My girlfriend's dad and I built a sawbuck tonight. I have been wanting one for a long time. My dad had three 12' treated 4x4s that he gave me for starters. They were a little twisted, but I was able to get enough straight pieces from them. After work today I went to lowe's and picked up some galvanized 1/2" bolts and nuts. I also bought four treated 2x4s for bracing. I started by notching the 4x4s on 60* angles for the cross pieces. I made three cross pieces with the 4x4s and then tied them together with the 2x4s. I made the sawbuck 5' long so that it would easily fit in the back of my yota. It hold the wood at, the perfect, waist height. I would post pics, but I left the camera at work today. I will get them posted asap. I think it turned out great. I can't wait to take it, along with my saws, to the Heritage Festival this weekend. My buddy and I are going to have a great setup this year. He is bringing at least 5 two-man saws and a bunch of old one-man saws. I will probably take about 7 saws. We already have a 42" poplar, 16' long, there to cut with the saws. We also have a 36" whit oak. We have some small stuff to go in the sawbuck that we made tonight, but I think it will handle up to a 18" log easy. Like I said I will have pics up asap.
