    Someone posted a jig box for cutting long wood to a shorter length. I've tried to search but can't find it.

    If whoever made it (or whoever knows how to find it) could link to it I'd appreciate it. Or tell me how to find it. Or if you've done something similar, please share.

    Thanks!

    I went no thrill, throw it together for mine. Not really a jig but works for me and this is third year Ive had it.
    I marked the approximate lengths on the bottom support rail. I toss on a sacrificed "cut log" to help hold the splits up and cut into, so I dont cut into brace
    Horrible picture but kind of get the idea.

    Thanks yall! That "quickie wood cradle" is exactly the one I remembered. I even remembered that it was wood Wolverine, just couldn't find it....didn't remember that 'cradle' was in there.

    Gotta rig me up one of those.
