
@@darrenprentice7934 he's saying opposite of the way it was used in the video. The way in the video holds true, harder to push at angle.
I recommended the weekend woodworker class. I am a retired combat veteran.. His class helped me transition and slow down things that was flying around in my head. It didnt cure me, but was a big help.
Just became a homeowner and finally have the room (and reason) to start woodworking again for the first time since high school. I'm soooooo glad I found your channel to get rid of the rust. This will be the first in a loooong line of projects. Thanks Steve!
I want to let you know that I really appreciate that a project like this wasn't perfect, and that you showed and explained those imperfections. It is very tempting, especially with a lack of experience, to become disheartened by errors like what you showed. Your calmness and statement of "I could fix this and here's how, but this ultimately doesn't matter" is relaxing to amateurs like myself. Seeing someone with experience make a mistake and own it is refreshing and humble. Thank you for that.
I am one of those people that likes the step by step, that's why I signed up for all of your courses!
17:00 legit tip! I was manually sanding a tabletop last week and I was getting seriously tired but I told myself not to be a lil bish and get the job done. Well, I over excerted myself and spent the next 4 days feeling sick as a result
You were one of the first youtubers i found when i got into woodworking. Glad you're still around. Love your content. Greetings from san jose!!!
Thanks Steve! I can’t believe this video was 24 minutes, it seemed much shorter to me. I really enjoy learning from you. Keep’m coming!
Genius !
favorite design so far !
After watching many videos on making saw horses, I like your design the best. Plus I like the detailed steps. Nice job!
I made this set of sawhorses 3-4 years ago from your previous video, and I use them EVERY TIME I am in the shop. Because I have to park in my garage, I have to stow all of my workshop away to get the car in. These, plus a sheet good cutting grid I made make up my main work surface. Every shop heeds a set of these!
That was a great video Steve. I know I'm a little late to the party, but these kinds of videos are really helpful for those of us who aren't at the point where we can visualize the project in our heads before beginning. Anyway, thank you for being such a great teacher!
I'm an accountant with a crafty streak and I LOVE these kinds of videos. I'm gonna make myself a set of these this weekend. Thanks for the great plans!
I started watching your channel years ago precisely you took the time to explain each step of the process. As your videos became more condensed and more "crafty" I found my interest in them waning. Thanks for adding this one. Even if I don't build these sawhorses, I learned some tips that I can use in other projects, tips that likely would have been omitted from your more recent video format.
Thanks Steve. I am watching this just when countries are beginning lift restrictions and moving to the "new normal". Your 2018 tutorial is superb and I wish to express my thanks. Great job. Cheers
Steve I love watching you videos , thank you for explaining things so throughly and so fast, you make everything understandable ! I've watched other videos that get boring pretty fast, your videos are fun and interest to watch, thank you !
As soon as you said this video was a long one (about 10 seconds in) I hit the like button!
Still ruling the woodworking world!!! Great Steve!
So..thats the kind of video thats helpful. UA-cams algorithm im sure says most folks will not watch that through the end, lose attention, that assumption is sad. Thanks for the details and not trying to hide things like having to go back and back the slots bigger on the support pieces. In real life...thats what you do. Your genuine personality comes through. Thank you.
Yes, like the long content. Even if I didn't need sawhorses or wanted to build something, just seeing detailed explanations of "attach this here via this method to there to achieve functions A and B" show useful info, and a well thought-out process at work. So thanks. And yes, the woodworking courses are worth the money (and then some).
I’m glad there’s a long step by step video. We could use and advanced step by step video on fit ups and joinery.
I’m not even a woodworker i just enjoy watching these kinds of videos you used to do but i thought you stopped making them please keep making it from time to time
Thanks for posting Steve
Very handy - thanks from South West England.
Ignore the algorithm! I love more in-depth videos as long as they are useful. I’ve learned so much already from going back and watching your older videos.
I love the long format. Screw the algorithm! Thank you for being a true source of education in a medium saturated with bite sized fluff.
Really appreciate your commentary. So many others just shoot the video and do not say why they do something a certain way. Your videos are much more teachable videos for those trying to learn. Thanks for your contribution.
Best set I've seen so far. Simple design and quite easy to make with the necessary explanations at specific points. Great video.
Thanks for sharing!
Steve, been watching your channel for a long time. As a well experienced woodworker( 50+years) I know a lot that you demonstrate for newbies, but I must say I do learn from you! I pride myself on learning and find you show ways and means of doing things that I have learned. Thank you for sharing! Keep up the great work you do! Thanxz
I love this kind of detailed videos thanks
Yes, of course! This will be my very first woodworking project in many, many years, and I already have all the tools (and materials) used here.
