Fast and Sturdy Chainsaw Cutting Racks

[@bobohodls124]

6 years later. . . I'm so glad I happened upon these instructions. Finally a way to efficiently deal with those 1/2-2" limbs, as they're a shame not to utilize. Just saying. . . another thanks and a tip of the hat to you. 😁

[@randysizemore7243]

Just made mine today im going to love it getting ready to cut 25 ash trees this is a time saver

[@megeres1]

Built it today-really needed one for the tree limbs that we have collected over the summer months this past year! Thank you for sharing/demonstrating the ‘how to build’ process. Cheers+

[@SeanHodgins]

You should take an old tarp and cut it in strips thin enough to fit in between the chainsaw guides. Then you can lift up the two end of the tarp after they're cut and contain all of the wood pieces in it to pick them up easier.

[@FinnCrafted]

Good tip, will have to try that some time.

[@Studebaker-Hoch]

Thank you for filming and sharing. Simple, effective and looks very satisfying to use. I'm sure to bulid one like this for our cabin.

[@FinnCrafted]

Great. It's a fun project to build as looks and finish is totally irrelevant.

[@kenbeattie1958]

Thankyou for the idea! I have been beating my head (yes, in fact) trying to think of an efficient way to cut up a big pile of branches for stove wood. I don't want to waste anything bigger than 2 cm, but there are a lot of those. Wishing you a beautiful spring!

[@patrickmurphy9266]

One of the safest and most efficient methods of cutting up limbs .

[@weegee5719]

Nice work and good idea for that.Well done,mate!

[@1Maklak]

Thank you for the idea. I think I'll try making one out of old palettes, but use nails over screws. It is within my skill level. Cutting branches the normal way is messy and inconvenient.

[@forresterickson6225]

I too have thought some pallet material might be a good choice but am intimidated by the planning process. Share a dimensioned drawing or photo please.

[@1Maklak]

@@forresterickson6225 I didn't build one in the end. The plan was to take a bunch of boards, about 10-15 cm wide, 120-140 cm long and 2cm thick. put down two of those, parallel and maybe 60-80 cm apart. Then perpendicular to that, put more boards on top of that, spacing them about 40 cm apart and making them flush with one board and sticking outside the other and nail all of this together. Then make a second one and put them together like a pyramid made of hands with straight fingers. Sticks to be cut go on top and it can be made more stable by hammering sticks into the ground around the base. It's also easy to disassemble, takes about as much room as a palette when stored and it's pretty easy to move too. There is 10-20 cm of room between the "finger" boards, which is convenient enough for cutting.

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

hahaha I bet a lot of people bang their head into a wall now having cutting branches one by one. I don't have the need right now but at least I know how to cut stuff like this in the future!:D

[@edgarderschmied4497]

Jep, me...

[@jamiebyrd8336]

this is such an amazing video, but really annoyed me after seeing all the time i have wasted in the past. thank you for sharing such a good idea. :)

[@FinnCrafted]

Well... I had no idea this would actually be of any use to anyone. I thought the design was well known to most people, but I am truly happy if it helps someone out. Thanks!

[@troutguyCO]

One could easily "convert" this rack temporarily into a more traditional sawbuck by just adding 2 x 4's about 1 foot from the top and perpendicular to the long axis; the boards could even be temporarily placed there by bolts with wingnuts. By doing this conversion the sawer would be able to cut larger diameter logs at a more comfortable height for the sawer.

[@earthmothercare13]

Thank you! This is what I want to build .. now i can .. easy peasy 😁✌🏾

[@oldhippie8774]

You have to make the saw part higher so you don't have to bend down and make a bottom plate in it so that they don't fall on the ground.

[@troutguyCO]

Could cut a "tray" of scrap plywood that's on the bottom; might work to just slide most of the cut pieces to one side? Make the tray 1 or 2 inches short of the base in all 4 dimensions. At least one could remove some of the cut material easier.

[@dennisdownes9319]

I need some of those right now! Great idea. DD

[@DavidEricPrates]

Genius! Great idea friend. ;)

[@FinnCrafted]

Thanks for watching :)

[@MrRondube]

Excelente, Just what I was looking for. Congratulations

[@gerryroberts458]

Grade job !!! What about the thickness of the planks?

[@tewaewae]

Thanks Gonna work a treat on the bamboo.

[@tcm8119]

Terrific! Thank you.

[@ajaxvarble]

Sounded like my dad imitating a chainsaw when you speed it up lol. Great video definitely making something similar to this:)

[@deranocasper]

Very good 💡👍🙏👌🍻⚒️💃

[@LindasDesk]

Fricking Brilliant!

[@fyuhvftyhvf]

Like it, made a similar one, works great 🙂

[@terrylynn7396]

WOW!! THAT WAS AMAZING!! IM ABOUT 2 SAW A HUNDRED LOGS n IM DOING IT UR WAY!! ITS PERFECT!!😁PLZ COME UP WITH MORE SMART IDEAS 4 US!!

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Simple and effective.

[@seguradojr]

the best ideia i saw. iwill do it, tks

[@johnasumaa9662]

Darned good idea. Kiitos.

[@FinnCrafted]

Thank you ja kiitos kommentista!

[@gregbrucks9710]

Did you make that out of 2x4's or 2x6's

[@albusai]

Isn’t dangerous to bind the blade ?

[@pabloismaelsuarez9448]

Lo Voy a Hacer!!.. Like!! 👌

[@George_Mgns]

Nice! I will make one!

THANKS!!!!!!

[@joseotero2555]

Cool pants.lol

[@erwin6282]

💪💪💪👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@evguenigorevalov7630]

hey there! why do You cover Makita labels on the tools and batteries? :-D what is meaning for all that? I've also saw many paint their tools completely to hide original color...

[@FinnCrafted]

What, I have Makita tools??!!! It just looked like a nice green color to me... :D No seriously, makers usually paint or cover their tool brands in order not to freely market brands that they are not associated with.

[@evguenigorevalov7630]

thanks for the answer! and greatings from Estonia. :-D

[@ShirleiBarnes]

Great!

[@the_old_young_man]
