Lets consider the following: *Jrider gets most of his wood from tree service companies in log form. So he will be mainly just bucking. Holding a...
Deck screws should be fine. I’m sure Simpson would say no, but I’ve used them multiple times and they never failed that I can recall

How hard would it be to add a length marking system and a cage or platform to catch fallen splits?
