$20 Sturdy Folding 2x4 Saw Horses

hey youtube welcome back to grog shop science so let's say the last pair of the palette software's that I made just weren't quite strong enough for you guys and you use them a little bit sturdier for heavier heavier projects well today I'm gonna show you how to make these extremely sturdy holding 200-plus pounds of weight right here all for under 20 bucks ok guys here's what you're going to need for this build five two by fours three 1 by 4 by 6 foot long and four bolts I went with 4 inch long as we're only this long if it goes through two two by fours and still have your nut stuff on it you're good ok so the next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna cut me on the two by fours we're going to cut four of them so that we have eight forty inch long pieces and then immediately after that or it is we're gonna kind of 20 inch bevel across on East Side where make sure they're parallel so we're gonna cut to 20 degree minors on each side the other two by four were stacked up to thirty six inch long points the final thing we're gonna do is we're gonna top our car one by fours I cut mine down in three different sizes and in a twenty seven and a half twenty eight twenty okay guys other guerrilla champions really windy out and this wife you ticked off back here at their honkin mi boards video when I said earlier got a 20 degree angle 20 degree angle on each side they're parallel so they're going in the same same way next stuff to do is let's we're a mark or knockout we're a kind of shape on one side of each one you cut that's going to be shapes is very similar about a 2x4 so grab yourself your speed square grab yourself of a pan or something a tape measure now let me show you how to measure this out to cut this out hey guys once again sorry for the wind noise so we're gonna do is we're gonna take our speed square the first thing we do is just get put even tricky even on this on the edge we're gonna mark three inches down so what we're looking at I don't know if you can see it but there's a 20 right here it's gonna be farther down maybe out of the shot I can't quite tell if it's gonna be how the shot or not it's gonna be farther down I'm gonna rotate the rotate the t-square pivoting about up here until that 20 lines up are out the edge that's gonna give me a 20 degree edge right here as you can see that's that's pretty much even with my edge that I cut right there and so I'm gonna come down I'm gonna go to my 20 degree angle I'm gonna go wrap parts on that three right there there it is okay now I'm just gonna draw a line now the next thing I want to do is I'm gonna go back to the exact opposite side and put it right here and I'm gonna mark that line right at one and a half that's the cut out of a two by four so there's my 1/2 I come up here because this is all right 20 degrees I'm gonna have it even hard on that edge bring it over to the one-and-a-half draw a line straight down okay there's my cut out line so I'm gonna cut that notch out in addition to this I'm gonna go down I'm gonna put my speed square hard hard edge up against that and then I'm gonna go down to about six and a sixteenth now my square is only measured in eighth inch increments so I'm just gonna go to the halfway point between the 6 and the the eighth but I draw a little line right there also going to put this a 20 degree line right here through this yeah there's my 20 degree line I'm put my t-square flat up against here I'm gonna go until the 1 and 3/4 crosses that line okay that is right there that's where it crossed so this is the halfway point of the board and it's one in thirds it's three and a sixteenth down from this for the power to measure from this line to this to this point here this line here to this point it's three and a sixteenth and this point is in the halfway point of the two by four so go ahead mark this put your point there and what I'm gonna do is I'm just going to cut out on one I'm gonna drill a hole in one and I'm gonna match drill and cut out match drill the hole on the red stuff so let's get to it [Music] can all of our cutouts complete next thing we're going to take two boards flippin with cut-up cutouts on the same side but opposite your typical bolster or enter that on all four sets and they get back to attaching the one by force of the face [Music] okay final steps we're attached or one by force to the board you want to attach the board to the same 2x4 that's facing direction so this has a notch here this one you need to [Music] [Music] [Music] two by four so I'm gonna screw down [Music] okay there we have it the very final thing I'm gonna do which you don't really have to is on the drill hole right in the middle on the bottom side of the middle now I [Music] exact same thing [Music] [Music] so hear him I got both songs I know too much I'll show you one but both oh my - 36 inch ports I also have these really people stretchy bungee like things that wall the one it does really matter whether you use these are a regular bookie but you'll want you some of these specially how these things work [Music] extremely springy I'm just gonna open it till you have that's optional horse [Music] to get the milk and I'm gonna take what my fuzzies sticking through this pilot [Music] so let's take a look at the better ones show you how strong the arches odds are you'll do a better job cutting you can pick it up by this you get your touch just right really poor job cutting so it has a little bit of flex side to side but overall not bad and it is extremely strong so thanks for watching if you guys like this video hit the like button already subscribe button look out for the future projects thanks
