Supplies Checklist:

  • 3 8′ 2″x4″ Boards
  • 2½” Screws
  • Drill (you can use a screwdriver, but it’ll take longer :) )
  • Table Saw (hack saw, or whatever you’re comfortable cutting with)
  • Tape Measure
  • Speed Square
  • Pencil

Step-By-Step Tutorial:

  • DIY Sawhorse Gather the supplies above.
  • DIY Saw Horse For the first 2″x4″ you’ll need to cut the 8′ piece in half so you have two 4′ pieces.
  • DIY Sawhorse Using the tape measure on the next 2″x4″, make a mark at 3′…
  • DIY Saw Horse …and make a mark at 6′. You’ll also need another 3′ from the last 2″x4″.
  • How To Make A Sawhorse Cut the 3′ pieces. You’ll need to have 4 total. Also cut two 2′ pieces as well from the last 2″x4″.
  • How To Make A Sawhorse Put the two 4′ pieces together like so.
  • How To Make A Saw Horse Then screw them together.
  • DIY Sawhorse Next take one of the 3′ pieces and screw it to the 4′ pieces you just screwed together at an angel, like this.
  • DIY Saw Horse Continue doing this for the other 3′ pieces. We found that it worked best to do one side, then stand it up and do the other end standing up with someone holding it up. This prevented it from being wobbly and kept the legs even.
  • How To Make A Sawhorse Keep going until you have all 4 legs on.
  • How To Make A Saw Horse To make it a little more sturdy, add a brace (the 2′ pieces) on the bottom of both ends.
  • DIY Sawhorse Attach the brace to the other side as well and you’re done!
  • DIY Saw Horse When you’re done, enjoy! :) Thanks to my hubby for helping me out with this one. He had the idea and this is him enjoying his hard work. :)
