Method for getting consistent lengths when hand cutting logs?

Cable tie on the handle on the flywheel side. Cut to length so the distance from the cut end of the cable tie to the bar is 10 inch, perfect for my stove.

Bolt a piece of threaded bar through the round circular hole that you can punch out on the end of many guidebars ( or just drill one out) then adjust the length of the bar to the size you want, then lock it off. 

I know I’m on high danger alert due to my accident (see thread To all stump grinder operators)…

But, might be best to fix the threaded rod so it’s going to the right, away from you, as opposed to being pointing left across your body. 
My reason being if you get a bad saw kickback, assuming you are correctly positioned with the saw and it goes past your head safely, you will however get a face full of threaded rod.

Good point, steel rod in the face might not be as bad as the chain but still going to ruin your day.

You say you are hand sawing, so maybe i misread, but a lot of suggestings if you are using a chainsaw....but that doesnt seem to be the case, being hand sawing.

 

If you are using a hand saw, then in the past i have used one of those pen like telescopic magnetic pick up tools. Pull it out to the required length, then put some tape around that section so it doesnt go back in, and the attach the magnetic end to the hand saw 'blade' start cutting and simple remove the pick up tool to allow u to cut through the full cut. Then repeat for the next cut

The idea is the same, a stick to one side of the saw?
