I like it. Doesn't have to be full height. Half the height would work too.. saw bucks are good if u want the extra workout of lifting a log up . I just cut em on ground rolled on a small branch or something. No dirt in my chain.. Looks very nice tho
To keep smaller pieces from jumping, I run ratchet strap around the whole bunch before cutting. Seems to work well although I'm cutting from a pallet. I inherited a wood stack with the house but splits were too long for the stove.
I think I was reading the third page of the PDF when I gave up. The plans might be simple but the way it was laid out was not.
