#8 Fast and Easy Saw Horse Build

I built a new pair of saw horses from 2 x 4's. They are nice, strong and stackable. I like that they don't need any bottom braces. I made the legs 30" long and the over length is 48" long. However, you can easily change these measurements for you needs.

Video is on point easy and simple thanks for the tips and now i build me two......

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

I’m glad this video was helpful for you. I use these sawhorses a lot.

[@jaydeebee3147]

Set it on impact mode to save your wrists

[@MsLesset]

It is May 2024 and I am watching this video to make sae horses wit my son. Thanks for this video. Do you prime them after or do you use pressure treated wood?

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

I don't do either. I use plain construction lumber since I store my saw horses inside.

[@ralphnolan3187]

Good job

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thanks

[@sandsquid]

It takes 5 pieces of 2x4's to make two saw horses. Each 2x4 yields 3 pieces. 10 pieces at 30 inches and 4 pieces at 32 inches. You're welcome.

[@davebrow3194]

Why not do 32" same amount of lumber?

[@Traqr]

In my area, 92-1/4" studs are usually the better lumber: 2x30" legs + 1x32” flange = 92" plus two saw kerfs. Basically, cut 2x30” from each stud and you'll be left with the flanges. You end up with one extra flange for two horses from five studs, assuming you want the 1" clamping lip on each end. For more permanent horses I'll pocket-screw a brace flush to the legs at 12” like a sawhorse ladder to prevent racking if I'm planing lengthwise on the top. The extra flange plus one extra stud gives me the four "step" braces I need, and they still stack exactly the same way. If you glue them you also have a low platform support and a place to step on if they're moving around while you're chiseling or planing.

[@andrewbratos6907]

great job and great video, im making a pair, wish me luck ( I'm going to home depot)

[@Jordanwoodworking]

I like these sawhorses. Simple n quick. But the background in the video is awesome

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thank You Very Much!

[@RedRabbitOfficial]

This is the best design for saw horse. Don't need any additional braces on the bottom. Great video!

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.

[@craftyshed]

Great video. I did a similar project a few days ago, it turned out very strong, but I think your project is easier and faster to build. Thank you

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

I like the strong design, while being very simple to build.

[@ezepilot160]

Very helpful I will build some just like this tomorrow for my home project !

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Awesome!!!

[@asaalul4561]

Structurally sound, easy and fast to build. I like your charms when building it, it will be very kind to you in return for years to come ( that's the secret of creating), cheers from an old carpenter.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thanks So Much!

[@allenh7835]

Good job ! Simple and strong and easy to work with.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@nf5363]

Good video. Why did you make the top and bottom pieces of the I-Beam longer than the center piece? Thanks.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

They are longer so I can easily clamp the work to the sawhorses if need.

[@monicawhite5352]

With the longer overhangs it can be useful when trying to clamp boards on top ends of the saw horses.

[@davidbertrand6884]

Need to countersink screws so as saw blades don’t make contact with screw heads.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

That's a good idea.

[@dclinks]

add a 2 x4 scrap....cut into that :)

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Good Idea!

[@javierunzueta3535]

Great video: I have a question: to make one saw horse you cut three 48'' and four 30" correct? and then you proceed to put it together, right?

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

That's Right

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy your saw horses as much as I do.

[@psidvicious]

Get rid of the top 2x4 and subtract weight and cost without losing any strength.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

That's a good point, but I like how mine looks. Thanks for watching.

[@psidvicious]

@@BearCreekWoodworking Your horses ‘look’ perfectly fine. Form follows function though. It’s also not a good idea to have nails or screws in the top because you run the risk of hitting the fasteners with your saw blade, while making a cut.

[@FoScoJo]

@@BearCreekWoodworking The top piece is sacrificial so you don't have to take the whole thing apart to replace it. Just attach it with only one deeply counter sunk screw at each end and remember to cut make cuts at the end of the sawhorse or set cut depth appropriately.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

@@FoScoJo Good Idea! 👍

[@LyleJohnson-q4l]

Didn’t cafe for music, counter sink screws or pocket hole top beam. Just a suggestion.

[@dirtydogvideo]

coulda lined em up an done a balance beam routine for us!! lol. nice job.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

If only I was that talented...lol.

[@SilverTigerSurvival]

Thx for your vid. You inspired me to do my own, works great, mine’s taller using it for a target stand, thx again

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

I'm glad to hear that you made one. They are useful for so many things. I'm glad you watched my video, and found it helpful.

[@Mercy_Centrall]

What type of fasteners were being used?

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

3" wood screws

[@deanparris42]

What are measurements

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

I made the legs 30" long and the over length is 48" long.

[@Mercy_Centrall]

What type of wood did you use.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

It's 2x4's... general construction lumber... pine

[@aaronsalas4381]

That is the easies saw horse iv ever seen to make, looks very sturdy, I can't wait to make mine. Thanks

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

It is So Easy! No angles to figure out. Thanks for the great comment!

[@arjenrobben6426]

great job

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thank You

[@adambaldwin8692]

I love it!!!...what are your measurements?

[@ronmcneal1569]

Apparently, those are secret......

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thanks! I made the legs 30" long and the over length is 48" long.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

@@ronmcneal1569 No Secret...lol. I made the legs 30" long and the over length is 48" long.

[@oneeyedphotographer]

Less music, more explanation, cut excess footage. We don't need to see you make every cut, drill every hole, drive every screw. Sizes are useful, and explanations of design choices.

[@hankandrox]

Measurements? Would LOVE to make these

[@CRZ_CHAMUCO]

dare you to search fasteners in spanish

[@corbindallasmultipass]

Add a gusset and they will be truly amazing

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Good Idea!

[@nigelfuller1840]

I lost count of the number of times you held the wood on the right hand side of the blade with your left hand. That’s when I stopped watching.

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Thanks for watching.

[@toordog1753]

What kind of screws are you using where you can't get your bit to bite? Lol

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

They were square drive screws. I have changed to torx (star) head screws now. They work much better.

[@CRZ_CHAMUCO]

lol if you r a student

[@patheticcircus3774]

You can build saw horses but you sure don’t know much about using that saw 30 seconds into video your showing that

[@OllySadlier]

Differnce is 20yrs between the 2. Like hello
