- Watch as I build a pair of Krenov style sawhorse for the shop. I'm using hand tools to cut all the joinery, all parts were milled on the machines.
If you want to learn more about how to build these go check out Philip's channel where he has step by step videos bit.ly/2vz4iGV

These are the best work on a sawhorse I've seen to date. Great workmanship. A real carpenter.

Wow! The slow buzz of the saw, tapping of the hammer &wood chipping by the chisels was so relaxing and tranquil my pulse & BP both dropped 10 pts. Thanks for keeping shop souns & not screwing up with horrid music or video doubles of yourself.
Man, some Krenov sawhorses have been on my list for AWHILE. I think going all hand tools on that build might be a fun challenge for me. Great work as always Andy.
+Crafted Workshop they're great sawhorses, first pair I've made and I'm really enjoying them.
Thanks so much for the shout out Andy! Awesome video! Nice touch with the scorpion at the end. :P I had a blast working with you!
+Philip Morley Furniture You bet Philip!! I enjoyed working with you as well👍

Great video. I'm from the great country of TEXAS also. Born and raised.
Pretty good hand tool skills. Love your channel.
I'm a woodworking history buff & a nit picky, hair splittin ole bastard. With that being said, that's not actually a saw horse. It either a saw buck or a timber trestle. Horses have legs, four of them. Your workbench is more of a saw horse than what you built, it holds wood an has four legs.
Great work. Love your channel.
texas is not a country its a state,do you know its part of the usa
Man, honestly, I think this is one of my favorite woodworking vids on CZcams. Thanks for posting.
It’s really cool and amazing how you can just make stuff out of wood it’s a skill that I really appreciate and would love to learn
Thank you for doing this! You sharing your knowledge and skills is very inspirational!
Another quality video, my friend. I am so proud to finally have a piece of furniture made by you in my home! Baby is due in 3 weeks, and then the rocker can get some proper use! Thanks again, and as always looking forward to future videos
+cjmaddux so good to hear...I've been thinking about you and that rocker. Glad to hear you got and I hope it serves you well!!
Wrenches to check size on the lathe is brilliant!
EXCELLENT -- both the sawhorses AND the videography! Instructive - leaves nothing to guesswork - and the video cuts and transitions are perfectly created and timed! I'm guessing you were a ASC camera guy before you were a carpenter. World Class all the way! SUBSCRIBED.
I find your videos so amazing I watched all of them in one sitting
What a solid build man, 👍🏻 really dig how functional these are.
Been meaning to do this project for goin’ on 20 years. lol quarter sawn red oak is on the way. Thanks y’all stay safe.
Your videos are so relaxing to watch
If you wanna see something not relaxing. Check out Pantera "primal concrete sledge "live in Moscow.
Nice combo video! Those are a bit nicer than my crappy plastic ones!
Wow. This brought back memories when I built about dozen of these in varying sizes 35 years ago. I only used them in our shop and they where great because they stacked tight together. I cheated though back then. I used motorized tools.
Needs saw horses.
Spends all day making saw horses.
Forgets why he needed saw horses to begin with.
Good days work.
Thanks Andy!
I liked this video Andy! Very nice display of hand tool joinery. Thank you. ^5
Cheers mate ! Nic Taylor made a nice one like that .
So glad I found this channel.
I love your video style; no endless chatter. Just doing. Two thumbs up.
I’m not sure I understand though, the virtue in doing this project by hand. You have lots of cool power tools. Isn’t time valuable too?
Nice, simple, everyday carpentry. Thank you.
They look great Andy,I enjoyed the video!!nice work!
+BCDesign thanks!
I watched as much as I could, but every aspect of this build was done the absolute hardest way possible. I can appreciate someones woodworking skills, but really there are much easier ways to do all of this.
It is a pretty sawhorse. I would have used screws in the joints.
you obviously did not watch the beginning of the video when they explained he was going to build it by hand without power tools.
Nifty little trick chopping mortises.. if you're hands shake like mine take a minute and cut a shallow groove the same width and length of the mortise first just to help keep your chisel from wandering from side to side as you get it started..
Thanks for the video.
Great Job! Hands tools💪🏼
What I like about your video is that it teaches one how to make several different types of cuts with simple tools. Wow, your wood working is amazing! Thanks.
watching this video on 1.5 speed will save you a lot of time. Also, I was hoping for an explanation as to why these are better than the pyramid shaped saw horses?
