I swear Dave can make anything seem interesting.

I'm not sure what it is, whether it's the outdoors, the background music, or something else, I almost always feel more relaxed after watching one of your videos. No matter how stressed I may be -- In fact, the off-grid cabin video from 2021 is my go-to for when I'm particularly stressed. It's like life slows down, simply by watching these.

"Offensively expensive" is a term I've never heard before, but applies to so many things these days! Thanks for showing us a way to "cut" corners! 😀

I am 82 and wish I was 42. I have learned so much from watching your videos but I am afraid it has come too late. There isn't a bit of me that doesn't feel like I've been lifting logs all day. You, sir, brighten my day.

My favorite thing about Dave is how he tells people that it doesn't have to be perfect. Just jump in and start. It might not work, but you learn doing it and can fix it. So many creators think the project has to be perfect. Nah, it just need to get done and be functional.

Nice to see the job site supervisor (Daisy/Maisy) on duty!

You have the best story telling voice! Your videos are the best! Thank you for making building seem doable for anyone!

My dad made me a set like these when I got my own place. Still going strong after 25 years. He likes to make one slightly longer than the other so they nest perfectly.

After WW2 there was a shortage of building material, the family demolished the houses and all the material was recovered. Dad told how when he was young he took nails out of boards and straightened them so that the nails could be used again.

Building saw horses was one of the first things I remember from wood working as a kid, maybe right after building a tool box.

My Dad had an old single sawhorse in our basement when we were young. It was a frame for a small tent, a dollhouse, a pretend horse and dog, and whatever else our imaginations could come up with. If we had had two there would have been many more imaginary uses. Thanks for reminding me about that, Dave!😍🇨🇦

I swear, he makes anything seem great. Heck, my favorite video he ever made was the one where he cooked kabobs in the woods, ending with a cup of coffee. Can’t imagine how many times I have watched that video.

You are so practical. My honey built 2 saw horses 35 years ago from left over material when we were building our house. Yesterday my family used those same saw horses for a project they were working on. Practical and efficient. Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them.

Glad to be able to see Maisie in this video…great job Dave!

I have never bought a set of sawhorses in my life, I’ve always made them from as you said “with wait ever was laying around”. And I’ve been a carpenter for 30+ years.

I appreciate that these videos promote the idea that there are many right ways to do something and that your average person is capable of all of them.

It's good to see Daisy relaxing in the background.

GOD .......... YOUR CHANNEL IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD ....................

A rare pearl of sensible, straightforward living in this day and age 👍

There are about a million videos on 'how to make sawhorses' and the more I watched, the more I became discouraged. Thank you Dave for showing how easy it can be! I'm a novice builder, so this is timely and perfectly achievable!

Love it. The set I built about 35 years ago gave up the ghost when my nephews son cut through them... A few times. I was on the chemo at the time so I shrugged and figured I would make another set when I could. My wife surprised me with a set of the store bought heavy duty plastic type. It took a while but I have gotten used to the. They're much lighter so easier to move around. I still miss my hand made set, we were old friends. I will probably build another set for in garage but until I do I can't complain about the more modern ones.

I like the way you do things!! 👍🏼😎

Great job, I made some a few years back to park my Camper on, and sold the camper and now use them for my out door bench to work on, everyone loves them, all mine where done with recycle wood, From a Glass Co,

Great instructions, calm music & encouraging inspiration! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

Love the simplicity in your projects. Been my favorite channel for a few years now.

My dad built two when I was a little kid. They lasted well after he died. I had to leave them behind when we moved in 1989. Still good. Made from salvage lumber.

I remember the homemade sawhorses my Grandpa made when I was a kid in the 60's. One sawhorse became my favorite childhood toy. I could pretend to be Roy Rogers and the sawhorse became my horse, Silver. (The wood was kind of a grayish silver). Later, I made one into an airplane by screwing a board across the top to make a wing. An old wooden spoon screwed to the side became my control stick. Imagination took care of the rest. Thanks for bringing back a wonderful memory!

