How do you secure firewood for chopping?

Anybody built anything like this?
I was thinking of making something similar but with the base of a half a pallet (which might save a bit of manual handling after they have been cut).

Yes,..knocked them up on site just driving poles in the ground. Works quite well.

I cobbled something similar together many years ago out of scrap timber - needs replacing really now. The one in the pic above looks too tall (unstable.). Also, worth considering making it big enough for a barrow to slip in underneath - cut, drop, move with minimal picking up. 
 

I can get about a dumpy bag full in one go if I stack him right up!

It was quite clearly tongue in cheek, I didn't realise how sensitive you were. I apologise I made you feel the way you do.

He’s ‘done’ you there @trigger_andy!

 

Even for occasional home user chainsaw tasks, find a reliable local training provider and do the maintenance & crosscutting course (whatever it’s called these days.) 

 

It’ll be money well spent and easily recouped through future (proper) home maintenance and efficiencies in cutting technique. It may even save you from serious harm.

Heres the saw horse i made and use can be wheeled around to where the wood is.

Not a good idea to use one made of metal !
