- Kevin shows you how he makes sawhorses on the homestead. These sawhorses only use basic tools and do not require any angle cuts at all! The best part is they are fast to build and only use 5 2x4's per set.

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Monday thru Friday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

For all those who missed it in the vid and are to lazy to check.(like me)
5 pieces at 30in
2 pieces at 32in
i only see 1 short piece used for each sawhorse not 2
@@bartoski-agThe two 32” pieces are for the top and bottom of the I beam. The 4 legs and center of the I beam are 30”.
Thanks
Why make the center of the i beam 30 in.
I built these today. First wood building project in my life and I'm OLD. Came out GREAT! I'm so proud of myself. :-) :-)
Great to hear, it's fun & infinite what u can build
Great place to start!
Keep building things, you start with easy stuff and before you know it, you can build more complex stuff!
Sawdust is addictive so tread carefully. I have for years referred to sawdust as man glitter, I guess I stand corrected, Ma'am.
Mike
outstanding !!
😎👍💖
Wonderful! Been looking for a quick, inexpensive design for days now. This is it! I appreciate your efforts. Thank you!
Finally, a video with simple tools and easy to build horses. Thank you!!
Great job Kevin. We need to make a few of these. Thanks .love the Homestead Exact. Sounds like a great T Shirt ! Blessings to all.
Thank you so very much!
Keeping it simple with the 2x4s and measurements is what I needed.
Subscribed to your channel..
Thx Again!
love all the straight cuts for just getting it done quick and easy, thank you
Making these today! Thanks so much for the simple project... it's going to help a lot during our building season this year.
Thanks Kevin! Love that they're all straight cuts.
That's a great design, and for something that's definitely going to get a lot of use.
Thank you so much. So easy to follow and it feels really good to make these yourself and see the final product. Love the content man!
Thanks so much for your video . I looked at several videos but this one was perfect for me got mine built came out great 👍.
Best AND easiest sawhorse tutorial man! Can’t wait to build these this week🤘🏻 thanks!
Perfect! No angles, just straight cuts! Thank you!
Haha, "homestead exact", love that! Great video! Thanks!
Nice and easy yet functional - thanks. Most youtube videos with "build simple" in the title then show $1000 tools and expert level craftsmanship; this was a pleasant surprise.
I have watched several videos and yours is by for the best method in my opinion. Simple and fast to make. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work.
Hey Kevin I've been watching your channel for a while. Thanks for this video, I came in the house looking for a good video on how to build these and was happy that you were the one I landed on.
Just made a set. Super easy and well designed. Thanks for the video.
Knowledge is only valuable when shared.Thanks for sharing.
Just discovered a use from left over skid boards!
This video was great ! Appreciate the time for making the video. I put my 2x4’s to good use.
Very nice and great design. You explain all the steps very well and that guitar solo!!!!!! Rock on brother,.
I had a pile of warped 2x4's and also needed to purchase sawhorses. Thank you for your sawhorse video. I am so happy to be able to build them with your guidance. I love how they stack as well. Great instruction!
This is the video I was looking for. I was looking for fast & simple .now I can use it at all my job sites.
Nice job!! By far the best video I’ve seen. I’m pretty new to building projects and have never owned saw horses..until now! Thank you
Just made these and wow they turned out great and were super easy to do so thanks for making the video!
Wow! Great instructional video and perfect timing as I needed sawhorses for a painting project.. Easy to understand, only required basic tools and the best part is that even a carpentry noob like me was able to build these, although it did take me longer than 30 minutes. Many thanks, now on to painting! :)
Man this is just awesome straight with no chaser easy to understand and now I'm going to build me a couple thank you so much sir for this video
This is really helpful. I couldn't find a simpler design than this. I'll be making a set soon. Thank you for sharing.
I've built a dozen of these, this is my go to video for sawhorses, thank you for a very good video, no BS but detailed enough for absolute beginners. Thank you Living Traditions Homestead!
This is great! Thank you, you have a new subscriber.
Coincidentally, I found this video searching how to make 2x4 I-beams.
Nice video! Love the simple design for those who don't have a lot of tools or shop skills. Thank you.
I just built these with some leftover 2x4's I had laying around taking up space in my building. Very simple and easy to make and don't take up as much space as the 2x4's laying around twisting up. Lol thank for the great video
Awesome...... Thanks, I'm Building a sliding barn door and needed some quick (cheap) saw Horses..... This fit the bill. Easy, fast and cheap. Thanks for making this video.
Thank you so much. Made my husband's day. He made a set and he had a blast.
Built these today, and they work well, thanks for making this video!
Thank you! Fast, easy, sturdy! This saved my whole Dutch bucket tomato project! I owe you big time!