No explanation cuz they simply are not. XD
Actually, they are excellent for a wood shop but agree not good for construction sights. They sit tightly together for storage, plenty strong enough for a shop and they make the best gluing stations for panels because they are 3d. You can put clamps in any direction because so little actually sits on the "horses".
Yeah, adjustable height sawhorses with modular inserts for various functions (rollers, casters, etc) seem so much more useful... especially if you have a small shop and you can't afford to waste a lot of space.
Mortising with a regular chisel? Oh man, where are the galoots to harass this guy?
Great video collaboration. It's an amazing time in history for Makers of all kinds.
Never mind, scroll down just a bit ... they never disappoint.
This reminds me of another channel I watch: Mr. Chikadee (?sp) He uses all hand tools. No background music, no talking, works in silence... I kinda' like the quietness of it. He's also quite the master woodworker. I love through mortise and tenon joints with wedges.
Which reminds me... Samurai Carpenter. OMG! Another good channel.
Anyway, Andy... good work! I found you by watching Matt's channel (OffTheRanch) and yeah I agree, you have good content. Keep 'em comin'!
God bless.
I like that shop. Great vid.
Interesting track hurdles.
Sweet! I can see myself making several of these.
Andy, probably the dumbest spot to chop a mortise (In the vice like that). Do it on your bench over a leg preferably, you'll notice the efficiency increase right away.
Scott Gates I was taught to do it in the vise...I’ve done it both ways and I prefer the vise. Efficiency comes from a properly sharpened chisel and good technique not where you place your workpiece on the bench
No worries, old habits die hard I guess. Could see the wood move when you were chopping. Obviously sharp tools are priority but when your work piece is moving on each strike that’s just simple loss of energy from the mallet/chisel which should be going into the work piece.
I live in Sweden where they do not have sawhorses. Here they call them sågbock, which translates as "sawgoat". I kid you not!
Alan George Barstow similar in hungary. And guess what? Only male goats hahaha! Funny thing is sounds pretty similar (i think the word has Germanic origin: Bak
Same in German. "SägeBOCK". Which is the male form of a sheep or a goat. :-)
Haha in the netherlands they say zaagbok :)
In Poland it's kobylka which means "a mare" (female horse), but additionally it's in diminutive form :)
Great work guys.
What is the purpose of the flip over top rail?
It's sacrificial and can be turned over.
There is no such thing as best saw horses :-)
Nice video dough.
Good luck
They look top heavy to me. What happens when you pull a board off from the front? Does it want to tip?
A lot of "not sturdy enough for the construction site" comments here. They are light weight supports and if you see James Krenov's delicate work they are just perfect. I have some with a rotating roller on one face as an out-feed stand. In a small cabinet makers shop they are the best. As soon as you see Krenov you should think of a smaller, refined tool.
2:02 is where the actual video starts. You are welcome!
Wow! Nobody would have ever discovered that. Brilliant!
Dagem Sinke thanks man, I would of just moved on.
Dagem Sinke Thanks, seriously guys - the unnecessary waffle spoils an excellent build video
Garret f
Another great video as always Andy! I may be looking to do a commission piece soon, so keep an eye out!
That's a sweet set of horses.
Loves the videos man! Keep it up!
Love the two different socks on the guy on the left!
From the comments I have read about the Krenov style sawhorses, it seem like some people are missing the point. These horses are not designed to support a ton of sheetrock but instead are great in a custom furniture shop. I was introduced to them at Santa Fe Community College's fine woodworking program. They probably have 20 plus pair for the students to use and I never saw a broken one. How much real estate would it take to store 20 pair of traditional horses? I have made four pair myself plus I have two pair of traditional horses; the Krenov style is what I prefer to use. Tell me what weight would be reasonable in a custom furniture shop, I will try to load mine to that amount and will post the picture if they fail.
Totally agree these nay sayers have not read the "Krenov" reference in the description. Its like they would scoff and say a nail gun is the only fixing device and the sledge is the only hammer you need. Horses for courses, not all of us build houses.
+Ben Blackwell
They are lightweight, Easy to transport and offer support on small projects. There are many different options when it comes to saw horses.
You would swear everybody here was doing green oak carpentry and needed it for a whole tree.
