    Professional grade video. One look at this guy (Hugh) and you know that you can trust him and that he's more than competent. He's the kind of guy that I remember from my childhood when men knew what they were doing. Thanks for this great video.

    Clever! Finally a sawbuck with a different design and more capacity . I just replaced my redwood 3 section sawbuck after 25+ years with a six section sawbuck made from salvaged 3x12 bridge decking. I designed my sawbuck to use replaceable 3x12 blocks between the supports to absorb chainsaw nicks and retain firewood rounds after they have been cut. I have not had issues with log rotation so I do not use a tie-down chain. I have no helpers so 6-7" diameter by 8 foot sections are the heaviest I can heave at my age! Good video!

    Like your design. I don't understand why more people don't make a sawbuck that prevents the wood from falling through to the ground. Between safety and reducing the bending to pick up the wood it seems like a simple concept. Great video!

    • @mistergrendel32
      @mistergrendel32 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think if the design allows the wood to fall to the ground, there is less a chance of the wood pinching the saw?

    Good video. Most of my logs I'd be fighting with to get them up onto there though, they are cut green and generally 12' -14' roughly long. I use the timber jack I made to lift them up and work my way along them like that. I am planning on building a sawbuck this summer thought to throw the small and short stuff onto to buck up though.

    I like it.
    Far more forgiving than a mass produced Metal sawbuck. One touch and the Chain is ruined(Don't ask how I know)
    Much more stable than the Metal sawbucks that do not support the length of the log
    Blends in with the wood working process and adds a bit of class. i.e. Looks like to belongs in the yard.
    The only negative is the Heave Ho required to load a log but they all suffer that issue.

      @hughlowham4142  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your comment. I agree on the Heave Ho. Started getting smaller logs, and sometimes just use 4-ft lenghts.

    Great cost effective sawbuck. Love that you used some rounds you had laying around instead of all store bought lumber. That's a clean Stihl. 028? Love my 026 and my 440. Two great saws that last a long time, and really rip when modified. Great video man!

    • @hughlowham4142
      @hughlowham4142  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for your comment. My Stihl is a 34, but it's a little more saw than I need, and would like to have something just a little lighter, especially as I get up in years (78).

      Rent gasoline powered log splitter for 1/2 day ($83), and recruit wife and couple strong grandsons to assist. Makes splitting three or four cords easy work.

    "So for cutting up the wood--and you've got some hefty wood especially--you want to go down to the gym or else have a couple of grandsons you can recruit and have them pick up the logs and place them on the sawbuck." We see which option you chose. Nice.

    For cutting smaller legs, I cinch down 2 to 4 and cut away. Tight chain will hold them from rolling.
