The simplest device for sawing firewood - goats, allows you to process cubic meters of wood raw materials, make a neat cut of a board or a metal plank. The classic look of the machine is represented by a simple design. The material for the manufacture of wood sawing equipment is more than available and is chosen at your discretion: wooden beams, thin tree trunks, metal profiles, scrap metal at hand.
How to make goats for sawing firewood according to the rules of ergonomics
Like any machine, a sawing unit requires preparation for its manufacture, thinking over the design, making a sketch or drawing with sizing, indicating small details, choosing the angle of inclination of the supports, and the height of the horns. A careful approach will save you from subsequent refinement, speed up assembly, and help create the prerequisites for effective work.
Accurately selected dimensions and dimensions of the goats allow you to assemble a light, stable and easy-to-use frame for sawing logs. The overall dimension should take into account the comfortable and convenient use of the machine:
- worker growth,
- type of instrument
- type of wood being cut.
The height of the log affects the duration of sawing. The optimal height of the crossbar-support for laying raw materials is 90 - 110 cm, the size allows you to work in a free natural position, without bending your back or placing your hand above the horizontal.
The work tool predetermines the mounting of additional elements on the trestle. Working with a two-handed saw requires a hand rest. A simple stop is made from wood inserted into the goats.
The use of a chainsaw for the preparation of chocks requires a strong material for the upper part of the goat and a different design. The technology of working with modern cutting tools requires maximum space for free hanging of one of the ends of the log in order to remove the possibility of clamping the blade.
How to make goats for sawing firewood with a conventional saw
Here are the overall dimensions and detailed instructions for the manufacture of light, durable and comfortable goats.
For work, prepare the material from the list:
- For the base. A piece of bar with a section of 100x100 mm. Cut length 1.1+/- 00.5 m.
- For legs. Segments of bars with a section of 50x50 mm. Quantity - 4 units. Length 1.1 +/-0.05 m.
- Under the horns. Segments of bars with a section of 50x50 mm. Quantity - 2 units. Length 360 m.
- For amplifiers under the legs. Segments of a bar of an inch section. Quantity - 2 units. Length 1.3m.
- 3 dozen self-tapping screws 45x100 mm.
- Preparation for protection of wooden surfaces from rotting, wood stain.
The proposed list is not mandatory. Materials are selected from the presence in the own household of residues from previous construction works.
To work, you need a set of tools:
- Construction corner.
- Soft simple pencil.
- Wood saw.
- Ordinary hammer.
- Chisels.
- Construction roll.
- Flat and Phillips screwdrivers.
- Paint brush 4-5 cm.
Mark the beam for the base for 12 cuts, 6 pieces on each side, 2.5 cm deep. These will be the grooves for the horns and legs. Useful advice. The cuts are made 2-3 mm narrower than 50 mm, for a dense, tight fit, insertion of 50x50 mm bars.
Cuts are selected with a chisel and a hammer, sawn-to-size bars are inserted into the resulting grooves. Fastening with self-tapping screws.
On the bars of an inch section, places are marked for mounting amplifiers, which ensure the strength of the structure and remove the possibility of legs divergence under load. The end segments are sawn off with a hacksaw, the length is selected flush with the legs. The ends of the legs resting on the ground are sawn off at an angle.
Ready goats are treated with stain. After drying, a simple machine is ready for use.
Making goats for sawing with a two-handed saw
Cutting logs with a two-handed saw causes loosening of the machine due to the alternating shear force and causes the narrow trestle to tip over. X-shaped racks for a sawing unit for a two-handed saw are made of thick, good quality wood with a cross section of 10 cm or more, using a metal puff or a wooden block for screeding. The width of the lower support of the racks is made 10-15 cm larger than the distance from the surface to the top of the tie bar. In the case of connecting the support crosses with a wooden screed, they are additionally strapped with a thin beam, strengthening and imparting rigidity and stability to the structure.
Dimensions for the manufacture of goats are taken similarly to the dimensions for a simple design, with adjustments for the dimensions for the lower support.
