THE 10 MINUTE £10 SAWHORSE - Super Simple DIY Build!

There are endless ways to build saw horses and ponies but sometimes super simple is all that's needed. For the timber framing I needed a quick and cheap solution to be able to lay up my frames outside so an addition to the herd was in need!

Painting with toddlers: Adorable yet terrifying in equal measure 😆

[@allthingsdrumssimonpicken5420]

Made these last month. Use them almost everyday, always in the van now. Brilliant

[@lisawilliamson5468]

I don't really have a need for saw horses, but, getting to see you kids was a treat! Love all that you and the family do!

[@djjoeykmusic]

Great video Thank you so much! Have a wonderful one Cheers

[@politicalpartyagnostic268]

He is a manly man for sure!! 👍🏻 Hey Bosch, send this good man a new saw!! Lets all email Bosch!!

[@GKganesan]

Thank you. Learnt a lot.

[@alexwoodfield9281]

Tim. I have been gearing up with input from a number of your excellent videos, thank you, first to build my 6 x 4 timber frame workshop with a slate roof over the winter and now looking to build a garden gazebo to cover the barbecue with oak frame. The oak was delivered today with some other timber and I suddenly realised that my feeble saw horses would collapse under the 500kg weight of two 6x6 5m lengths. Fortunately they delivered some 4x2 at the same time and I was able to knock up these saw horses in just 10 minutes. Was like a scene from the A team. Really couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you. My main sources of information are your channel, Robin Clevett and Rag’n’bone Brown in the U.K. so nice to have local issues discussed and relevant although of course the US channels can be very inspirational too! Keep up the good work. Another keen amateur.

[@EM-fh2tx]

This is on my list to make for a while, definitely the simplest design I've seen.

[@pemtax557]

I really like the design .. going to the box store this morning to pick up my 2x4's and build me a couple. You're smart to get the kids involved at the age you are ... after raising 4, I can guarantee you will be glad you did. Your a good Dad! Cheers, dave

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Awesome, thank you! Good luck.

[@Clothis64]

Timber time is coming ! And with so much help, it should go fast 😁

[@tomtaylor3743]

Would love learn everything you know. Be my Mr. Miyagi of wood working and everything in general. Love all your work, can't wait for the finished roof reveal and the new workshop.

[@dharmenramasamy4540]

Seen this video, i found it very simple to build the sawhorses. Thanks

[@AbellTo]

I have the Bosch mitre saw the big one and it is amazing

[@cjhification]

Excited about the coming Oak framing!

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Douglas fir this time but still chunky! 😂 Preview on IG today if you want a sneak peek. 😉

[@RandyZimmerman-pp5wj]

As a residential carpenter in the 70s I would always make one with a tray to hold my tools ps get a lot of soap for the kids lol ❤

[@regibson23]

This was my first shop project a couple of years ago using this design (from another video). Was working on the floor then got tired of it. Grabbed a couple of 2x4s and slapped these together in 30 minutes.

[@David_11111]

Yay love this building now ... ok well maybe tomorrow :)

[@charlieamos6640]

Great vid

[@coffeefortwosolly]

Can’t Believe we finally get to this point ...workshop.. yah🥳looking forward to it...even if this British weather is so unpredictable! 😏🙋🏻‍♀️💕🇬🇧jane

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Took a while didn’t it! A bit of rain won’t stop me getting this done. 👍

[@b1shbashbosh]

Cool, Might knock up some of these myself. Can’t wait to get a series on the timber frame workshop. Planning on making one myself so will be looking forward to picking up some handy tips and tricks along the way. 👍 keep it up with the awesome content..

[@martinmann5917]

I love the design. Easy and neat.

[@hewpewdenbigh]

I'll be splaying out my new set for stability. Learned the hard way falling off after climbing on mine.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Yep, 15 degree out and splayed even better, just harder/wider to store I guess.

[@paulwomack5866]

If the legs were cut out of a long piece with the mitre saw, all at 15 degrees (or whatever the maths/trial says), not only would the foot of the leg sit nicely on the ground, but the top of the leg would sit nicely parallel under the top element of the 'I' beam.

[@ARTYCOATY]

Amazing DIY video! Masterpiece!! You're very talented! Stay connected and stay safe!! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful video. And I will continue to support you.😊👍👍

[@chrisdockery1706]

Bro great video..and man you're lil men for me ..too cool Lil dudes they are 🤙🤙💪💯

[@fleecymitt]

Nice - thanks

[@johnvickers5750]

My similar old versions have two triangular pieces of exterior ply offcuts to brace the top edge ends & are still going strong, only ever replaced the worn tops.

[@freedmirza3919]

Love the videos, I made a pair of saw horses this weekend - awesome!

[@worzelgummidge3617]

Brilliant , rough and ready in a good way.

[@stanley626]

A collection of horses is called a string or a harras. Solid work 😀

[@colinblythe3710]

That painting was like a polish re-vite !!lol

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

I have made a few of these and they are very useful.