Nice, simple design - no angles, no fancy cuts. Thank you for sharing.
I built a set of these today. Super easy, fast and cheap. Thanks for this idea.
Thank you so much!! I had old 2x4's and made fantastic sawhorses.
Kevin.. just built a couple to place my kayak on it. Made them 'mini" with reduced measurements, but it came out perfect. You're the best. Thank you so much. I'm clueless when it comes to handyman projects and you made it possible.
What a great little video! A project that I completed so easily because of the simple video demonstrated by a seemingly very talented down to earth individual. Thanks so much!!!!
Very nice. I have never been really good at working with wood. The way you showed how to make the saw horses does not seem that hard at all. Thank you so much I cannot wait to get started
OMG. I was looking for a pattern for saw horses for a table I need and stumbled across your video after a google search. SO glad I did! How easy is that? Easy enough that even I can do it! Smarty pants! THANK YOU! And yes, I did subscribe!
Brilliant! Shows that everything doesn't have to be complicated to do the job.
Needed to rewatch this one. With the greenhouse up we need a few sets for sure. Thanks ya'll. 👍😁❤🙏
thanks so much for the video just got done builing my own pair ,they will work great for a project i have started on. Now if i need more i can make them thanks again you rock!!
Good work sir!! A nice simple solution to a old age problem.............Thanks for sharing it with us............
Thanks for your video had fun making them. I have absolutely no experience in carpentry
however been experimenting lately and so far more hits & no miss. . .thanks again
Plain and simple! Good job! Respect from troublesome South Africa
Easy to make with no bevels! Excellent, I will try and make a couple myself. Thank You!
I made a pair of these sawhorses today. Absolutely better than I expected. They’ll be around for a long time. Very solid. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.
Thank you very much for this video! I love how simple this is, im in need of some saw horses and dont want to pay a lot for them. Great video!!!!
Thanks, you are the kind of how to guy that gets it done without wasting time.
Just built these today and they turned out great,Thanks for the Video
Have watch this over and over... have looked at a few saw horse building videos and this one is very simple and looks great. I will make these ones. I liked how the angle of the legs is taken care of simply by the 2x4 at the bottom. Fantastic. Have sub'd.
Love it when kind and intelligent persons share !!! Thanks for the lesson !!! May the Good Lord smile on you and your family !!!!!!!!
Thanks. Nice straightforward design. Good video. Going to knock out a couple tomorrow. Tired of the folding ones. These are way stronger! Good luck with your homestead!
Made one. Older woman not much building experience. Turned out great! Thank you Kevin. Starting a new homestead!
I now have a matching pair of Saw Horses like yours :) - Thank you for the video you've been a great help!
Thank you! I will be building my own sets soon. Nice winter project.
Absolute awesome design. Nice and easy to put together, without all the confusing angles and strong as a horse, lol.
Great video. Much easier to build this than I thought they would be. It's incredible how many projects have to be put on hold because of the lack of something as simple as sawhorses.
Had to come back to thank you again !! This design helped me realize that I can use this and modify it a little to make a great saw horse with a "V" to hold my logs for cutting SAFELY with a chain saw for my Shop Smith wood lathe !
Great video. Easy and inexpensive to make , plus they are stackable . Thank you very much sir .
year 2020 everything shutting down because of coronavirus and just letting you know your video is still helping people thanks! Great video!
Year 2022 and I’m about to build some as well lol hope they turned out well
Yeah cause people let it get shutdown for no reason at all. If people stood their ground none of this would of happe
@@joeisnotpresident6730 funny how small family owned businesses and curches needed to shut down but walmart, amazon, ebay, mcdonalds and all the major corporate global businesses could stay open. I mean, it's really a good thing the sars-cov-2 covid corona delta omicron virus knew to stay away from those places otherwise no one would be here looking at this video about saw horses and making comments about business shutting down during the coronavirus.
2022 and it's no longer cheaper to build this.
🙄 you won stupidst comment of 2020
Sounds like a project for my son to do before we add a porch to our house. These will come in handy. Thank you.
Starting a building project, and quickly realized I needed some saw horses. I looked at a couple other videos, then I found this one. The simplest, sturdiest and quickest saw horses on RUclips. I never comment, but this helped me so much that I figured I'd thank you!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!
In the same boat ‘bout need’n a pair of fresh sawhorses....Love it, quick & simple, stackable, straight cuts, and using recycled materials around here. Thanks so much.
@@LivingTraditionsHomestead What height is the top of your sawhorse using the 30" legs?
@@Supherbie Add 1.5 to 30 and see what you get?
Agreed! Seen other as well, but this was so quick, simple and right to the point. Are going to build sawhorse for some solar panels i have seen earlier at other channel.
