How to Make Adjustable Height SawHorses

My website: woodspirit.net/
Link to tools I use: woodspirit.net/products-i-use/ I found these plans at woodarchivist.com/1425-sawhors...
I modified them to fit my needs.

Awesome! Great job! Thank you so much

Nice, simple and, very useful. This is what I was looking for. Thanks a lot.

[@philipjones9297]

Thanks for sharing, thinking I just might make a couple of these 👍

turn out more sturdy...thanks for sharing

Very nice video. I'm thinking of using this design for outfeed 'table' supports. The height adjustment is a bit too coarse. May route some slots in place of the holes and using lock knobs. More likely I'll just keep the design and use small holes and dowels. Life is better simpler.

Boa tarde meu amigo estou te assistindo aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

I like the design, I would put a cross base on close to the bottom though as it gives you extra leverage with your foot when adjusting the height. I think I'm going to make some of these with 2x4s I've salvaged from pallets.

That's a good idea. I probably will add a lower cross brace myself. Thanks!

Very nice build Mark :) Thank you :)

+The Wood Yogi thanks.

! EXCELENTE TRABAJO, GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO !

The adjustable part reminds me of a Japanese saw horse.

How many boards of what size did this build take?

[@scottbennett6981]

Very nice work. Maybe a little wax would help them slide up and down.

pretty cool - I just think I am not a saw horse guy - but it would be fun to make some -

[@IdRatherMakeItMyself-Net]

Thanks Jimi! I've been able to make due without them but I think I will be able to do quite a bit with these guys.

0:01 opening shot] Left horse looks ok... right horse looks, uh... I'm not on the track of this topic, I've been researching it extensively, but there seem to be several severe trade-offs: over all performance, weight, stability, complexity [cost], and fragility, nobody seems to be able get it all right - that I have seen. That is *five* variables to control! In any field of engineering? Five variables? No way, you have to get down to three variables or you are lost. There is no practical way to solve a five variable equation - except at huge costs. That means you have to specialize. An adjustable horse for what specific purpose? So, after 50 years of dealing with sawhorses and having taken in dozens of videos and articles on the subject recently, I look at this particular offering and it seems fragile and unstable. This design has some advantages, not a whole lot of excess material, [like many designs] and the vertical loads [dead and live] are very close to the axes of the legs - good!. But there are also some real defects, such a light weight working surface? That is not a starter for a sawhorse, to prop up a drafting table maybe. This sawhorse is not low enough at the lowest setting and still too high at the highest setting without enough settings in between. Given a 10-12deg leg spread at 34 in low-working height, what should the leg spread be at 46in high-working height? Do the math. The mathematical difference between those two figures is the loss in lateral stability. That is an unavoidable trade-off. The angle decreases geometrically as you raise the bar, seriously unstable laterally. So now we are down to it - the nub. An 'adjustable' saw horse *must* have adjustable legs to maintain stability - without a severe restriction on adjustability of height. But that is hard, nobody does that, not in the wood working world, and in the wold of made-of-steel adjusted only by friction screws. Do not trust friction screws. Ok, variable number six - 'convenience and ease of use.' So, I do not have an answer. I'll let you know when I've squared the circle.. 2:38] I like those two stumpy horses stacked behind you, they are narrow, but look pretty sturdy. The horse your are working on looks anorexic in comparison.
