log/firewood holders

[diesel&coffee]

anyone made a firewood/log holder... I see baileys has a Swedish one.. Don't know how good it is... But was just looking for something "strong" but portable.. Does not have to have logs that high off the gound like in compitition.. Just a really strong setup for hardwood rounds say up to 15" for av.

diff question - anyone ever use this one..

I made one like this a couple of summers ago, works pretty good, easy enough to make. I've never put a pdf file in a thread before, so if it doesn't work, PM me your email address and I'll send it to you

Thanks Nic. I'm going to make me one.

Thanks to Nic, Fatguy, for the PDF. I made mine this afternoon. It only takes 5 2x4 studs, a few screws, 2 1/4" dowel, and about 5' of chain.

Looks like the 2 top horizontal 2x4's are in the way for bucking pieces to size.

chainsaw buddy

I bought a chainsaw buddy a few years back. It actually works as advertised but I've only used it a couple of times when cutting up some branchy trees close to the house. I had an extra saw I put it on so I wasn't having to remove it every time I wanted to buck up some bigger stuff.

If you are planning on cutting a lot of small stuff on the ground I'd say they do a good job of keeping the chain out of the dirt and the branches from rolling up the bar too far.

I made a saw buck but now that my back is not as young as it used to be I don't use it and prefer to use a log jack.

I'm just using it as a log holder for timed cuts.

My Sawbuck

I made this one five years ago. I used it today to bring in a cord of mulberry (snarly stuff, but it worked great).

What I like about it is that it's strong as an ape. Much of the time, I cut straight down the center and let the ends flop to the side. However, I also cut to either side.

How are you doing with yours? Mine hasn't had any use except the initial load up. Too much snow then went from that to mud. I keep eyeballing the pile to be done and having the itch to get at it.

Haven't used mine yet. Got a bunch of 6' limbs in the yard but have not yet gotten to them.