Dave, another great video. I swear to God your narration could make the melting of an ice cube interesting thank you once again by the way love that Belle has started her channel. Heck it’s a family affair.. go Mick!!! love you guys. Az Dan

Easy peasy! Would be much sturdier than the collapsing aluminum ones I have. Great to see Daisy / Maisy in the background!

I really hope you do more of these Videos... it helps out casual people like myself learn ways to re-utilize leftover wood and random "knick-knacks" around the garage. ;)

While I wouldn't buy premium lumber for it, the squirrely stuff and off cuts from the deeply discounted cull pile at the big box stores would also be perfect for something like this.

I’m an almost 60 year old woman who just watched you build sawhorses and was even entertained 😆 gos to show I’ll watch anything to stay away for the news. 🙄😉

These are indispensable for everyone. Thanks for the video,

I currently have a couple of those lightweight folding plastic sawhorses, but also now have plenty of scrap lumber and such...so reckon I'm gonna make myself a pair of *real* sawhorses, thanks to your superb instructions...I swear, Dave, watching your videos is so soothing and relaxing, like...watching Bob Ross, if he did construction! Also loved seeing sweet Maisie-Daisy snoozing on the job!

Thanks!! I’ve been wanting to make a set!! Good to see Daisy there in the background!!

I always enjoy your posts, and it was nice to see sweet Maisie in the background.

Don't need a saw horse, but love to watch you work!

Thanks, Dave. Even got to see Da Woof!!

Those deck screws actually look pretty new Dave! I thought you might save those for a fancy project. 🤣🤣🤣

Excellent video my friend! Good to see the whole family on UKposts now. Can't wait to see the finished coffee shop. Hope mic is doing well! Thanks for the video!

Hi Dave, I really appreciate all your videos. I like watching your videos and I learn so much or simply get great idea's from you. Thank you.

To re-purpose and re-use is not just inexpensive, it can get downright fun to create new tools from "old trash":) Educational TV at its' absolute finest, Dave! Thanks for another installment, sir ... God Bless you and yours

Quick and dirty is great! Makes me thing about what I can do with the leftover lumber I have laying around.

Loved seeing Maisey!😊❤

Good stuff bud! Love these DIY setups, they work so well.

Dave that was an awesome video as usual, you’re a highly skilled gentleman and share your tricks with us. From one outdoorsman to another thanks again.

Great video as usual! But the best part for me was seeing Maisie/Daisy in the background!! ❤️

great lesson on making something simple by making something simple........9 years ago i bought a house and found i needed....you guessed it sawhorses. Money was short so i picked up a few pallets and took them apart and used the wood to make my "temporary" sawhorses. Still have them and they still work just fine. I have loaned them out and then had to ask for them back when one former friend decided they were to worn out to return....told that fella they were custom built to my specs and i needed them back. Thanks for the fun video!

Nice video Dave I enjoy watching all of yours I bet you are great at reading bedtime stories your voice is really nice and comforting also it was nice to see Daisy Maisy out there with you and your style of video is sort of like a safe port in a storm You can always count on you being you thanks

Just a great video about a timeless tool and how to make them. Thanks!

You amaze me with the things that you can build and just out of the blue. I mean you know how to do it so easily. Kudos

Radical is the only way to be !!! Great job !!!

Another useful tool in this same category is a sawbuck, kind of like a sawhorse but for cutting firewood lengths from a log. Thanks for the great video !

Thanks for the sawhourse video I have done my about the same way lots of memories in this vido.

Love learning from you and Brooke. Blessings to you both!

Dave we miss your long form content!

Thanks again Dave! Great advice and super simple build for the average do-it-yourselfer!

Thanks Dave- this will be my project next weekend! Keep up the relatable content. Van

Nice and easy! Great tutorial! I have a pair of saw horses given to me by my 100 year old neighbor and I use them for sooo many small furnature painting projects! Invaluable! Love your video as always!

good to see you again Dave! sure hope to see you a lot more in the near future!

Good job I always look forward to your videos.

What a great little project, playing with scrap wood! Perfect!

