Farwood measuring guide for chainsaws...

[Oldpath05]

I found a picture of my saw carrier, it was on PB, I'm surprised I was able to open it, last year nothing worked there. Otta find away to get all those pictures off PB be the Russians hack into it...............From where the file is is where I had to cut the slot to accommodate the new bolt-nut-plug thing, then on the outer side where the bar slides in is where I put that small block to hold the guide-rod, if I knew how to make those arrows I'd put them on.



PS, this picture was taken yesterday...............

How about a picture with the saw in your holder. Thanks.

if you cut wood with clothes on then unplug the guide and stick it in the back pocket

And if you cut wood in the buff you can stick it somewhere else!

I got or had that picture somewhere but it diapered in the cloud, have to take another one sometime. These saw holders can be a time consuming invention to make and to find a good location on a tractor.

My first saw holder was quick and simple: I bore cut down the length of a 2x6 and zip-tied it to my logging winch. (OK, I have to admit, I was surprised I was able to bore the length of the 2x6 for the full depth of the bar without poking out the sides on the first try. I was out of practice: I even had 3 scraps of 2x6 lined up, anticipating messing up at least the first attempt). That one lasted for a coupe years, until I banged something against it and split the 2x6.

I have and use a Mingo Marker. I really like it but I don't use it all the time. My Stove is picky and 16" lengths work best. I cant fit anything over 18" across and under 14" is wasting wood storage space and handling effort. So, the Mingo Marker gets used on any log big enough to get three pieces of fire wood out of. if I'l only get one or two sticks out of the branch I eye ball it.

So you drilled the the bar length of a 2x6, I estimate your chainsaw bar is 16-18" long x 4" wide x a minimum of 3/8" thick for easy in&out. So drilling straight at 18" deep an estimated 9 times in a row with a 3/8 "x 18" bit than clean out the left debris, now that's pretty good for not going through the side.

When making a saw holder out of wood and to avoid easy splitting of wood when it's on the thin side, (3/8") I like glueing and screwing wood that dont split so easy, plywood or yellow birch, if I use easy splitting wood like oak, ash, cedar, pine and hemlock....... I first plane down to 3/16"-1/4" then apply water proof-ish wood glue to both pieces, clamp together, then when dry assemble the pieces to together from the blueprint between my ears with screws, more glue and narrow crown staples.

I think he meant that he did a plunge cut with the chainsaw where he pushed the bar straight into the end of the 2x6 and let it carve it's own pocket.

The Amazon one is nicer as it's QD, but Baileys' has something similar for half the price: Quick Stix - Firewood Log Guide | Firewood Cutting Attachments | Chainsaw Attachments | www.baileysonline.com

The Bailey's one did not do so well in the reviews...