And as I've collected a ton of different reclaimed wood that needs to be "prepared" for my hungry woodstove or saved for future building projects, it makes sense (to me) to start with 2 of these sawhorses.
I've watched other videos with sawhorses, but I feel comfortable following the plans and advice from Steve Ramsey here.
And I've watched and saved many of Steve's videos over the winter for future projects as well as videos about safety and what NOT to do when using power tools like the table saw, router, and more.
Stay safe and creative! Greetings from Denmark (y)
new to the channel and relatively new to woodworking but quickly getting more into it and I like to think making small strides with each project. Steve, your videos are a wonder; easy to follow, impeccably eloquent and humorous but steeped in knowledge, honest yet never condescending expertise. Really appreciate it and keep them coming!
I'm glad that I watched this video...not for how to make a folding sawhorse but how I can make snow covers for my son's shrubs. Going to following most of your video and then add plywood down the wide side so that the snow will slide down and not crush his shrubs. Thanks again for a great video. Love learning new things.
The extra length and detail was useful. I respect that you don't edit out when things don't go perfect. Helps me not to get discouraged when it happens to me.
UA-cam be dammed! Keep making videos like this. Or short ones too. I can follow both. Whatever you do, don’t leave UA-cam. Your ideas are a huge help.
Woodshed Woodworking PREACH!
Perfect job! Loved it!
Thank for the video Steve. I subscribed to your channel years ago when I started and keep on looking for your great videos. A point of view from my end as a viewer. I always try to watch those teachers/video makers who know their stuff and know how to deliver the good (meaning: great instructional video the way you make them), Just because a video is long doesn't mean I won't watch it, sometimes if I'm pressed on time I will keep it for later but what is really important is the instructor/creator reputation (that you have created by delivering what the title of the video read and not stating with A and end up with a bunch of blubbers and end up with B, which is most definitely not the case with you!). So, keep doing what you love and you'll find a core of loyal fans and followers which will always look for your videos. Good Luck!
the best advice i ever heard, and is not related only to woodworking: "it should be fun, enjoy the process, dont push it beyond, that leads to errors and injuries"
Perfect, simple design and with minimal materials and tools....except for the pocket hole jig. lol. Great video!
I am always amazed how people overuse pocket holes after they get the jig. It is WAY faster to just put in straight screws. In the case of the cross members at the tip of the legs, I use a thin strip of of plywood screwed to the face of the legs instead of the one by two spanning between the legs and it is stronger in left right racking, and faster and easier to build, plus no need for pocket screw jig.
Thanx for design. Much appreciated & needed, since my last pair was left, during long move. Can be used for anything. Even a scaffold, for projects on sides of house, above doorways, painting tops of rooms, etc, when ladder's not available.
Husband hates to go w/me, when l'm going for any type of wood. I will go through pallets, searching for the straightest piece, w/least amount of knots. Usually go on days when l have nothing else planned, because l know l will be there for a while. Also make sure hubby knows he's not 'obligated to accompany me....lol.
I already built a pair of these folding saw horses based on your original video. The self centering drill bits are a big help to minimize misalignment on the legs when you put in the screws. Thanks, Steve!
I’ve just been binge watching your videos in the evenings when I’ve got time. This one is perfect timing though! I was trying to figure out how to make some sawhorses but now I don’t have to think it through myself! lol Thanks for the help and all the detail!
I'm starting on a checkbox, but needed something to not work on the ground. This was the solution. And after three hours I'm successful!
Thanks Steve!
Thank you Steve Ramsey. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. You have inspired me to launch my own woodworking channel. Thanks again, keep up the excellent work
Loved every minute!
i really appreciate free longer detailed step by steps how too videos. i was cutting boards in a very narrow shed space today, to make storage box racking for screw storage and thought i really need a custom folding sawhorse.
thank you for detailed how too as its still useful even years later.
i will use your info / tips and build a 90 degree side to cut on and a angled side for stability with a shelf to brace it.
I learnt so so much from this. Always great
Count me in the group that enjoys the long format videos. Nice project, I'm glad you decided to post it.
👍👍👍 Using sheet insulation as a mat. Inspired!!
I wish all your videos were this detailed. Great job Steve!
Just made them! Thanks for the sweet video.
I did it!!! Idid it!!! My first job was a sawhorses. Yeah!!! Thank you so much Steve.
Excellent build! Ty for sharing 👍🏼
The sacrificial insulation work surface is genius.
