Low Japanese Sawhorses Lessons learned from shoddy work that results in real function 2026-07-02T22:01:52-07:00 null false

Abstract / Chapters / Sections idk

  • greet
  • problem of trying to work more 'free'
  • looking to the bench hooks for crosscuts but in need of rip cut ability
    • clamping works but requires multiple
    • enter the low japanese saw horses at this point
  • rationale for the materials
  • cutting up the pieces and processesing
    • worth mentioning the lax nature of this build
  • functional stopping point and closing thoughts
    • including the part where we talk about taking the project a bit further

verbal script notes

  • V: stands for voice over
  • S: Describes the scene
  • E: Gives extra details about transitions effects and other extras we may need

Script

--

  • V: hi i'm temper, and I make stuff
  • S: Introduction from inside main house (vrc)
  • E: house should have a framed picture of the thing we are building

--

  • V: sometimes the stuff I make is made out of wood which requires sawing
  • S: minor change here because we're going to swap angles to something where we can actually see the framed pic we were mentioning earlier

--

  • V: And as a handtool wood worker there are two main types of sawing that I do... crosscutting, and rip sawing. Firstly crosscutting which can be easily done but using a pair of bench hooks to easily cut across the grain
  • S: First we'll show off some random b-roll of cross cutting, before the scene change
  • E: tiny text joke about being a weekend warrior or something, to drive home the non-professional easier going vibe

--

  • V: And secondly rip cutting which is... a bit more tricky as it requires some kind of clamp to setup before doing the cut
  • S: b-roll of setting up the clamp before continuing on into the ripcut b-roll.

--

  • V: Luckily for the few times where a rip cut is necessary, particularly on smaller stock the low japanese sawhorse is a reasonable option which also packs away, doesn't eat into my bench and allows me to work freely; a style of working that I've come enjoy more and more when ever possible due to being able to manipulate the piece so easily and for the dead-simple workholding setups
  • S: sliding b-roll of the saw horses, nothing too fancy
  • E: during the mention of working freely we should fade in a note to the 'working free' stuff which is a big driver for this mentality going forward.

--

  • V: Also, these are super easy to build and get started using so let's have a gander at the plan. Materials consist of some random 2x8 cedar that I had laying around. my stuff is from house depot which actually cleans up really nicely after some planing and finish is applied, plus its super cheap
  • S: showing some plans in the back starting with the materials list
  • E: house depot meme. and material bullet point list with pics of the items as they are mentioned

--

  • V: It probably goes without saying that if you want to use some other type of lumber then ofc you can but I would personally stick with at least "2 by" material so that it can withstand a bit of abuse. Remember that these go on the floor and will have to stand up to a bit jostling around.
  • S: Back to the shop/room scene where we're mostly just standing around
  • E: some kind of fade in to this scene or just a jump cut but definitely we want to turn into the camera without the green screen when doing this kind of aside content stuff.
