Here is a link for sawbuck plans, i made this in 45 minutes very easy to make and very sturdy. it cost me about ten bucks to make. i went to home depot and bought the treated wood in their scrap bin for 50 cents a board and i purchased galvanized bolts. even if you have no carpentry skills whatsoever, you can build this (broken link removed to http://www.firewood-for-life.com/sawbuck-plans).

I was going to make one but I had a metal cheapie I got from Northern Tool that I beefed up by bolting pressure treated boards to it, only thing I would do different from the plan is off center the middle X since I cut my rounds 16".
 
thx for getting the correct link.
 
^^^^I did that and I'm glad I did. I made mine out of 4x4s and 2x6s. Overkill maybe, sturdy yes haha
 
The sawbuck works great, and i built the racks also. they both work very well
 
i like this. maybe i'll build it. i was just posting earlier about trying to cut 24" logs down to firewood size 16-18", but the logs keep rolling on me. this looks like a quick build and will make these cuts easier and safer, plus save my back.
 
I looked at a lot of different ones and liked many of them but for some reason this video seemed to push me into making one very similar to his, quick to make and I can move it around very easy and even take it to the woods with me. It does work very well.

That was a suggestion from , TimJ, it really holds the poles in nice snug
That definitely is a big improvement to the system. Don't want those logs jumpin' all over.