How to make homemade folding goats out of wood
Firewood is harvested seasonally. The used sawing machine in the rest of the period gathers dust, decays and occupies usable space. The model of folding goats will help to resolve the issue of rational warehousing, it will come in handy when conducting field logging.
For the manufacture of the model you will need material:
- Wooden bars. Quantity - 4 units.
- Metal pipe 1-1.3 m long. Quantity - 1 unit.
- Limiter for connecting legs: cable, chain, belt, rope.
- Drill for wood with a maximum diameter.
Simplicity of design is combined with ease of manufacture. Bars of the same size are taken ready-made or unraveled from a 50 mm board. On each bar, a place is marked for a hole with a diameter of 1-2 mm less than the diameter of the pipe and drilled through with a punch. The pair connection of the bars is performed by a limiter. The length of the limiter is selected according to the opening angle of the goat 350-450.
Proper assembly allows you to fold the bars in one plane and remove the goats until needed.
How to make metal goats for sawing firewood
Metal goats have a longer working life and compact dimensions, unlike classic wooden structures. To make metal goats at home, you will need the following materials and tools:
- Corner/profile pipe 50x50mm.
- Wooden beam 50x59mm. Length 5-10 cm.
- Bulgarian or hacksaw for metal.
- Construction centimeter or tape measure.
- Bolts for connection or welding machine.
According to a sketch drawn up in advance, with affixed and verified dimensions, the base beam is cut off, the places for attaching the legs and stags are outlined. The remaining parts of the structure are cut. The connection option is selected. For a collapsible design, the parts are connected with bolts. For a stationary goat, parts are welded. A piece of timber 50x50 mm is fixed to a longitudinal corner or pipe fastening the racks. This is a precautionary measure and protection of the saw teeth, the contact of the working surface of the teeth with the metal body of the goats is excluded.
The cost of a homemade metal model is high and is comparable to the price of an assembled finished goat model in the construction market for tools and equipment.
The range covers small machines intended for private use, and ends with large, dimensional machines for large-scale production. Price limits from $12 to $500. The choice of model is made according to the expected load on the bed, the length and thickness of the working forest.
European manufacturers offer inexpensive goats for sawing firewood. Many Ukrainian distributors offer to buy the selected model with delivery. For example, the German company MB exhibits models on the Ukrainian market from $11. The difference between high-quality goats for sawing from Germany and similar Chinese specimens is in the composition and strength of the metal, equipment of machine tools with additional elements. A serrated edge is provided to increase grip, reduce slipping and turning of the log during operation, compact aesthetic design, joints and edges treated with an anti-corrosion compound.
How to make your own goats for sawing firewood with a chainsaw
The popularity of using a chainsaw for cutting firewood is associated with the low price of the tool, ease of operation and the speed of performing a large amount of work. In comparison with the traditional method of manual sawing, the productivity of a chainsaw is ten times greater, and the ease of work is several orders of magnitude higher.
The owner of a modern tool is offered an original and convenient design of goats. Cutting a log with a chainsaw on a classic X-shaped stand can cause the chain to pinch during cutting. To prevent jamming of the chain saw, the worker has to turn the log over by hand with the cut down to complete the cut. It is safer to cut the free-protruding end of the line.
For sawing wood with a chainsaw, improved metal goats are used. A toothed grip is installed on one of the ends of the machine or a steel chain is welded. Having extended one end of the log as much as possible, the second is securely clamped in the fixture.
For private sawmills or large farms for the harvesting and processing of waste from scaffolding, slabs, trimmings of boards, slats, beams, the industry produces versatile, convenient sawing goats. The machine makes it possible to stack all the timber intended for processing in a dense pile, fix it with a special device, eliminating the possibility of sprawl or unexpected ricochet of scraps during the cutting process. Models start at $80.
The unsightly design of the goat is transformed, if desired, into a modern aesthetic appearance, with the expansion of the basic functionality of the machine. The manufacturing scheme of the sawing machine remains the same: legs with horns and a connecting body.
- Changes will affect the material used:
- Replace the log with a wide board and place it on edge.
