If you frequently cut your own firewood, you'll appreciate this modular firewood holder that lifts limbs off the ground for easier and more efficient cutting.
Cutting limbs directly on the ground can be physically demanding. Bending over constantly to cut and then gathering the pieces in a pile quickly leads to exhaustion. When you're fatigued, mistakes happen—such as accidentally touching the chainsaw bar to the ground, which can dull it instantly.
For those who often cut limbs, you can build a firewood holder that mounts in different spots and fits limbs of various sizes. It operates using a swing arm mechanism that secures one end of the limb, and the weight of the wood keeps it steady. The arm adjusts upward to match the tree limb size, and the hip-level height makes cutting easier since you won't have to bend over.
Before attempting to build this, you'll need some welding experience, but the materials cost only $60 for 12 feet of 1 1/2 square stock and other necessary hardware.
Check out the video above to see the process in action.
