Not 'few £s' but a good investment:

 

Joce Metal t/a The Irony O'it - Buckingham Woodstation

 

The current versions are better than in the video and can be tailormade for your chosen log length.

I was inspired by the oregon saw horse review and the replies that were posted. so I grabbed a couple of old gate posts and some fence rails and made my own.

It's plenty big enough and will take a 6' x 12" log (or multiple smaller ones) and has made producing my own firewood much easier.

Thinking of getting a Buckingham woodstation. What's best chainsaw to use and what length of bar is the most suitable to use with this type of sawhorse?

I'm using a 20" bar on my 064. That's about the maximum; any more and you risk hitting the rear framework. The station will work best with all of an 18" bar; 16" just isn't quite enough if you load it right up (the depth of stacked wood increases towards the top).

 

Think carefully about what log size or sizes you want to produce as Laurie - the maker - will ask; he makes them to order, he doesn't have a barn of them ready and waiting.

I say 'sizes' as, for example, it's easy to cut both 12" and 8" logs using 12" spacings of the uprights. You need to have your wits about you re the maths but it works.

 

Any more q's please ask. I'm cutting all of my firewood using one now, usually hung on the tailgate of the pickup as per the bottom of page 1 here...
