[DaninVan]

Hey; our Guild Pres. and his neighbour just put out another short YouTube vid., this time on making a pair of well thought out sawhorses.

I like the way they store...would work for my shop.

Well made video, too...

That was the first thing required on the job was send the new hire over to the lumber pile and make a pair of sawhorses. Several times the guy was sent back to the Hall with a request for a different carpenter. I seen some really wild horses sometmes.

My first job on a job site as a new guy was to make a set of saw horses that fit my bosses height. He was over 64. and he wanted a set exactly a certain height.
Plus he wanted a 2x4 attached to the top rail of the saw horse to allow cutting on it with out hitting a nail.
I had a 16 ounce framing hammer. Brand new.
I got one horse made and was nailing the top piece of 2x4 to the top of the second saw horse.. I was driving 16 penny nails when I happened to notice a spot on my left index finger..
He later ask me if that spot on the 2x4 was paint or blood.
I had taken a full swing dead on the top of my finger nail.
Blood spurted all over the board.
I walked off behind the parked trucks until the pain abated a bit.
I got a pair of work gloves out of my truck to hide the injury and never told anyone what I had done.

Zipped lip...good decision.

Tony, the guy that made the horses in the vid is doing everything on his phone; I mean shooting, editing, uploading to YouTube, the whole shooting match. He and Dan H. are doing a heck of a job producing stuff for our monthly not-in-person Guild meetings.
If anyone out there is having the same issue, trying to maintain a connection with their woodworking clubs' members, perhaps this concept might be of some interest to you/them. In our case up here it may well be a game saver in stopping attrition of membership.
(His storage and cataloguing of small stock items is pretty impressive as well. )

I agree, a fantastic video and very well done on his part too. The part about sorting and cataloging didn't miss my eye either, wow, I could use some of that skill, I just reordered some hardware that i needed to finish a project and today found the reorder I did a month ago. Now I have plenty to put some in a jar.

Over my career that happened more than once, and with a 32 oz. framing hammer with a corrugated face.