Great skills and a great video but way more effort than I would want to put into a saw horse, just a personal opinion.
They are great iff you got nothing else to do but there are better video s with stronger ones that are built in a second
Should get your self a set of "mortising chisels! :) I used to do them with cabinetmakers flat chisels like this 30 years ago . then invested in mortising chisels and never looked back. takes half the time square shoulders are a snap with a chisel that is meant to be hit with a mallet, and tapered for deep removal of cross grain material. I also prefer medium sized round head brass chisel mallets or shop made hardwood ones.
Nice job , I do find the direction of your chisels while chopping the mortize interesting, complete opposite to my training.
I guess what ever gets er done.
Did not see you cut the tenons for the wedges, did you drill a small hole at the bottom of the V to reduce stress and avoid splitting down the grain later on?
Cheers, Dan
On a construction site, these would perform like a rocking horse.
Nicely done!
I admire your tools; original marples, eclipse coping saw, but have a much simpler and compact saw horse design.
You are the man brother!!!!!
Well done, just right for shop
Красивая работа! Спасибо!
These are technically trestles, also built to that height - more for holding stuff than sawing. I use a similar design with a half I-beam design instead of interchangeable top. They are surprisingly NOT flimsy, as opposed to many examples of overbuilding their horses/trestles on CZcams. I think they are trying to hold up an entire deck. You just want something light and stable in most cases.
Well, God damn, boys! With the amount of work and time you put in to putting together a simple saw horse, they better darned well be the BEST!! Just sayin' -- those are nice, but WOW, what a lot of effort!
Never heard of you before today, cool build. CZcams filter on different makers suck as in the 3 years I've been viewing it your channel has not appeared, oh well here now 👍
hi Andy, although the Fine Woodworking plans don't call for it, were you tempted to dowel or peg the mortise and tenon joint between the upright foot? I know a good fit plus titebond is absolutely enough, especially because the stress on that joint is always working "with it" (downwards/closing) but the joint seems kind of naked to me without a drawbore? thank you!
Best youtuber
Buenísimo! ! 👍
How is the pen attached to his shirt? Shirt looks to new to have a hole, unless he put it there on purpose. A magnet would be uncomfortable. Using a wrench as a go-nogo gauge was genius.
I don't know if you've addressed this, but how long have you been woodworking? I just started as a hobby about a year ago and get kind of discouraged because nothing comes out exactly the way I want it to.
Savannah Flesher give it more time, since it's only been a year. It's some time, but you'd need more. I'm taking a construction class in HS rn and it's somewhat similar to this and I'm pretty bad. But I'm gonna have it till I graduate and I reckon by that time, I'd be half decent.
If you want to get good at woodworking then start with the basics. Cut and practice joints every day. Practice will make you good.
People get too focused on projects instead of focusing on technique. I can guarantee if you practice cutting dovetails and tenons every day you will be an expert in about a year and a master in two years.
Get a small japanese saw and learn to cut small joints at first and then scale them up as you get more confident. Everything you do try and use hand tools.
I would even suggest planing wood up by hand to get it square. Anybody can actually use an electric saw.
Nice work nut it looks flimsy for a sawhorse.
Very nice.
You cleaned up the cheeks of the tenon with a block plane, but I'm wondering, wouldn't a hand router be more accurate?
They are trestles, not sawhorses.
Sawhorses are much lower with a flat top so you can place a knee on top of the horse to hold your work while sawing it..
I Love Vids where people dont talk. Who agrees with me?
DutchMischa just as i like people who dont talk when they are working :)
I would answer your question but I am trying not to talk
I love videos where the title of the video actually applies. These saw horses are jokes for stability.
I also love when is not a 15 part series on making saw horses or sharpening you pencil.
Love them, every Woodworker / Carpenter needs a few sets of those. Great Job‼️👍👍 Vinny 🇺🇸
Very good! Thank you.
Your videos are amazing and so are the pieces u make . What is the name of the piece at 3:25 that you hammer into the bench as a clamp of sorts .
Awesome work, Andy! 😃
I'm going to make some as well!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great for lightweight materials and practicing joinery, but bad design for heavier construction materials. The glued M+T joints work well to control racking in-plane, but 90 degree loading relies entirely on the M+T at the base. Splayed legs like the British "single bevel trestle" are better for heavier loads.
