I knocked this up a couple of days ago from an old pallet and some shorter lengths of 35 x 75 pine I had lying around, for use with my chainsaw. It is held together by nails, strap hinges, bolts and wingnuts. I wanted something that could be folded away and put in a bike shed. I have also drilled 19mm holes for dog dowels to help prop log sections that I feel might roll or to help hold 1/2 logs that I wish to cut into smaller sections parallel with the grain. The top is replaceable and uses the three 100 x 50 sections from the pallet.

It's ugly but it works.

Skew ChiDAMN!!

It's ugly but it works.

That's the important thing. :2tsup:

And, being ugly, you won't stress out so much when you inevitably slip with the saw... :)

Nice one.

But what's the problem with the missus holding the log??

She'd want to hold the chainsaw, have me hold the log, start the chainsaw, smile and close her eyes. :D
