Sturdy Sawbuck for Cutting Firewood

Fun guy gives instruction on how to make a sturdy sawbuck for cutting firewood.

Great idea. The trees on my place are bigger than the ones on the video but this design could be scaled up with bigger logs and screws.

Clever! Finally a sawbuck with a different design and more capacity . I just replaced my redwood 3 section sawbuck after 25+ years with a six section sawbuck made from salvaged 3x12 bridge decking. I designed my sawbuck to use replaceable 3x12 blocks between the supports to absorb chainsaw nicks and retain firewood rounds after they have been cut. I have not had issues with log rotation so I do not use a tie-down chain. I have no helpers so 6-7" diameter by 8 foot sections are the heaviest I can heave at my age! Good video!

Professional grade video. One look at this guy (Hugh) and you know that you can trust him and that he's more than competent. He's the kind of guy that I remember from my childhood when men knew what they were doing. Thanks for this great video.

Solo work is always the best teacher. Nice design !

Best video on making a sawbuck on YouTube. Great editing as well!

Very good idea Sir and a good video, watching from England.

Excellent video! I'm ready to get busy and make some sawdust myself!

Good video. Most of my logs I'd be fighting with to get them up onto there though, they are cut green and generally 12' -14' roughly long. I use the timber jack I made to lift them up and work my way along them like that. I am planning on building a sawbuck this summer thought to throw the small and short stuff onto to buck up though.

Finally a video on saw bucks that is well done!

Like your design. I don't understand why more people don't make a sawbuck that prevents the wood from falling through to the ground. Between safety and reducing the bending to pick up the wood it seems like a simple concept. Great video!

Excellent idea. Thanks for the inspiration.great video too.

Great video. Very specific like I needed.

Very thorough video! How do you split your wood? Log splitter, maul, splitting axe?

I don’t know who this guy is, but he should be in Hollywood.

[jvqzbur]

way to be - so this is how to do it - subbed !

[jacksprat]

Are you friggin kidding? Saw em down, trim, buck, done. Ready for splitting.

Great cost effective sawbuck. Love that you used some rounds you had laying around instead of all store bought lumber. That's a clean Stihl. 028? Love my 026 and my 440. Two great saws that last a long time, and really rip when modified. Great video man!

I like it.
Far more forgiving than a mass produced Metal sawbuck. One touch and the Chain is ruined(Don't ask how I know)
Much more stable than the Metal sawbucks that do not support the length of the log
Blends in with the wood working process and adds a bit of class. i.e. Looks like to belongs in the yard.
The only negative is the Heave Ho required to load a log but they all suffer that issue.

don’t forget your earring protection and shaps! 😉

Well done are you related to Clint Eastwood by any chance?