Nice video but it's a saw horse, not an Eames chair. Let's see how it holds up when you're sliding one of those long boards across the top. Tippy?
Some sawhorses only need to offer light support. Others are used for cutting and shaping whole trees. It all depends.
Nice,
Next time can you made a wooden sword ? Because it will be fun if there was a thing to play 👍
I think they use these on track and fields for runners to jump over.
nicely done.
Is he dutch in any way?
Many of the commenters on here remind me why I lost faith in humanity. Let me shit on the hard work of this guy with negative comments that prove my ignorance. If he can chop a nice mortise with a fork, what the hell do you care? I'd love to see your mortises, oh wait, you never actually made one? Oh these wouldn't stand up on a construction site. Does this furniture shop look like a construction site? Idiots. Go make your own video.
You seem to be really at piece when you do woodworking
What species of wood did you make that out of?
Pretty nice!!!!
looks like poplar
What was that he dropped at 13:00
Lucas Murphy idk, i think it is cockroach
scorpion i believe
Scorpion, I think.
Joshua Bailey i dont think it is a scorpian because its to small
Scorpion
Where can you find this type of hardwood? I’ve looked at a couple different local sawmills and have been turned away and also home depo/Lowe’s no luck
hey man! great shop. how much sqr footage is it??
Technically these are Trestles
yeah I was like "Wtf" when I saw these. Can't apply pressure to one end, can't clamp work down to it, not as useful as sawhorses when it comes to being a sawhorse...
@@rocifier yup
Good job
Wow, that’s a lot of work for a saw horse.
even the dog was yawning
What is the tool used around 5:25 and what is it used for? Is it just for smoothing and edging surfaces?
block plane
Greg Pamachena That's a plane... He uses it like every video
He is using a rabbeting block plane. It can be use as a regular block plane but it also allows you to get closer into corners and such
+Greg Pamachena that's a rabbet block plane. It's great for sizing the tenons to the mortise. I can get a perfect fit with this tool. There's a link in my description to where you can buy it.
What kind of dust collector do you use
Your attention to detail is fantastic, but around the 13:00 mark they wobble back and forth as you load them, so not very sturdy.
NICE FURNITURE FOR A HEATED SHOP---TOTALLY IMPRACTICAL FOR THE REAL JOB SITES THAT CREATE THE SHOP
Nice job god bless
How soon will it be delivered
What brand of hand chisel do you use please and thank you
Richard Short The Blue Handle chisels look like Marples
How did you do the cut on the feet. Did I miss a step
You refer to Philip's channel al lot but you don't give us a link? If I search for Philip I can't find him, help him out and give us a link.
+Mick Jongejan there's a card at the beginning of the video and a link in the description
Nice workmanship. I had to quit watching early since I needed to build a sawhorse in 10 minutes. Will revisit though when I need a permanent one. Good job though.
Where are you located? I saw the Texas flag hanging.
o: How do you attach the pencil on to your t-shirt?
Attila Szabo with a wedged through mortise and tenon
can you make a tutorial video making a long board press
Nice but wouldn't last on construction jobs. I saw the lateral movement when you put first board on. But nice homeowner horses. And superb job making them.
+Peter Ford you're right these definitely are not designed for the job site although I bet they're stronger than most job site made horses, at least the ones I've seen made. They serve the shop best.
Andy Rawls Sure nuff. The workmanship is great, using all joints for fasten. Been a carpenter for 35 years, have built furniture for our home and some stuff for others, but started out with cedar home building, but with nails and fasteners, haha. Built furniture using some mortice and tendons, and the old school ways, but not patient enough to not use a screw here and there. We built our own horses, but with 2x4s and even 2x6s, cause we used them for scaffold support etc. Had to be strong and maintenance free.
Your works great. Keep it up.
Peter Ford.
Your right I can't see them standing up on regular job work. As a custom cabinet maker I do a lot of on site work that requires me to set up quick work tables and catch table for my portable table saw. What works for me are 36" tall aluminum saw horses. At 99.00 each and can take a lot of abuse. I kick out 2 horses and top it with a 4x8 sheet of plywood It's perfect height for ripping sheets on the table saw, assembly and work table. My sheet has cut outs for my router to drop in, clamping and hold down setups etc.... I've been using this set up for 10+ years and the horses haven't given up yet.