- X-shaped legs are made not from bars, but from the available metal profile.
- Assemble a typesetting board from narrow boards, cover with a multi-colored antifungal preparation.
- Attach supports to the base-panel, previously bent from the upper and lower ends of the support. Use bolts with a wing nut as a connector. Choose an arbitrary bending angle, taking into account the possibility of placing a large log in rogulins. Perform the lower step taking into account the stability of the structure.
The versatility of the made goats lies in the extraordinary design and extended functionality of the horns. After assembly, the legs bent at an angle form a vertical crevice, which conveniently accepts a log of any diameter, boards, beams. Sawing a canvas of a complex, inconvenient configuration will become easy and safe.
- To the previous design of the modernized goat, add intermediate horns. This will allow you to cut short bars, blanks, boards, branches. The collapsible design of the goat allows you to use the machine in a utility room and in a limited area, for example, on the roof, in the attic when repairing or installing a new ceiling.
- In a small room, the unification of the goat can be brought to perfection. When assembling, leave the long upper end of the horns, mark 2/3 of the length and make a bend at 900 to the vertical in a vice.
- If necessary, a flat plank is laid on the horizontal horns and an impromptu table is obtained. Having provided a method for attaching a plank to curved horns, a mobile surface for attaching a vise, a verstal plane, and a tabletop are obtained. A flat panel for the time of settling a goat is turned into a plane for hanging shelves, drawers for tools.
- For beginners in carpentry, advice on assembling a goat from bars. The first bar is passed under the cross, and the subsequent ones are used to connect the legs.
- In order to facilitate unscrewing and protect the bolts from corrosive oxidation, a lubricant is applied to the nut threads before starting work.
Do-it-yourself goats for cutting firewood with your own hands are not as difficult to make as it seems, but before work it is advisable to draw up at least an approximate design drawing.
The article tells how to make a wooden goat for sawing firewood and how to cut the components of the structure.
What needs to be done before work?
Wood sawing goats are one of the simplest sawing structures. Thanks to this device, it is possible to process a lot of boards and other raw materials from wood with high quality.
Many people make goats for firewood on their own, most often they choose the classic version of the design, because it is the simplest.
As for the material for manufacturing, everything is also simple here - everything you need can be found in the store.
Most often, to make goats for sawing firewood, they take bars, thin trunks from trees, a metal profile and scrap metal that was at hand.
Before work, you need to carefully prepare. As mentioned above, you should think over the drawings, put them on paper.
It is advisable to think over in advance the position of all the small elements of the goats for sawing firewood. If you make a plan qualitatively, then you can avoid mistakes and their subsequent correction. In addition, ready-made drawings will reduce work time.
When drawing up a diagram, you need to take into account the growth of the master, the type of machine and what kind of wood will be sawn. You should think about what kind of saw the person will use.
For example, a machine for two-handed saws needs a special part for resting the hands, and a goat for sawing firewood with a chainsaw requires a change in the overall design, the machine must be made of strong woods.
For goats of the classical type, the following materials will be needed:
- a bar with a section of 100 by 100 mm, for the base part;
- a bar with a section of 50 by 50 mm, for the legs of the structure;
- two bars with a section of 50 by 50 mm, for horns;
- self-tapping screws, 30 pcs., 45 by 100 mm;
- bars with an inch section, 2 pcs., for amplifiers;
- means for protection against rotting, wood stain.
If desired, this list can be changed at your discretion, materials can be selected from the remaining details from past works.
You will also need the following accessories:
- soft pencil;
- mounting angle;
- simple hammer;
- hacksaw for wood;
- roulette for construction;
- incisors;
- a screwdriver with a nozzle in the form of a cross (you can take a flat one);
- paint brush about 5 cm long.
How are goats made of wood and metal?
To make the goats yourself, you first need to mount the beam to the base part. Places for 12 cuts should be marked on it, which should be located 6 pieces on each side.
The cuts should be about 2.5 cm deep - these are the holes where the horns and legs of the structure are placed.
With a cutter and a hammer, you need to select the places of the cuts, make them, and then insert bars that are suitable in size into the resulting grooves. They need to be secured with screws.
