DIY Leveling Sawhorse Build (HEAVY DUTY!)

[@zynifi]

This man deserves atleast 500k subs, such high quality video's should be seen and loved by many more people

[@WaldosWorld]

That's awesome to hear, thanks! 🤠

[@chadhaulbrook9339]

Thanks! I really enjoy your videos. I've gotten a lot of great ideas from them. I'm a welder/ fabricator by trade and I have really gotten some useful information from you!

[@WaldosWorld]

That's great to hear, thank you so much!

[@jkgkjgkijk]

Ditto!

[@DRuston1]

And honestly I'm only 16 so u got some young viewers I cant wait for the gooseneck build u are an amazing creator and I have learned a lot from u

[@WaldosWorld]

That's great to hear, thank you so much! 👍

[@neiljean-louis3372]

Thats the Ultimate work horse that I ever seen. Very well done. Thank you for sharing. I love all your welding jobs

[@bobbyrebussini1466]

love it! Maybe add some wings like a tree stand and a thrust bearing itl be butter and you wont need a wrench!

[@user-tv5dt3nm9y]

Great work. Horses are great for portability, too. Imagine trying to move a table with the same strength.

[@WaldosWorld]

Thank you! 👍

[@peteschiavoni]

I absolutely love those leveling sawhorses. Genius. They should last for years. I thought you’d go for screaming lime green paint to make them easier to find in the shed though. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Really looking forward to seeing the trailer come together on them. Love seeing Aspen too. She’s such a beautiful pup.

[@WaldosWorld]

Thanks, Pete! I like the idea of painting them lime green 😂

[@qslider303]

Looks like this is going to be a KILLER build!! Thanks!!

[@WaldosWorld]

I'm glad to hear the enthusiasm! 🤠

[@abdulelkhatib2674]

To remove seams out of smaller pipe, I use a spade bit and an impact driver I don't know how well a drill would work instead. You also want the nice Diablo or Bosch paddle bits as they'll last.

[@24revealer]

I'm not sure if I agree with your good enough statement, but I do work as a carpenter and was a union scaffolder for 10 years. I do like your sawhorses. When I built my trailer I had HD vehicle screw jacks.

[@WaldosWorld]

I guess my point was that all the members that I add will be positioned relative to the frame rails and won't need to be checked for level. The sawhorses were just used to make sure the frame rails are not warped 👍

[@24revealer]

@@WaldosWorld I understood what you were getting at.

[@stevenbuoni3071]

Loving the truck build and looking forward to the trailer build. My wife and I went to Keene, NH for a couple days. Beautiful country! I can see why you like it.

[@WaldosWorld]

Oh nice! Keene is a nice little city to visit 👍

[@przemyslawbober5035]

[@Austin1097]

Oh good. Another video to help me procrastinate at work! Really enjoying your channel!

[@WaldosWorld]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear it! 🤠

[@joelmason6818]

A video idea for ya. Amend this design with a hydraulic leveler to level the sawhorses together for a 4 point level surface. There are plenty of applications that such would be handy. Or even purposely off level like if you needed a defined drop. Good work man. I'm gonna steal this design soon for my own stuff. 😁

[@WaldosWorld]

Thanks! Interesting idea! 👍

[@fredluden2298]

What kind of hydraulic press would you use for that?

[@joelmason6818]

Built in water level. A few hoses and a good eyeball. That way the four corners can be leveled together. Trying to make some kind of auto leveler would be extremely difficult. Some integrated hosing, sight glasses, and resavour would make leveling a cinch.

[@flatworm00]

I am a little late to the party, but the leveling saw horses is a great idea and you did a super job.

[@stevesalvage1089]

Excellent filming crystal clear !, can't wait for trailer building , that's one project iv never done , thanks for sharing this Waldo !!

[@abhinavsa7]

This channel is so underrated. Love your vids

[@WaldosWorld]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

I like them. Simple but effective. Might I suggest you pick a 'garage furniture' color and buy a gallon of implement paint from Tractor Supply? I paint all of my projects a nice shade of blue. Much cheaper to paint it all with a chip brush dipped into the gallon can than using a bunch of spray bombs.

[@WaldosWorld]

That's a good idea. Implement paint is generally more durable than the rattle can stuff too 😬

[@jamesk7410]

Wow this is a great design thank you for sharing well thought out and not over complicated.

Awesome video Waldo! Glad you included Aspen in It! We are pet parents also. Love your fabrication skills!

[@WaldosWorld]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear the feedback about Aspen 👍

[@arnoldromppai5395]

years ago i built a huge jig table, out of 2x4 tubing, used c-channel and 2" heavy fire hose for air bag, the hose lays between 2, 4" c-channel with 2x1/4 flat bar tabs so they stay in line when inflated with air. for clamping the full length, an width, and the same system for clamping any steel sheeting to a frame.. same as we used at can car building rail hopper grain cars. i build all my trailer, farm gates and any frames on, it make every thing 100% square an level once you turn the air ball valve on, i welded 3 2" seamless tubing peaces down each side for drop leg that lock with a welded on 1" stainless steel nut and a 1.5" 1" stainless bolt, i cut spindle hubs off an old car so i have wheels on one end to move it around. make lay out and clamping a breeze for any size frame, it 40 feet long with a sliding tube to make any width and lock tight with air, i would have used the same air bag set up on them saw horses.. just really short one with a bigger fire hose

[@turbolifestyle6548]

What a great video and those are awesome! Excited for the trailer build!

[@WaldosWorld]

Thank you so much!

