    This saw horses are one of the best I have ever had… Very strong n reliable…

  2. Travis

    I like them they look great

  3. Mike (verified owner)

    The plans were very great … very thorough. The idea is very clever and the sawhorses are very strong. I made one change: I placed a 2×4 (notched) to fit between panels which I notched at bottom. This keeps the sawhorse at a fixed opening and increases its stability. The cross member gets removed each time the SH is folded.

      Thanks, Mike! And thanks for sharing the details of your modification!

    I want to complement you on your high quality plans. They are very very complete with detailed measurements and how to cutting suggestions, that will be very helpful in producing a quality set of sawhorses.

      Thanks, Ron!

  5. Steve (verified owner)

    Great plans, very clear and easy to follow. They could be improved by adding metric measurements or having an alternate, metric version.

    • Tommy Rich (verified owner)

      Thanks for the review! I’ll add a metric version of the plans when I get some time!

    I built the two saw horses, and have since cut all the pieces for the workbench
    The plans were easy to follow, having the plywood dimensions was very helpful _ I got them cut when I bought them.
    Strong saw horses _ plan on painting them for protection.

    I was in dire need of a set of sawhorses for a project. These plans worked great , they’re way more stable than figured they’d be, and they only set me back the cost of plywood! Thanks so much

    These are great, my shop is quite small so I can tuck them away in a corner until I need them, also really easy plans to follow. Thanks

    Downloaded the plans. Not made the saw horses yet, but the plans look very detailed and easy to follow. Good job Tommy.

    Hi Tommy: I downloaded the plans just as a test to see how you do your detailed instructions. Very impressive documents. I took the sizes with me to the lumber store and they cut a piece of 1/2″ 4 x 8 sheathing to the main sizes then I brought these 3 pieces home to do the rest of the cutting.
    I followed all of the sizes and did the outer cuts with a circular saw.
    I stacked the 4 pieces together to do the interior cuts.
    They turned out fine but I did need to do a lot of fileing and sanding to make everything smooth. Painted bright red and with the yellow rope they look and work great!

    • Tommy Rich (verified owner)

      Thanks for taking the time to write a review! I’m glad you’re happy with how they turned out, and I’d love to see pics of the red/yellow combo!

    Very amazing sawhorse

  14. al w carl (verified owner)

    truly a great design
    love them

  15. Dan McKenna (verified owner)

    Great plans! You can always go into a project thinking you know how to do, but having someone do the leg work for you it’s always better.

  16. Saifee Rashiq (verified owner)

    Thanks for giving these plans away for free. The woodworking community seems to be very kind and supportive like that, I’ve noticed.

    Anyhow, I followed them and made two very serviceable sawhorses. If I can do that, anyone can. Angle-cutting the bases was a genius idea!

  17. Keith (verified owner)

    Functional and simple.

    • Tommy Rich (verified owner)

      Keith, thank you for the review!

      Thank you, Claudio!

    Clear and concise instructions. Simple yet effective design. Perfect for saving space. I cant wait to build the collapsible workbench to go with them. I dont know what the max load on these is but theres been a pile of lumber sitting on them for a week waiting to be framed in my basement right now and they haven’t fallen apart yet!

  21. jing ledesma (verified owner)

    This is good stuff . will make one of these. need to free some space space since I only have a small room to work on. Thanks Tommy

  22. George

    Great design, simple to build and easy to follow. I also like that the info is both metric and that ancient unit of measurement used only in the USA. Thanks Tommy

  23. Ryan Schwiebert

    Good basic design that uses very little plywood. I changed them a little to fit my needs, but these basic plans were great.
