Hello, fellow LJs!
This is my first project post, but I’ve been admiring your various posts for the past year or so.
I’m excited to post these Shopdogs built from woodshopdude’s plans. It was much more of a challenge than I expected when I first saw the photos, but it was nonetheless a very enjoyable process. Thanks for looking!
I added a picture of the saw horses folded up.

I’m in desperate need of a couple new saw horses. How are they for sturdiness? Looks like the more weight you put on them the better they probably are?

They are absolutely rock solid. Workshopdude sells a strap to connect to lower stretchers when the horses are open, but I’m not sure it’s even necessary. I may add a 3/4 dowel vertically to each lower stretcher and connect them that way when open. We’ll see how it plays out.
Thanks!

For those of you not familiar with the plan, I should have mentioned that they are collapsible. Otherwise, they would just be a few 2×4s slapped together. :)

Good looking set of sawhorses. I am seriously contemplating the plan purchase now after seeing his webpage and video. I can think of about a half dozen uses for these guys. A few of which I am using some crappy plastic ones for right now.
Thanks a lot for Posting. A good useful first project.

Your shopdogs look great I put together a pair of them a couple of weeks ago I made pipe clamp holders for mine huge improvement over trying to clamp on my bench top. I used bungee cords to keep mine from spreading.

Pipe clamps for them… That’s a pretty awesome idea. I’d like to see a picture of that!
I’ll try the bungee cord idea, thanks.

Not even a little bit. It could be the tightness of the bolt/nut though, time will tell.
