Thanks, but I assure you, there’s some showing off going on.

 

I eschew logging for clients for the most part, I always say, “if it can go in the chipper, it goes in the chipper” but these peeps were in my village and it was easy enough.

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

Love that idea. Sometimes the simplest are the best!

Also, worth considering making it big enough for a barrow to slip in underneath - cut, drop, move with minimal picking up. 

I was thinking of having the base as a pallet so that it was portable, lift-able (and maybe tip-able).

But also along similar lines as yourself with the cut logs falling into something below to save handling again. I was thinking a dumpy bag below, but not sure how I would have it that the pallet was strong enough to lift on pallet forks but with a hole in it big enough for the logs to fall through.

I have seen these so that they mount onto the back of a pickup and pivot at the base  so they just tip strait in .
