DIY Chainsaw stand

[pgkevet]

I'm working my way through the mount of stuff left here and most of the simple to split rings have been used. What's left is a pile of assorted diameter and length branches..everything from 4-6/7 inches and a mount of irregular rings with branch stubs and the like.

 

A simple v-type stand should do for the branches - but I'd appreciate pics if you have them.. but what about the lumps that won't split and need cutting? Anyone got a 'chunk holder' type stand? Cross-over tripod?

something like this? 55 quid on fleacebay..(free delivery too)

one handed and easy to use.

 

as for the larger stuff that wont split, just slice and dice with the saw:thumbup1:

I have one similar to that shown by Log suplier,good tool.

I have a portek log master. It's great. I put my 660 with 20" bar on and set it right out. If you can lift it on it will cut it!

 

I can't fault it, it saves time and also saves your back and saw chains!

pjkevet, may be worth considering a pto splitter to go on your new tractor?

That would sort most of the rings. And save your back for other jobs.

I prefer saw horses where you dont have to move the log for each cut. Saves loads of work.

I use one of these when at my dad's. Put 9 m2 of birch through one in an easy day with a really crap saw.

After my post i looked around at the offeri9ngs and today I scrounged some tomber found lying aroudn the place and made myself a sawhorse...yet to be tested but simple enough in theory... two crosses at the right working height but enough upstand to take about 3 to 4 branches and supported from the sides of the lower legs with enough space to cut between the crosses as well as off the end overhangs...best of all it was free.

I'll get to use it tomorrow hopefully.
