How to make a simple logging saw horse

The recent high winds have brought a lot of branches down so now is the time to refill the log store. To make the cutting easier I have designed a simple folding logging saw horse.
The plans are available free of charge but I need your email address. Go to my main KZbin page, select "About" to find my email address. I am told that this works better from a PC.

The bungie is a similar idea to what is on the Truncator (which is what I have). The nice thing with the bungie is that you can actually put several logs in at the same time and saw through all of them (with care). I would always use the bungie, no matter what , even for a single log, it holds the material firmly in place and reduces danger and, as you say Peter, it allows single operater use of the chainsaw. We have a small area of woodland and about a day a year is spent cutting up fallen logs, splitting them with the log splitter and then hauling them back in the tractor. A day of cutting gives us a winter of log fuel - with the cost of logs these days, it's time very well spent!

Hi Ian, Many thanks for this - very informative and very useful. Cheers. Peter

i made one that fitted into the top of a workmate and uses a bungie cord a few years ago - last summer i spent 2 days cutting up all the wood we had in the courtyard from various trees that had been removed and also a neighbour's ash tree overhanging and branches from pruning - HOWEVER , I wished I had seen this at the time, as i would have made it this way - much better than the 2 planks I put together at 90degrees and then drop as a V into the workmate ..... area is a all clear now - but a friend has asked for a similar thing - so I may make it in this was for her - Thanks

Many thanks for this. Good luck with the new design. Cheers Peter

Love the bungee and knot idea. Definitely have to add to my sawhorse (similar design). 👍

[@NewBritWorkshop]

I have almost always had to saw logs on my own and it was never easy holding the log for the final cut. Cheers. Peter

Ah Guttah hab 1, from our Peter Parfitt. So I'm going to me shop! Thank you dear Kind Sir.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Pat, Well done - it is very easy to make. Good luck and take care. Cheers. Peter

I made one like that but twice the size, a couple of years ago. I use a small EGO chain saw with the battery attached to a belt on my waist. Old age showing, I'm afraid, but suits me well.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Brad, It is a simple design and very easy to make. I was also using a battery powered chain saw - very easy to use. Cheers. Peter

[@mikebashford8198]

Knotted bungee and slot - brilliant and very effective idea.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Mike, It had to be really easy to use. Cheers. Peter

[@TheDoosh79]

Perfect timing, only the other day I was thinking I need something like this for some logs I will have to chop!

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Excellent. Cheers. Peter

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Shaun, You are very kind. Cheers. Peter

[@davidgrover2665]

Thanks for sharing Peter - as always a thoughtful design that works! 👍

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi David, I kick myself for not filming the actual construction but hope that the description is easy enough for people to build something similar. Cheers. Peter

[@cathie9920]

This is exactly what need - How do I get the plans please?

[@NewBritWorkshop]

All my plans are available free of charge but in order to get plans I need your email address. To find my email address go to my main KZbin page, click the "About" tab and that leads to my email address. I am told this has to be done on a PC. Please state which plans you need in your email. Peter

[@lambd5578]

Waste of time. A build video without the build!!!

[@mikebernard4762]

Not a waste of time as Peter explained the construction very well!

[@hugostare8695]

Well, he did say he`d send plans if you ask, but If you can`t figure out how to make that from just looking at it in the video then I worry about you using a chainsaw...

[@wojciechdobropolski1821]

Peter many thanks for this saw horse ,simple but very usefull

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers. Peter
