Bluestem; check post #8. I like the I-beam saw horses because the weight is distributed from the top directly to the legs. The fasteners hold everything together but do not directly support the weight. There are many good steel saw horses you could substitute. The top. Google Lowe's and search for 'landscape timbers'. Although they are treated they are not listed under 'treated' materials. They are flat on two sides, three inches thick, random width, by 8' long, and the nice part, they are only $3.97each. I used four. You want something thick because it is going to get cut up a bit. I have spots that are cut through after 17 cords. Lay them out side by side, cleat both ends, one end being 2x4, one end that you will butt logs to being 2x6 and sticking above the table as a stop. Before fastening cleats to the botton do a layout on the top where you are going to be cutting logs to round lengths. This is to avoid hitting screws when cutting, obviously. The 2x6 stop/gage projects about 2" above the table. I used a 2x4 at first and had to replace it with something wider. It's also is a structual bridge where I've cut through the table in spots. Marking gage: My logs are 8' to 8'-6". I therefore cut 16", 16 1/2" or 17" lengths to avoid waste and short cut offs. That is why you see three marks on the gage. 16,32,48, etc.; 16 1/2, 33, 49 1/2, etc.; 17, 34, 51, etc. So at the 48" mark is also a 49 1/2", and a 51" depending on how long the log is, which can be seen at a glance on the far end. I screwed the top to the saw horses because of lateral movement butting logs against the stop, and firred the top of the saw horses 3", flush with the table top with some scrap. It is not an original idea as I have since seen it on Youtube. Built-rite makes a block saw for somewhere around $12,500 plus $2000. for an optional log deck. If I didn't move my splitter, I could use a table instead of a trailer (trailer holds 1/3 cord), with the splitter behind that. To increase productivity I would get a skid-steer/forklift to move logs before a faster splitter. Kind of long, hope it helps.