Hi Dave 🤗 Nice saw horses 👍 Take care 🙏🇺🇲

Good job, hi Massy in the background 😊

Always great watching your videos Dave learn so much

Perfect !!! Now I can build a nice set of sawhorses. Thank you Dave 😊

Dang, you've inspired my next project. This will help my current main project more easy peasy. Keep your channel growing with handy tips for this Flying-By-The-Seat-Of-My-Pants Human.

I plan on rewatching this again to construct me a pair.

Hi Daisy! Take care Dave

Another delightful dose of radicalness. Simple and sweet and always kinda neat. I just love when you do a video like this, and I have heaps of reclaimed timber to go play with. Many thanks. David in the UK.

Dave, you are awesome in your building abilities!

Love this video, Dave! I happen to need a set right now, so thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I wish my life could be this simple. But I'm stuck trying to learn some skills I'd need out on a homestead, trying to get rid of some debts I have from stupid mistakes, and trying to take care of some family who need some help for the time being.

Great idea, thanks for the demo.

awesome work!!! cant wait to see that new land take shape more!!!

Just awesome Dave ! you the man

Maisy Daisy 🐶 in the background 😍thanks so much for your relaxing videos! You are such a likeable guy!

Dave you have one of the best channels. I always feel like I’m back up north everyone I watch them. I can just tell your a cool guy.

Down is Australia here. Just last week I built 4 I beam style saw horses 4 1/2 foot long and about the same height. I hate store bought as they are never wide or tall enough and cost a small fortune for slash pine and soft steel. I used true 4x2 B and C grade cypress pine studs that I got for a steal from the local rubbish tip (Some builder threw them on the heap). The boys at the workshop and house site loved them and I am making some more up, the apprentice even took his eyes of his phone for 5 mins to look over them though his eyes glazed over when I explained how to make them :)

Haha 'measure carefully '!😂 You're the Chef JP of the woods 😊

Good to see you Dave. Nice work.

It does my heart good to see Daisey in the back round XOXOXOXO

Yep. I've got mmmm I have to stop and count. I guess four sets of "sawhorses." Mostly Tables, Workbenches, storage shelves, Yea, Like that. I don't usually use sawhorses like most people use sawhorses. But there they are: Everyday. Kind of like you. I always enjoy your demo and narrative. Thank you David! Just great. And course that wonderful table saw. Oh yea. Thanks again. ~.〰👍〰. ~~~. Steve here in New Hampshrie.

You make anything fun to watch and learn.

Another handy tip, thanks Dave!

15 degree for all your cuts and put the legs at a 15° bevelled it works for me. Keep up the great work 😀🇨🇦

Awesome! You are so right about the insane cost of buying them ready made!

Interesting as always! Can’t wait to see you guys with Jim Baird!!!

The bevel on the top you want is 13°, cut that same bevel along with the 13° angle you put on each end of the legs. It eliminates the lip from the legs on top, keeps them flush with the top and keeps the bottoms in full contact with the ground. These are the basic saw horses that every union carpenter learns in school and get built or used on almost every job site. I'm a contractor in Alaska, I've got a few sets in the back yard and build a set or three anytime I'm doing any remote or bush work that usually get broken up and burned when we are done. I've built countless sets by now.

Dude, I love that you rock a Canadian flag on your hat. Thanks for representing. We love you up here. Great video as always

Excellent tutorial. Add life by soaking the feet in sump oil for a couple of hours. And give the saw horses a good paint with sump oil. They last out undercover for years.

Awesome How-To. You explain everything so well. Good Job!

Cool ! Always need those saw horses! I’ve built plenty ! Thanks for sharing Dave !

I built a pair of sawhorses as the first step of building my first house. I’ll soon be using them to build my 5th house!

What ever is Handy! Love your channel. TY

👍 Awesome still got my set from 15 years ago. And an old retired carpenter friend gave me a set of galvanized, fold up type. They store nice but the top 2x4 needs replacing. Later. 😮

Good job Dave . love your videos.

Nice straight forward job & video again Dave.. 👍🏻

Me knowing damn well how to make a good set of saw horses 😂 thanks Dave, even the most boiler plate topics can make good content when done right.

I haven’t watched this but I already love it. I have been wanting to get these/make them for some projects.
