    First off, like the soda machine in your shop. Good job of showing a simple design that is easy to build. Have several sets with a 48" long 2x4 on top. I keep 3 each 2x10s 10 ft. long to put on top of the set of saw horses. Lengthwise cut of a sheet of plywood with out a piece falling. Also keep several 2x2s 48" long to put on top of planks for cross cutting a sheet of plywood and not hitting (cutting) the planks. Use it to hold my DeWalt miter saw, cutting up plywood, assembly, painting and scaffolding. Found that the vinyl post sleeves are 4" and just right for when using my miter saw.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing. I built a set this afternoon to use as a door painting jig. One simple step to increase stability and weight bearing capability is to add a 1x2 or 1x4 horizontal cross member on the outside of the legs about half way down to make an "A" frame. That will keep the legs from splaying. Make them long to start with and after they're screwed on, mark the overhand, take them back off, cut off the overhand and reinstall to have them flush with the legs. Super strong.

    Thanks for sharing. Just built a pair of saw horses from watching your video. Slight alteration was using 2 x 6’s for the legs (the only lumber I had). They turned out great - perfect for putting my sailboat on, and strong, too 👍🏼

    Great video, a fool proof simple to build saw horse. I found adding ply to the each side countered the tendency of the screws, and therefore the legs, to work loose after much use

    Well presented video, no waste of our time, and the only thing I would add are 1x4 (X) cross braces on both sides for max. stability since I've had a couple of horses pull up lame and collapse when working with heavier loads - so now for safety I use three instead of two, (much safer).
    Thanks for sharing from a new subscriber, hope to see some other ideas in the future.

    Okay I made a set of these. They do go together fairly quick ,but the main complaint I have is you probably have to play around with screw sizes and placement to control splitting. Also- they are okay for light duty but if you're going tho put a lot of weight on them you might want to add some horizontal bracing between the legs close to the bottom.

    Save some weight and leave that top 2x4 off. It doesn’t add any strength or function. Also it’s best not to have any screws or nails in the top, so that you don’t need to be concerned about hitting them with your saw, while making a cut and ruining your blade.
