sawhorse wanna buy a sawhorse but have some questions

[miranda]

hello. now i'm trying to get a new sawhorse and just collected some questions here.  Hope someone could help

1. How to reduce the vibration when cutting?
2. How to increase the stability of the bottom bracket design?
3. As the process of cutting wood will have a greater external force, the bottom support may have broken, how to solve the situation?
4. Saw teeth are made of soft steel, bite the wood and then pull out easily bent, is there a better way to solve the problem?

I dont like the above design at all having tried one.

 

 

I made a simple folding wooden one from USA type pallets:

 

 

 

Which is loads better, its a bit like this one below

 

 

Ditch the thing in pic would be my advice and get or make a decent one instead.

 

 

 

 

AI bot?

Agree.....its the quality of that, that's the issue. Not necessarily the design

Reads like it, also picture is far too pretty to be here

Not English as a first language that's for sure.

Buy a good one. A timbercroc is what you need. Brilliant bit of kit..

These work very well.

Would be even better if the jaws were curved instead of straight (as I can't help noticing that tree branches and boles are usually roundish in section and rarely grow as flat planks), and if it was made from decent quality steel instead of bendy Chinese monkey metal, but the basic idea is sound. 

One day when I'm at a loose end I'll fabricate my own improved shed version. 

Hope that helps, Russian bot person.

That Timbercroc looks cool but I find the traditional type better to use as  chucking a single or normally multiple logs on top is for me alot faster than being limited to clamping each log one at a time.

 

 

 

Or if lots of wood and  it doesn't need to be mobile just stick two rows of  posts in the ground or make some frame like this:

 

 

Oregon do a smaller mobile version of this design that looks ok ....though not keen on it being metal

What happens with those when you get to the last cut? Doesn't look like there's a chain to tie the logs down. Don't they kick around when the weight's gone?

[Stere]

Yeah that can happen theres  knack to it not happening - using the dawgs and blipping the throttle in a certain way etc.

 

 

 

Ive found it  only normally sometimes an issue with smaller diameter logs under 4inch.

 

A narrow kerf chain and rakers not to agressive makes a less grabby chain & makes a big difference.

 

Or just  stick a bigger log on top of all the smaller ones.