Did even save the video so i have this when im going to build the project in March.
I just wantged to give you a HUGE THANK YOU -using your instructions I was able to build 2 sawhorses to help me build a cat shelter for the stray cat colony I have. Now I can actually cut all the wood that people donated to my work, I'm a volunteer w/ a non profit, our city - Tullahoma TN - doesn't have one and the "animal" shelter is pretty much only for dogs. Over the past 5 years I have rescued over 30 cats, had them spayed/neutered and was just building tote box houses. NOW I am finally building an actual building for them to live in -safe and awat from predators. When the project is done it will be like a horse stable -dividers to make 4 separate areas, climbing ladders, scratching posts and so much more.
Came back to say I made one this morning. Easy and quick to set up 💯💯
I made some sawhorses out of some old 2x6 deck boards I had laying around. Good way to repurpose old lumber. Good video. Easy project.
Great video. Simple. I am going to use several to support two LONG farm tables built of old redwood decking, to seat 100 "family style" at my daughter's wedding.
Thanks for the video. Did it and they turned out great. Added a 15 degree might on the bottom of the legs and it worked well.
Freaking amazing. Thanks so much for this video. I have scrap wood lying around and needed a pair of sawhorses. With this build I was able to go out and use pieces that I had already and didn't have to make a single cut. Not one. I used 2x6s for the bench and legs and 2x4s for the center and bottom of my I beam. These are fantastic. There very sturdy and extremely simple.
I just saw this video and love the simplicity of the sawhorses. I run a custom sawmill/molding/kiln yard and we always need sawhorses for something. I just happen to have about 30 or more pieces of 2x4x17 I cut from some pine logs I had around. So I am going to make at least 3 sets during this rainy day
Thanks for sharing, I am going to make four this weekend, I am working on a Master Closet build and I am assembling all the pieces in the garage, so yes I need a sturdy and solid workbench, four of these with plywood on top will be perfect. God bless
Superb effort and marvellous explaining that I get to see only in a few videos like these. Kudos to you. You have inspired me to do this on my own as DIY project. With regards from India.
Great Video! I was looking for an idea for a quick and easy build and this was it. Made these this afternoon. The one thing I added was a gussett to each pair of legs for added stability and I used up the remaining 2x4. VERY little wasteed material in this project. Thanks so much.
Awesome! Fast and easy to build and SUPER STRONG design Kevin!! You could drop a car engine on a couple of these and they'd be fine. I will be building three of these this weekend.
Thx for the video you just changed my mind on how I was gonna make some saw horses. I will be using your version instead.
Thanks for the tutorial! I’m building some out of 2x6 slightly longer in order to do some body work on my truck bed. God bless bud.
Nice.
I really like the way you create this project.
Nice and simple. I like using a small piece of plywood on each end cut to fit.
That was very easy to understand! I was intimidated, but now I'm ready to assemble my own! Thanks!
Awesome design and simple. Was considering using a strip scrap of plywood on the insides of the legs for additional support. Thanks Homestead.
God bless you too brother! Great simple instructional video
I will be building these today with your plans. Great video, thank you !!
Thanks for taking the time to share this. My dad used to build these when we built houses together. They last forever. The top board is replaceable if you cut it too many times. I build mine out of treated wood and just leave them behind the shed.
This build is awesome man. I am 100% going to whip some of these up.
FRONT PORCH PONDS- Licking,Mo.
thank you for a very simple and quick design! 🌻
I watched this video this morning and built them two hours later. Helped me build a shelf for my garage later on. Thanks!!
That's awesome! I watched the video and made them 2 hours later.. needed it for a shelf in the shed.. now more projects
This was just what I needed to make my own saw horses. I never seem to have enough of them around. I'm doing some big projects and these will definitely be the first thing I do. Thanks!! This is GREAT and EASY!
So glad it will help!
My man, thanks for the video. Made these today, your instructions were awesome!
Great idea. They look strong too. Couple of add-on options would be a power outlet in the "I" part of the beam or a one-by tray below the "I" for easy reach tools (puts a damper on stacking though). I will try these since I need some. Thanks.
Built a couple sawhorses for myself work pretty good come in handy quick and easy to build
Fantastic advise and video, made a pair of them to day for myself 👍👍
Thanks great little project. I have a Milwaukee "Driver" not a drill, and that sucker drives screws like you would not believe. One of my favorite tools, might want to check one out.
Thanks, brother. I built a pair today. The only difference with mine is that I added an additional 32" piece on top of the I beam. Less stress on my back. They also look great! Great video and you got a new subscriber.
Sawhorses! Just what I need, and you made it look easy. I'll build a set today.
Thanks for the video! In the process of making these now. Definitely gonna watch more of your vids!
