@threeriversforge1997 9 ай бұрын

Another option it so use 2x4's for the top and instead of notching them out like with that 4x4, you can just screw on some shorter sections to the underside that fit around the sawhorse. In effect, you're making a laminated version so you don't have to chisel out a notch, and you lesson the risk of the wood twisting and warping over time.

Go around the 4x4s once with your rope/shoelace before continuing to the other side. In other words, instead of the rope simply laying on top and pressing them down, its looped around them, so when its tightened it's pinching them together and keeping them where they are left to right, guarunteeing they wont shift side to side.

@sawdustadikt979 9 ай бұрын

When I make these sawhorses, I cut the tops and the bottoms of the legs flat, like 5-10 degrees or whatever applies. I also notch the bottom 2x4 so the leg has wobble when everything shrinks. I also pl or wood glue everything and screw it all together. If you need even more stability, using a 2x6 on the bottom spreads the legs out more and nesting a cross brace o the legs is never a bad move. An 8ft bed (also known as the appropriate size truck bed) on a truck eliminates the need to tie down small (8ft and under) lumber.

@threeriversforge1997 9 ай бұрын

The only thing I'd recommend changing would be the diameter of the rope you used. I know the parachute cord is more than strong enough, but it just looks better with a more substantial rope that you can really grab ahold of. Good to see someone else preaching the gospel of rope. I've long since gotten rid of all the ratchet straps and bungees because rope is just so much faster, easier, and more useful around the shop. As First Class Amateur often says on his channel, "rope will do what a ratchet strap does, but a ratchet strap won't do what rope does." That's a mighty big distinction when you think about it. Once you learn some basic knots, like the bowline and trucker's hitch, you'll be sold on rope.

@nicktrayer5426 10 ай бұрын

Not that the saw horses need to hold up a mack truck. But if you just add some 1x 4 or even 1x6 to the outside of those legs. It will keep those two lower screws on the bottom from getting elongated over time from all of the banging and moving around. Also i know you like the ease ability of sliding the 4x4. But widen them to just over twice as wide drill a hardwood dowell in all 4 groves and then add corresponding holes in the top of the horse say 6 in apart and then you have the option of not having to use a clamp but also have the option of making them still slidable. I know this just went from simple to a little more complicated but you never know.

@Firedog-ny3cq 10 ай бұрын

Another way to do it is to take your rope/cord over the top of your load, wrap it under your load, bring it back across the top of the load, and then fasten it on the other side of the truck bed. That way the loop around your load locks it in place because the two free ends are pulling in opposite directions when you tie them tight to the truck bed. There is no way the load can shift to either side when you go around corners.
