Sturdy Folding Lightweight Sawhorse

This folding sawhorse is surprisingly strong. The design locks the legs in place so it remains at the same height all the time. It folds almost flat and can be stored away when not in use

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!

[@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!

@@AlansWoodworking I tried to copy your creation just now, although not nearly as nice as yours mine will suffice quite nicely, keep those brilliant ideas coming my friend.

Genius! I will try to build this...

[@AlansWoodworking]

Thanks! Have fun😄

Nicely crafted.

Thankyou very much!

Very nice!

[@kennethwallace5168]

Best one yet!

[@AlansWoodworking]

Thanks for the feedback😁

[@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

[@benrabahmohamed9657]

Good job I love it I sow many videos,I choose yours. Thanks a lot

[@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

[@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

[@floydwilson8606]

can you give a rough estimat of material needed?

[@AlansWoodworking]

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

[@floydwilson8606]

@@AlansWoodworking Thank you.

[@celialvesArts]

Excelente! Show!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@carlafernandez9610]

Hi what timber size did you use?

[@AlansWoodworking]

I used 90mm by 12.5mm because that's what I had in the shop.
