Sturdy Folding Lightweight Sawhorse

[@RichardTomasini]

I’ve watched a few videos on this in preparation of making a couple and this will be the one I build. Thank you!

[@AlansWoodworking]

I'm glad you like it!

Same here, thanks to the author

[@westislander77]

Out of all the foldable sawhorse videos that I've seen on KZbin, this one is the simplest (and I'm saying that in the BEST possible way). Thank you. I think even I can build this.

[@AlansWoodworking]

Have fun!

Excellent editing. Great build!

Nicely crafted.

[@AlansWoodworking]

Thankyou very much!

[@charlesgoes9379]

Well done, sir!

[@martinhawrylkiewicz2025]

Genius! I wonder if this same horse could be done from 2x4s? I got eight spare 2x4s in the shed and would love to try... My cheap plastic saw horses are way too wobbly.

[@AlansWoodworking]

It should work fine, but they would be a lot heavier

[@Enigma8]

Perfect

[@stevegunderson2392]

The design puts all of the stress vectors through the hinge. Think about it!

[@TheDajoca]

It's a sawhorse. The minimal weight is directed down through the legs.

[@domingasdiasbarros5219]

Muito bom 👏👏👏👏

[@MikeWardNet]

Where did you get the tool used to round over the edges? I really like the pull action of it.

[@AlansWoodworking]

Hi Mike. The tool is the Veritas Corner Tool. I bought mine in australia years ago, but I guess you could get them online these days. They're not cheap and they have limitations (can't use them against the grain) but they're a lot faster and convenient than using a router in a lot of cases. Have fun, Alan

[@osvaldosilva8525]

Perfecto 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼

[@morganstovall5070]

Hey Alan!! Wondering if you have a rough estimate for how much these weigh? Looking to make some for my craft show table pop-ups and am being very concious about weight!

[@AlansWoodworking]

Hi Morgan. The sawhorse weighs 6 kg or 13.22 lbs. I used 90mm stock because that's what I had in the shop, but if weight is an issue you could probably use 70mm without sacrificing too much strength

[@jocelynbeauregard4456]

What is the angle? Thanks…

[@AlansWoodworking]

Hi. The angle I wound up with was 40 degrees. It wasn't a deliberate choice, but depended on the length of the folding cross pieces. I adjusted those to get the height I wanted.

Sorry for the late reply. There are 4 horizontal sections each 75cm long, 4 upright pieces 88cm long and the folding cross brace is 2 pieces each 24cm long. The timber is 90mm by 20mm and the hinges are 90mm wide
