I've got one of those, but without the moveable bits.....yet.

Every day's a school day. Thanks Maria.

 

I'll try and do a video !!

Buy a Superjaws from Toolstation £80. Buy the log jaws £20 odd and you will never look back.

 

Videos online on YouTube and no I'm not affiliated with the company, I just bought one, awesome dude.

Normally gets thrown in an old tyre and gets a foot on one end of it. If its bigger than that it goes thru the vertical tractor splitter.

Forgot to say, for the worst gnarly stuff I place it on the ground and cut to within 2-3 inches of the soil, making several cuts to get narrow (3-4 inch wide) disks then turn it over and insert saw into the cuts, cutting upwards to avoid contact with the ground.

Just to update -

 

I found a bit of scrap plywood, drilled some big holes in it so I could put pegs through it into the holes into my work bench, and bolted and glued a couple of hefty bits of wood to one side with an inch gap between them. (Deep but not thick so I don't lose too much bar length). Works well. Doesn't store too easily, but that's not the end of the world.

I also put a bit of scrap wood on the bit where the log rests so that the ply doesn't get eaten away if I get a bit enthusiastic with a cut!

Like the stepped block and the horse with the slider jaw ideas, think I'll try both at the weekend as I've a ton of odds and sods to cut up and have been putting it off.

Till now I've given all the odd bits to my neighbour who cuts them by hand in a B&Q workmates bench, I do let him keep it tho !

Usually drill 4 largish holes in the 'corners' of my chopping/splitting block, stick 4 20mm ish sticks in and dump the wood in the middle. Holds it firm and is easily repeatable when the block wears out...
