Use a quarter or one inch bottle cap, washer. Easier than string these sawhorses aren't well suited to hand tools and racking forces. Any idiot can stand on them. All kinds of YouBoobs videos show this. And I can make sawhorses from two feetof two by. Of course they're 4" tall. I think function ranks supreme. I can make legged folding saw horses that are stouter and I wouldn't recommend alot of heavier work on them. Still better then these.
Finding an item with the correct radius to trace is great advice. There are stronger saw horses out there. These are designed to be easy to build, cost effective, space efficient and functional. After I built the first ones I was surprised how well they held up. Most load I've had on a set is 4 full sheets of Baltic birch with me walking on top using a jig to drill 120 holes, and this happens frequently. I've used them for many other things as well and never a sign of them giving out. Racking can be an issue with heavy use. I share an option to give better support in my build plans if that's a concern.
When you back the nut off, during initial assembly, you don't need the second nut, just take a cold chisel and mar the threads in a manner as such that the nut can't back off. I understand a lock nut, or a nylon nut, but the easiest and cheapest solution is usually.the best. Just mess up the threads and it won't back off easily. I do get that you planned on replacing the bolt, hence not just welding it or marring the threads. Looks useful. Thanks for the input! Cheers.
All in the build plans which really helps out the channel, But just in case you can't afford them here ya go ... 1" from the top and side with a 1" radius. It's good to support each other :)
The rounding on the edge to make the leg foldable is very brilliant. This is probably the simplest foldable saw horse design out there. Thanks!
Thanks!

Among all the clean woodwork studio shop. You are the most real set uo. Outdoor machine with plastic cover. Just like mine❤
We do what we can. Keep on building

Thanks for your input.
What is the measurement you make on ends for hole location? How much in are they?
