Hedrick, I grew up in Newark Valley, and went to Alfred State - class of ‘87. I studied engineering science and went on to RIT for mechanical engineering. Brother went to ASC (class of ‘77) as did my father when he got back from WWII (class of ‘48). And my roommate studied building trades and drove to wellsville every day. Love the saw horses. I make one longer so they nest cleaner. Thanks for clear instructions. Scott, Vass, NC.

My dad received a beautiful set of horses crafted by the cabinet shop at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island several decades ago. Remarkably, they still stand today, having withstood the test of time and frequent use. Inspired by their exceptional quality and durability, I've decided to create my own set for personal projects. My home, built in 1946, is currently undergoing renovation, and I'm proudly restoring it to its original 1940s charm with the tools and ways of that time,

I like the video and appreciate the length and detail. Sawhorses may very well be the first thing many build. For a tray I prefer hardware cloth as it doesn't collect sawdust. I only use a tray on one for better stacking. To stack I make hoses differently from video and each other. Bottom horse has shorter flush ends, top horse is longer, braces and gussets inboard on bottom horse, outboard on top horse. Top horse is longer. This all makes them nest nicely. Also I don't rip the entire edges to get the angle just what I need, with a handsaw at ends.

Built 4 of these today only I didn't read carefully before I started. Thought the top 2x6 was 36 inches long. It is 33" in your plans so when I got to the long side braces, mine were cut too short. I could have moved the pieces up 3.5" but I decided to cut long side braces 34-9/16" and then used the scraps to make the end pieces for another 5 saw horses. I made all my angle cuts and mortises on a table saw and a cross cut sled. I screwed a strip of wood to the B angle and cut my legs and long side braces and mortices then repositioned the strip to the A angle and cut all my end pieces. The only other trick I use is to make screw hole layout tools by making one extra piece of all the pieces and screw in screws so they stick through by 1/16" or so and I can just line up my tool against the piece to be marked and I press the tool on and voila my next piece is instantly marked and center punched for drilling.

Wow. That's a lotta sawhorses. Very nice! When I worked for a building contractor in the 1980s the whole crew (5 of us) got together on a Saturday and made these sawhorses for ourselves. Our boss paid for the wood and we made them on our own time. We also made a shorter version for the company and called them saw ponies. 👍

My grandfather was still building homes in 1955 and had made those kind of saw horses.
@herrickkimball3 жыл бұрын
Hi Clark, That's nice to know. I believe this horse design was once very common among carpenters and it was considered something of a "rite of passage" for an aspiring carpenter to make a set of horses like this. Mr. Burdick, my building trades teacher at Alfred State back in 1979, was an old-time carpenter. The other teachers in the program were much younger. I modified the horses we made back then by beveling the top 2x6 and by eliminating the shelf that was typically in the lower portion of the horse. Those modifications rendered a horse that is easier to make, lighter in weight, and more versatile. Thanks for the comment.

@@herrickkimball My grandfather built with hip roofs in the 1950s. He got lumber by tearing down buildings in the 1920s and built chicken coops with it. In the 50s he turned his 5 acres into 1/4 acre lots and built homes out of the 100 year old lumber. He built homes with a hand saw and hand planes. In 1982 the wife and I built a super insulated solar home with power saws and no hip roofs. I made saw horses from plans in a Rodale publication. They were like yours in angles, but had a tool tray. They were heavy. If I had life to do over, I would copy your saw horses.

Been building 42” PT horses with bull nose legs gusseted square at the end and collared with PT plywood with no lower stretchers. With the last pair I built I made one shorter and narrower so they nest tight top rail to top rail. Longer horses make handling plywood easier. Gorilla glue has too short a shelf life.

These were always my preferred horses, if I had a little extra time. Otherwise, if you need to “hit the ground running”, just go with the standard upside down T-top style (not an I-beam). These will take an extra ~20 minutes with the ripping and notching. Unless the horses were going to need to support a ton of weight, I would always go with a single stretcher, instead of both sides. It just makes them a little more comfortable to carry, when moving your set-up (especially if you’re wearing shorts.) The leg splay (A), is 15°. The leg angle (B), relative to the top, is 10°. I know you’re not supposed to do it, but they do make a handy (and relatively comfortable) short scaffold. Just don’t use them for that when the safety director or OSHA is on site 😜.