[@Brown969]

3:12 "eye it up" good one 😉

[@TheRestorationCouple]

😂

[@kevinbutchart7187]

Good design ..although i would add a closed in support each end but thats because i over complicate and do belts and braces to anything i make.. ..lol

[@peterburley2086]

Going back many years when site working we used to make a couple at the opening of the site, some got nicked so made some more and when then the project was completed they went on the burn pile. Temporary use only

[@mikiex]

I was thinking about building a platform for when I need to plaster a ceiling. A few of these and some 18mm ply secured in some way would work really well. At the end I would have these useful sawhorses that are easy to store.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Fitted all the roof beams on the garage conversion the same way! 😀

[@Higgles24]

Just discovered your channel, and enjoying your videos. Plus you guys are a stones throw from Cheddar lol. Subscribed.

[@tonycummings4588]

7:26 you could pu the support on the inside of the bottom stacking one and the outside of the one that will sit on top :)

[@petemoring67]

:-) :-) :-) GREAT to see the FUTURE of #DIY is in Safe Hands ;-)

[@cjhification]

Handy little saw horse design, should be good little fleet of horses.

[@mergrew0110]

Always, but always, check with mum! Not to is the road to the dog house.

[@stevehayward1854]

Kids + Paint : What could possibly go wrong

[@louislandi938]

Make your top piece a few inches longer and you can use a clamp on it!

[@johnstanton8499]

Good design thanks ,Will the new Bosch saw hold up to the same neglect as the first one?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Not once I’ve built a new home for it to live in! Plus it will be a fixed saw rather than being dragged around project to project. 😀

[@dangarcia93]

Novice question - I've never really build anything so this would be a great place to start. What screws should I use for something like this?!

[@TheRestorationCouple]

80mm wood screws should do the job.

[@dangarcia93]

Thanks! @@TheRestorationCouple

[@Markkilleen.]

Have 2 of these, cut them legs at 15 degrees, sits in lovely.

[@syl764]

I need a few and was going to follow Robin Clevett's guide but yours is somewhat easier/quicker and will do for me. I feel exactly the same about my Evolution mitre saw - which of the Bosch options are you considering? The GCM 350-254 is on my wish list (can't really justify the GCM 18V-305).

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Not sure the model, it’s the glide one so it can sit against the back wall, so much wasted space and too deep of a workspace needed for the evolution standard bar design.

[@brassroot166]

The kids are actually better painters than me😳

[@lbh002]

Wheaties!

[@cjhification]

Is it the Bosch glide your looking at or the slide?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Glide, need to be able to get it up against the wall as it will be a static machine.

[@cjhification]

@@TheRestorationCouple Ive been thinking of the upgrade from slide to glide for same reason, bit harder to justify though.

[@murrayashmole9195]

Where did you find a metric speed square?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

The metric Swanson one. Can’t remember where I bought.

[@chrislyon8677]

@@TheRestorationCouple I bought my metric speed square on Amazon

[@glenbrown5757]

Where would you go to buy your cls timber?

[@mikiex]

Massive stacks of it in B&Q

[@steveharrington1242]

how long are the 4x2's?

[@nicklloyd-jones]

Four legs at 590mm. My guess is 2400mm.

[@jamesthow1181]

Hey do you have any tips for keeping the legs right. I've tried to make some today and genuinely can't get the legs to screw in at the right angles...helpppp

[@jamesthow1181]

I used 63 x 45s and maybe that's why it isn't working

[@fireblaster9961]

Don’t think theses would pass robins single bevel hyped up saw horses

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Ah, but when you need to make half a dozen in your lunch hour.... 😉 One day I’ll make some nicer ones but needs must.

[@ukconstruction]

I do like the simplicity of these and unlike the single bevel trestles that I make I reckon anyone could make these!! nice work Tim

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Robin Clevett I guess they all do the same job to an extent. 😄 Just beats timber framing on stacks of pallets!

[@jockwalker24]

For some reason I get a nice warm feeling when 2 KZbinrs I watch comment on each others channels /videos

[@tentonhammer5469]

@@jockwalker24 Robins a class act.

[@richardbinnie]

I don't need these, I have no place to store these yet somehow, I have an urge to make these. Go figure.

[@thewatermillscotland]

You clearly haven't looked at the price of timber recently hehe. More like £16 from Jewson. Either that or again... south of England is just that much cheaper :(

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Merchants were a bit more but Wickes still under £5 a piece. It’s all going up though. 🙄

[@thewatermillscotland]

@@TheRestorationCouple 170 miles and over £250 of ferries to get to Wickes!

[@garyfardon8841]

Robin Clevett's version is class compared to these.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Agreed. 👍 But it would have not have been a good use of time to spend any longer on these for the use they are needed for.

[@worzelgummidge3617]

Robins the man . But he is a professional carpenter.
