Needing a saw buck to hold long slim poles that were too big to break for kindling but could use a sawsall to cut I made this one in just a few minutes.
It actually surprised me how large of poles it will hold. This one will take a 6 inch diameter about 8 ft. long. On smaller poles I use a piece of cut wood for a shim (pictured) to hold the pole up approximately level. Sure better than bending over and working although to build another it will be a tad taller by using longer #3 or #4 rebar.
It is made by driving a couple of electric fence post in at an obtuse angle and about 18 inches behind those are two driven in so they form an acute angle. The 18 inches apart is so I can cut right up to the post and have a final piece that will go in my stove. The post are tied together with synthetic baler twine using a special knot.
The next one will be T-iron post to hold 8 and 10 inchers or what ever I can lift.
My i phone didn't do too good did it.