This sounds funny just when I clicked on the saw horse build I said "oh its that guy !!!" I love your videos they are packed with information and are sort of funny !!! Keep on doing what your doing we LOVE it !!!
"Icky" - gonna add that to my Professional Woodworker Vocabulary so the guys at the lumber mill won't think I'm a noob. :)
Haha...it's in the glossary.
Agreed. I always enjoy using industry terminology.
Icky could go speccy with a bit of finish.
I like the detailed steps. This is the stuff I get inspiration from and the details that I always pause to examine on quicker videos.
the best home made sawhorse i ever seen !!!! thank you !!!
"The algorithm" can shove off, all your videos are great and informative. Your tips and advice are wonderfully useful, to the point, and helpful. Honestly one of the faster channel subs I've made. Keep making great videos!
I took this "long" video and made it 2 hours longer to recreate the project. It turned out great! Thanks for the tutorial!
amazing timing.. this weekend I wanted to build two folding sawhorses to save space and found your video :)
It's the Google algorithm reading your mind and also sticking it to Steve for that comment he made. Google algorithm is on that time of its rhythm.
How did the saw horses come out?
You just helped me make my first sawhorses. Despite being totally unskilled, they turned out great. Thank you!
I love long detailed videos. Before and after videos without the in between are sooooooooo frustrating. Thank you!
Just wanted to say i'm back to watch this video for a refresher for the second set of these saw horses to be constructed. Appreciate the guide and sketchup files too!
As a new woodworker I really appreciate the time and detail of your videos. You have a way of teaching that I can understand and apply. Many thanks.
Hi Steve, just made 2 sawhorses according to this video. They came very easy to make and are very sturdy. Thanks! Used different size boards, mitre saw, pocket holes. Easy and practical project I could recommend to everyone. Now I can easily cut MDF boards outside - FINALLY :) Very good idea is to put a frame of any boards on saworses and use them as a table top.
you darn right brother!!!!!Keep them coming!!!!¡!!!
I enjoy the longer format. More to see and understand without missing important steps or not noticing when orientations of parts change.
I like this kind of in-depth videos, and I noticed you mentioned the measurements in metric too which was great. Thank you for another great video!
Really useful instruction in addition to a clear clean build. Really enjoy your videos, thanks Steve!
Your videos could never be too long. You are a great educator!
Steve thanks for yet another awesome video! Your “long” how to videos are the best! Keep up the great work my friend!
For a beginner, you did a commendable job.
Awesome! This is going to be a project for my son and me. Thanks for posting.
Used your step by step instructions and built a slightly modified set using 70mmx 30mm pine timber. Nice and light but sturdy enough for my weekend projects. Thanks for the simple to follow instructions.
I am am instant fan of this channel! I'm looking forward to making these.
I'm pretty new to woodworking amd I don't have a lot of space to do this at home. I love that you did this whole project on an insulation board. (About the size of my patio!) I love seeing that I still have the ability to make stuff like this!
I've never even hold a hammer before and here I am... watching 24mins long woodworking videos on youtube.... I must admit I did enjoy it a lot....
Another newbie here....I loved the way you showed us so that we can do this.....Thank you !!
Steve I have been watching your videos for quite some time and love the way you explain everything. I personally love the longer videos. Keep them coming
Just finished my sawhorses! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Very cool!
A nice addition would be to add another bolt toward the bottom end of the non-shelved legs so you can use the shelf as a way to lock the legs together for storage and transportation without worrying about them opening up.
I like the long videos, Steve. There’s not a whole lot of videos that I can sit through all the way, but you’re pretty much the number one teacher that I’ve learned pretty much everything from, and I’m always excited when you upload a new video. Hell, my favorite video of yours is the one looking back on past projects and it’s 30 minutes. Anything you post, I’ll watch it.
The thing that hit me in this video is the patience. I tend to rush real bad, because I can pretty much only build things on Saturday, so I always end up rushing so I don’t have to wait a week to continue.
Saw a reference to this video in the ad for the Weekend Woodworker course - saving up to take that next! Love the way you do these videos. As someone coming to woodworking as an adult with no background or experience, you've been one of my favourite resources to dive into this great new hobby!
Thanks for this! Long videos means I can actually learn how to do something.
Nice! Projects using limited tools do help keep woodworking in the realm of Mere Mortals.
I've been looking for a good folding saw horse design. I'll be building this one soon enough, thanks to Steve another great video!!
Great video. I really appreciate you going through the entire project in detail
Constantly in search of nice (but cheap) saw horses. This project hits both marks.
I'm gonna build these. Thanks.
