I like it , did U use screws or nails ??

Bolts for the 3 cross members with large washers so it folds easily, and countersunk them so they don't stick out at all. The rest is screwed with regular deck type outdoor screws.

I was thinkin deck screws would be best , plus I have some :)
 
I have a sawbuck but don't use it for a whole lot of wood. The occasional bunch of branches.

The best way to cut is wait until you have a snow base and you don't have to worry about grounding out your chain. Just buck it all up where it falls.

. . . unless you land your wood right on the edge of a field where farmers have been tossing rocks to the side for years . . . and you happen to be Firefighterjake . . . in which case you will be able to totally frig up your chain. ;)
 
LOL! Jake, we seem to share the same "luck"! ;)
 
I really like my saw buck. I doubled up the center x to hold the cut branches. That way I don't have to pick the cut branches off the ground again. [Hearth.com] Sawbucks and gang cutting for small wood? Time saver or annoyance?
