Sawhorse Help

Longer bar and a peavey is more mobile.

^^ what he said. ^^^

I have a lot of "multiflora rosa" in my woods, and that stuff is covered in thorns and it likes to coil back on itself like concertina wire. I don't want to walk back and forth through that stuff 1000 times picking up individual rounds. So when I cut up a tree, I'm trying to haul it out in the fewest number of pieces possible. For anything under around 1' diameter or so, I cut to 80" lengths, and then trailer them up.



From there, it either gets unloaded right onto my sawbuck for immediate processing, or it gets stored behind my garage if I've run out of places to stack.



So they might not fit everyone's work style, but they sure come in handy for me.

H-buck


And the @Shawn Curry buck


Sorry Shawn, I still have it assembled wrong but the thing supports well over 300# with ease and works well for me.

I like this sawbuck. Short and easy to load big, long logs. I made it with 6/4 oak.

Before getting a forklift I still did a lot of wood this way, picking up one end at a time to load the deck. Many comments on AS were that I was creating more work for myself. After getting the lift I added the uprights in the back. It worked okay doing it by hand, as long as you don't try lifting more than you can handle. What I still like about these saw horses, or bench, is that the wood does not fall on the ground to be picked up again. The front edge is sacrificial, and has been replaced several times. To load it by hand a Log-rite Jr arch would be handy for moving logs.
