pretty much the same as regular saw horses, you will need a shim here and there. You also could cut out the bottom that you end up with four points instead of a full edge touching the ground

Excellent idea. I've actually got the plastic Stanley saw-horses, as well as a few workmates, and the Tough Build foldable saw-horses. However, I tend to use the workmates for heavy-duty thumping jobs, and the plastic Stanleys when I have to travel to the job. Your plywood version is the easiest DIY solution I've seen to date. Definitely worth a go. Thanks for sharing.

My dad, always a creative person, once made a three-legged saw horse - as the site where he was working (a new-build shop he was fitting out) had such an uneven unscreeded-concrete floor. The single-leg end went straight out, 90 degrees to the two legs at the other end. It was made using glued and pinned joinery rather than metal brackets. Was genius TBH. No wobble.

one thing is that if you notch the bottom so that the 4 corners are say 1/4 longer then the bench will rest on those 4 corners only. as a result you will find the bench will be self leveling. even if the floor is very uneven.

Eight and a half years wearing an Army uniform, didn't do any favors to my back, and working at those levels, where I am having to bend over a lot, doesn't do my back any favors.

@meatballsalad Exactly my point. I've seen an endless number of "perfect sawhorse" videos, and ALL of them presuppose the work will be done on smooth and level concrete. I built my sawhorses in 1996 and they are still in use today. The legs are made of 1x6 treated lumber and are angled 15 degrees out in both directions. The result is extremely stable sawhorses even on unlevel ground. And yes, they are strong. I'm over 200 pounds and I have a 100 pound scaffold platform that I often place on top of the sawhorses. The final bonus: they also work on smooth and level concrete.
@RobsCarpentryAndWoodworks

pretty much like regular sawhorses, four legs don't work well on uneven ground. Having a shim, here and there, handy is probably a good idea. you could also cut the bottom part out, so you would have 4 points at the outside instead of a continiuos edge touching the ground.

@@RobsCarpentryAndWoodworks Ummm, look, I'm not trying to be a troll or a hater. You have your sawhorses that you like and I have mine. Great. But you missed a crucial detail about mine -- the legs. The legs are NOT made from a 2x4, but a 1x6 which is MUCH more flexible. When I place them on the ground and they rock, all I have to do is give one or two legs a quick nudge and they seat themselves. And like I said, they are strong and long-lasting, and I like them. And anyway, I was really responding to meatballsalad's comment about using sawhorses on uneven ground. I wasn't attacking your sawhorses or your video. Have a great day!

A clever idea and very practical as well as being low cost to build. The only downside I see is that I imagine you need to have a smooth level floor to work on to prevent the crosses from rocking. This is something I can't always guarantee when working away from my workshop. Thanks for sharing this idea

Perhaps for the uneven floor issue consider making them a parabolic shape. A parabola fitting inside a parabola. 🤔

Nice. Innovative, I love how they pack away flat. "Saw crosses"

I like the idea, but with the price for wood nowadays, I stick to my platic stanley ones. Very light but sturdy, slim when folded and cost around 50 bucks for a pair. When you cut into them, it is still plastic.

Fair enough, it’s more an addition to regular saw horses. The price of wood isn’t coming down what it used to be, if you wait, possibly more expensive.

Yeah., I think that’s the biggest down side; cost someone else said they might not do well on uneven ground

nice. all designs have pros/cons one con of this one is it's not so easy to clamp too. could make the windows nearer to the top edge.

Thank you. I agree. I like to have these as an addition to regular saw horses in a workshop and use whatever is needed at the time

Clamping is easy if you plan ahead. The easiest thing is to drill a few holes that the clamps can hook into. It's up to you to understand how you will use them
