How to Build Heavy-Duty Sawhorses -- Truck Camper RV Supports

[@msears101]

Kent, I appreciate all the extra that you add to your videos that makes the videos a bigger production than expected. Your edits, special effects, graphics and voice over are top notch. I particularly like the special effect when your stunt double helped place the saw horses under the camper. I also like the ones where a live scene cuts to a 3d CAD drawing. As always informative and entertaining.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thank you very much!! I really appreciate your kind and supportive words here.

Xlnt tutorial. Easy to understand and duplicate. Thank you for this video.

[@jordancave6987]

I don't think any of us have any issues with the length of your videos. I enjoy every single second.

[@hanklee6529]

Nice video. I made the tops 48" and the legs were 24" to keep the number of 2X6's to four. I used 2X4's that I had laying around for the stringers. I like the 24" legs to be lower to the ground than your 30" to have less stress on the corner jacks.

[@GregsShop]

Nice job. Very rugged saw horses.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks 👍

[@darringrosch7845]

Great video! Thanks this will work great for my NorthStar

[@mv-db4463]

I don't even need sawhorses and was mesmerized by your video ! Great job !

[@GaiaTutankhamon]

my favourite channel! thanks

[@blandry021]

I don’t think your videos are too long, love watching them.

[@jimreese8486]

Love the build and detailed video. I really appreciate how you bore pilot holes instead of pre-drilling.😂👍

[@deejayduy]

I know it takes a lot of work in making your videos but don't change it. i enjoy your detail video and craftsmanship..

[@george8873]

The attention to details in your videos is what makes them great and a pleasure to watch. I appreciate the time and work you put into them. Anyway, definitely a great design for saw horses. Very strong, and will last forever.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I appreciate that!

[@mattevans-koch9353]

I also appreciate the length and detail voice over of your videos. I understand the amount of work that goes into these videos, so if you find that you can shorten them and reduce your editing time that is fine also. I built a set of these many years ago using 2x4 lumber, but had to go to folding horses when I moved into my small shop. They were some of the toughest saw horses I ever used. Thank you for taking the time to share these with us. Best wishes to you and the family for a safe, healthy and productive week ahead.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thank you so much!! You are very kind! Kent

[@user-xb8em1hn1g]

Thanks for your video, this is exactly what I was hoping to find to build very strong saw horses for my camper.

[@TheBrynwen]

I agree with the other comments. It's the details that make your videos so helpful. I know it takes a lot if time to create the plans and edit the videos, but the end result is a higher quality product. I also think that it may be in your nature to be thorough and detailed as you are essentially being a teacher in your videos. I appreciate your work!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thank you very much!!

[@tomlindaharris9823]

I'm a beginner carpenter...a recent widow trying to learn the chores my maintenance man husband routinely did. Your detailed instructions are perfect and essential for someone just learning. Too often experienced carpenters leave out steps assuming they are already know by others. Your step-by-step are exactly what I need. It would be helpful if you had a supply list of sizes and number of boards to cut along a list of screw sizes. I know you include this information in the video, but a list would be nice to print for reference. Please keep making these helpful videos.

[@tonylent3426]

Great video. I love how detailed it is.

[@jocelynbeauregard4456]

Like the idea about a 2/4 under….nice job you know!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks!

[@blandry021]

Thanks for the sawhorse plan

[@jasonkaminski6230]

Some of the best how-to videos on KZbin! Would love to see how you made the other style saw-horses in your shop.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thank you so much!! I might do a video on that this summer. (as I need some new ones)

[@boots7859]

Perfect timing. Building a 48x16 deck, and need to clamp the ~42 joist together so I can run a router along the bottom side which will bear on the beam. These should be stout enough.

[@boots7859]

I hope Kent doesn't mind, however if anyone were wondering what these saw horses will hold, you might want to check near the end of this YT: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXa4mIGgiZahfbc. Seeing as Kent's is a 2x6, it should hold even more if built the same.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Good stuff!!

[@rjwintl]

Titebond 3 is a superior and waterproof glue that I use building boats … try it on your next project !!!

[@gardendesignwithozzymaldon7807]

First time watching your video and I enjoyed the easy to follow instructions and full production. keep up the great work, I'll keep watching your videos. Have a great day.

[@Jerry-ko9pi]

I use my miter saw at an angle to do my bevel for 2x6 and smaller. I only tilt the saw when I'm cutting something bigger than 6". The saw can cut 2x6 when it's vertical position. Nice set of saw horses though.

[@tiitulitii]

Have you tried mixing varied concentrations of cotton wool in the cement and test strength? Cotton cement is extremely schockproof. 👍

[@sj6404]

Super video.

[@juliamason8393]

It also helps the wood to last longer before rotting on the ends that are in contact with ground is to paint the wood with waterproofing liquid. Several coats of it will ensure the wood will resist rotting for several years longer than if not waterproofed

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Good tip! Thanks!

[@tbac2432]

Wants to shows us how he built sawhorses for a truck camper. But shows us how to build sawhorses for a M1 Abrams. 😀

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

LOL! Thanks for that!

[@alcinabattenfield4556]

Just found you again. Glad i have. Hope your doing well. Love all the concrete panels for edging or whatever. Wondering if you sell the forms .im not good with measures or construction but i like to dp things myself so i can learn and adjust to variables. . Hope you can help me my man .😃

[@mmmdesignllc]

One Comment. Watch your load paths, make sure you are under major structural components in your camper. For instance, I'd place the front saw horse under that front edge. You know that the weldment of the camper has a lot of structure in that fwd wall, so place the saw horse there. If you can do the same for the rear, I'd do it too. This will stop bending over time. p.s. I like your videos. I would not change your format one bit. Take care.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks! Very good points here. I was having trouble finding any specific recommendations on placement of the horses from camper manufacturers. I wonder if two (or more?) 8' planks over each end of the sawhorses would be better. To even out the load. And have the sawhorses set at a third in from each end of the camper. I'm open to suggestions.

[@flyinacircle6398]

@@MANaboutTOOLSheck, why not just cut a rectangular piece of thick plywood and place it on top of the sawhorses? to distribute weight.

[@allianzagag]

Paint board ends by polyvinyl acetate glue

[@doubledarefan]

Polyvinyl acetate dissolves in water. Exterior caulk would be better, also, its rubbery nature would make the sawhorses less likely to slide.

[@dokmanian]

I'm sure you have heard it many times but I'm going to say it again great job and great attention to detail. Also just asking for advice if I was going to build this 8 ft long would 4 legs be ok or 6

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks! I'd probably go with 6 legs.

[@alcinabattenfield4556]

I wonder if i can make the color of conctete with color variation instead of solid

[@louieblazo9687]

I too enjoy your video 's, so please don't change a thing. I was wondering if it'd be possible for you to show us how you'd build the saw horse's in the back ground. Not the green one's but the ones for general carpentry . It looks like there made of 1 by material. Thanks

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I will do a video on that in the future. Thanks!!

[@AlainStar]

👏👍💪🔥

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks!

[@markjackshit4607]

Dont think the i beam 2X4s are needed
