Title: simple and effective
Review: If you are looking for a simple way to square up some logs, for timber framing or for preparation for bandsawing, this will work. Now, this is not an Alaskan mill, and it won't prepare perfect boards with no effort and no thought. You nail a 2x4 to a log to form a staight edge, and you watch a level to keep the saw in a vertical plane. Flip the log 90 degrees, plumb up the side you just cut with another level, and repeat. I have been using mine for about a month, and I have a stack of rough-sawn timbers to show that it works. I am using a Stihl with a 16" bar, regular crosscutting chain, on softwood logs up to 14" diameter - you don't need a super-power saw if you take your time.
