    Cheers from Australia - I’ve made one of theses off this instructional video and it’s bloody fantastic. Especially the fold up design. Makes it easy to throw in the trailer and take with me down in the paddock to saw those hardwood tree limbs lying on the ground. Saves back ache, chainsaw biting dirt and most of all, added safety from chainsaw grab and throw back. Thanks so much for making this video and sharing your design.

    Great video! I love the folding aspect of this. I am in my early 60's now but can remember in my youth, helping my father cut firewood logs on one exactly like this. The only differences were it didn't fold and it had an extra support towards the bottom on each side. Thank you for sharing!

    Perfect. We will be building one of these for our Scout Troop since we host the two-man saw at all of our Scout outings. We use a ratchet strap to secure the log so I will most likely put a "kick step" down a bit further so we can wrap the strap around it. Great design, easily done.

    Just wanted to say thank you for posting this....was looking for something to save hubby's back when cutting logs and came across your video. For the same price as a cheap flimsy bought version (would have been cheaper but had no spare lengths of timber at the moment!) and about half an hour to make I now have a very sturdy version that is absolutely perfect. Very clear and easy instructions.

    This is a great tutorial video! Thank you so much. I just made it, with two changes to your original: 1 I made one 24 and one 12 inch section instead of two 24" sections (I have shorter pieces of wood so I thought that would work well) 2 Because I am going to use it on both ends, depending on the length of the pieces of wood, I pointed the bolts on both ends inward instead of all pointed into the same direction. We will get good use out of this for many years, thanks again!

    Thank you for these instructions. I made the mistake of purchasing pressure treated 2x4's and did not realize it would add so much weight. When completed it weighs 75 lbs whis bit much for an older man(77) to move around, you may want to give the folks a "heads up" that it is very steady but does weigh a lot. Thanks again!!!!!!

    • @firewoodforlife
      @firewoodforlife  2 года назад

      You're welcome and thank you for the suggestion! You're correct, pressure treated does add some weight but over time it should lighten up a little as the wood dries out.