[@gregholloway2656]

Another great video, Waldo! Thanks for including the Aspen outtakes at the end. I’m thinking you could build a battleship on those sawhorses. Haha. Might want to put the sawhorse feet pads on some scrap plywood, to ensure they don’t sink into the ground as you add more weight to the trailer build. 👍

[@WaldosWorld]

Thanks, Greg! I should probably include more of Aspen going forward 🤠

[@johnshaw4140]

[@Rubbernecker]

Awesome as always! I can't wait until you have 500k subs and a proper metal work/fab shop. There's no telling the stuff you'll produce then.

[@WaldosWorld]

Thank you! Glad to be a source of inspiration!

[@scottrlynch]

Well done Wald. Watching your videos has me wondering where you learned how to weld. It seems natural for you. I bet you’d be a great finished carpenter too given your patience. Looking forward to more videos. Keep em coming.

[@WaldosWorld]

Thanks, Scott! I've taken some welding classes, but it's mostly practice and patience. And being able to see the weld puddle -- a quality welding helmet with a clean lens helps with that! 👍

[@shortstroke8712]

Nice sawhorses! Love your videos! Keep em coming!

[@WaldosWorld]

Thank you! 🤠

[@stacyreid5077]

Love these saw horses, I need about 4 of them at times, especially since I need to build a new 28-30’ gooseneck car trailer. My old trailer has seen way better days, because it now has a bent frame again, we straightened it reinforced after we bought it at an auction 9 years ago. I noticed the tires are wearing funny. Anyway great video and I learn a lot from watching you build. Just wish I could weld instead of butchering the metal. Lol

[@WaldosWorld]

Ooh, that sounds like a fun project! 👍

[@rockitoffroad]

[@lesliesmith2586]

Take some 1/4 inch round stock, maybe 3 or 4 inches long, and weld 2 on each leveling nut, opposite each other, to adjust for level and no wrench needed.

[@jasona1031]

do you have measurements on everything like your risers and a list of hole sizes. I actually plan to make this myself actually for my fab shop and you'd be a life saver if you could get all that info for me man. You got a new sub lol, absolutely love the work.

[@gregoriobaldari5698]

Looks great. What's the size of the bolts please?

[@chrisgramstorff996]

Theses are awesome, How much stock did you use to build these

[@theciscoranger3955]

I just made a set of these for some projects I have coming up. First off: They are awesome. I set them 6’ apart and got my 72” level out, and let’s just say, in about 3 minutes the cross beams were not only level but also level with the other sawhorse and from one sawhorse corner to the far corner of the other horse. Fantastic. Second, if you make these, I have a suggestion. Weld your Grade 8 rings around your holes before you cut out the pivot slots. I cut my pivot slots first and then when welding the washers, the ends of my cross members warped upward. I know there were some questions about how long you made the top rail was. Didn’t see the answer to that question. But in your trailer video I think the ibeams were 63” on center so i think they had to be 72” top rails on the sawhorses? If you get a chance to measure we’d love to know. My lengths. 45 legs - 17” each Uprights -18” before the v cut Welded crossmember - 56” Top leveling rail - 64” Thanks again for the videos, Waldo. Cheers.

[@waynetaylor9283]

@ 6:08 He did weld the washers first before the pivot cut...

[@bogdanmarkovic]

Should have put some piece of lumber on the top. Without it you will scratch a paint and it will rust faster.

[@saadmujawar818]

[@Craigd68]

What kind of cutoff disc's do you use? And another awesome project.

[@actschp1]

Ever consider putting teflon sliding pads along the top? It would keep your saw horses from getting too scratched up. You can get em from Grainger in 48" lengths.

[@WaldosWorld]

That's a good idea! The paint is already scraped and scratched from moving the beams around 😂

[@tomwaldo9556]

I like this idea. I shared this with my brother.

Would be nice to hear some dimensions of the horses, and how that size worked. Is it just right or would be better to make those taller, shorter? Nice job!

[@metal75801]

Listen to the video closely. The only length he didn't give was the length of the uprights.

[@edwardkane3237]

Is that a Diablo metal cutting blade on your chop saw ?

[@WaldosWorld]

It is. It works pretty well 👌

[@edwardkane3237]

@@WaldosWorld after seeing how well it works, I’m going to have to buy one. I do some metal fabrication myself and burn thru too many abrasive wheels on my chop saw. Any idea how many cuts that Diablo blade would be good for ???

[@xnorcal831x]

It looks like the chop saw is pushing the metal as you cut you can see it on the first cut you make.

[@jackspania8]

I really like that idea for the sawhorse. By any chance could list the materials and dimensions used in the build? I would like to try building a pair myself.

[@viking8781]

Man, I've wondered about those Diablo blades. I'm not impressed with all the sparks coming off the cut. Is the piece hot after the cut?

[@bornshire4761]

I must have missed it but was wondering where you purchased the saw horses from?

[@DrLeFree]

great build! :-)

[@jeremylong7532]

Nice sawhorses but wouldn’t some pipe jack stands be cheaper? I picked some up the other day for $75 a piece foldable

[@andrewk8636]

Hey Waldo I just found you channel and subscribed right away! Already watched like half your videos lol. Anyway if you're upgrading the dry cut saw just for the 45° angle, the evolution saw also has the same problem of sliding the metal on miter cuts. Jimbos garage uses the evolution saw and he pointed that out

Thanks! I just bought a Canon EOS R6. Most of the video was probably shot with my EF 50mm f/1.4. It's a cheap lens, but it gets the job done! I use an EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM when I can get the camera back far enough, but it's a bit long for the workshop
