Hi guys

Hope you can help,have just bought myself an old town canoe,but in my haste i did not realise that my garage was not big enough to store the canoe, i have reclamied 6"x6" timber lengths which i hope to build a gambrel shed 20x12 so i can store the canoe in the roof space.The problem i have is how to rig up the chainsaw to cut at adjustable accurate angles and also true 90 degrees,and also how to join the gambrel roof beams together,i'm also limited by the tools i have at my disposal, thats why i was hoping to use the chainsaw being a arborist i'm comfortable using the chainsaw.regards

Hey Clyde - welcome aboard.

if you go to this site "http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=81715&page=3" you will see a link to a book about lumber making with chainsaw by Will Malloff and all manner of jogs etc to do what you need.

Cheers
