2Nd Qn Re Chainsaw
4 Answers
Hi Guys
Thinking about getting hubby http://
On the set of 6 pictures in description section (click to enlarge) the one that is the top right one (with the chainsaw sat on) is that the log clamp or is that the saw horse upside down before it's been assembled?
If that's not the log clamp then where is the bit you tighten to clamp the logs?
Cheers Cmitchell

It appears to me that the one you describe is simply a "rest" for the chain saw... Unless I'm misreading the pictures, the clamp(s) to hold the logs are already installed in the pictures.
I'm in the U.S. and have not seen a device like this. My immediate reaction (having thousands of hours on the working end of chainsaws) is that the things made of steel... long lasting enough, but one would have to be very careful as one reached the completion of cutting through the logs not to let the saw drop dow just a few inches and strike the supports under the rack. This would ruin your whole day.
Here we just use a slap together wooden "sawbuck" like this:

Cheap, efficient and doesn't damage the chain if it slips and strikes the sawbuck... Easily repaired s well...

Funnily enough I did think he would have to be extremely careful cutting through the logs not to let the saw drop down after doing each one! I think "ruining the day" would be the understatement - I'm thinking accidents and/or the cost of the chainsaw/ the chain or buggering up the whole thing! Yep I think I may try to buy him one of these wooden ones or get him to make one. Deffo gonna print off ur instructions.
Thanks Clanad
Thanks Clanad
I agree with Clanad entirely on this!
Unless you're gonna be using a bow saw and hand sawing the logs, then I'd steer well clear of using a metal sawhorse in combination with a chainsaw.
Thinking back to my early days of training, students always had a deep bed of sawdust on which to saw through logs.
At least with a wooden sawbuck, a slight slip wont damage the chain,(or ones self) and the wood can easily be replaced.
