    Dead tree down! That will help keep you warm. At least you don't have to split it also.

    Right where I want to be.
    That's a nice little haul.
    I like the wagon right below the cuts.
    Smart move.

    Yeah, I like your cutting horse, or whatever you call it. Bucket underneath, just big enough to catch the smaller stuff. Very nice!

    That's a clever setup. :yes: I've been thinking about doing something like that. Never thought of using a wagon though. I usually just make a stack of branches on the ground - works good for the first few cuts, but then you're stepping over the offcuts, and you still gotta roll the ones on the ground.

    Anything you'd change about that design? I see it lacks a beer holder :cheers:

    I just call it a pole rack , it has other uses now to
    I got basic idea from a YouTube vid
    I like the no bending over while cutting whatever I put in it .
    That's just a plastic tub with a rope, slides ok on grass ,much better on snow .
    The rack evolved as I needed it to do more things, now I guess It's multi rack, no beer holder yet , Got nails to hang ,Tongs ,hook and hookaroon while setting next to the splitter.
    It started out like this then it got the V boards

    Then added this for cutting short peices to size and cutting up pallet boards

    To move it around I just lay it on It's side, walk into it pick it up n go
    Oh yeah, made from free pallet wood

    That's a really neat setup. Makes me want to go back to the drawing board.

    I'm with ya on the no bending thing HD. It makes a big difference doesn't it? Even if it only keeps you from bending 10% less, you feel it.