On bars with a section of 1 inch, places are marked for attaching amplifiers, which make the structure more durable and reduce the risk of breakage of the legs during sawing.
Then you should cut off the segments at the ends with a hacksaw and choose the length in accordance with the length of the legs, the ends of which should be cut off.
The machine made must be treated with anti-rotting agents and stain. After the structure dries, it can be used.
If you plan to use a two-handed saw, then the design of the goat for sawing firewood with your own hands changes, the drawings will have to be slightly adjusted in order to work comfortably.
For example, machine stands should be made of the highest quality strong wood; for screeds, metal puffs or a block of wood should be taken.
Usually, the width of the lower supports is made 15 cm more than the distance from the surface of the structure to the top of the screed bar.
In principle, such goats can be made from a drawing of a conventional design, changing only the material of the lower part.
Many are interested in how to make a metal goat for sawing firewood. This is explained by the fact that the metal structure can last much longer and takes up less space.
You can make such goats for firewood with your own hands, but the process will be a little more laborious.
To make a metal machine, you will need the following devices:
- profile pipe 50 by 50 mm;
- wooden block, 50 by 59 mm, with a length of about 10 cm;
- tape measure and centimeter for construction;
- angle grinder (can be replaced with a hacksaw);
- welding machine (can be replaced with bolts).
In accordance with the drawing drawn up earlier, where all the parameters are indicated, it is required to cut off the beam for the main part. On it you need to highlight the places where the legs and stags are attached.
Then you should cut the remaining elements of the future structure. After that, you need to select the type of connection.
If the goats for sawing are collapsible, then it is recommended to connect all the components with bolts. If the goats for sawing are planned to be of a stationary type, then it is better to weld the parts to each other.
A bar is attached to the pipe that connects the racks, with a size of 50 by 50 mm. This is to protect the metal surface when sawing occurs.
Making goats for sawing firewood from metal is not very profitable, because the price for a finished machine is almost the same.
At the same time, metal goats can be very different - there are smaller and larger models for large-scale production. It is necessary to choose a machine, based on what kind of wood will be sawn.
In stores you can find designs from Ukrainian and German manufacturers and Chinese options, which are considered the cheapest, but much less quality.
How to make a chainsaw machine and how to improve it?
A goat for sawing firewood with a chainsaw can also be made at home, or bought at a store. At the same time, many people prefer to make their own machine than to buy ready-made.
Currently, the chainsaw is used all the time, because it is easy to work with and the tool is relatively inexpensive.
In addition, with the help of a saw, logs and boards can be processed quickly and in large quantities. Therefore, many people ask how to make goats for sawing firewood with a chainsaw.
The design of this machine is different from the usual. When sawing with a power saw on a conventional trestle with X-shaped uprights, this can cause the chain to pinch.
Because of this, many craftsmen have to turn the logs themselves with the cut down to make the cut completely. In this case, it is better to cut the end of the board protruding from the machine.
As a rule, to cut something with a chainsaw, you need a metal machine. A gear-type gripper is installed on one end of the structure and a steel chain is welded.
In addition to the usual goats for working at home, there are machines for industrial enterprises that process large volumes of workpieces.
In such goats, all the material is folded in the form of a dense pile, then it is fixed with a special device so that nothing spreads. But such models of goats are much more expensive than usual and larger in size.
If you want to make the design more aesthetic, then you can draw up a new drawing, replacing the parts with more modern ones. Along with this, the characteristics of the device will also change.
You just need to remember that every detail needs to be changed in order for the structure to work properly. However, the general principle of making more modern goats remains the same - legs with horns and a base part.
Along with the details, the material will also have to be changed. Instead of a log, you need to use a wide board, which must be placed on edge.
In addition, the legs in the form of X should be made not from bars, but from a metal profile. You should make a typesetting board and apply an agent against fungus and mold on it.
You also need to attach the supports to the base part, you need to connect all this with bolts and a wing-type nut.
In addition, the horns of the machine must be bent at the required angle, which will create a space in which you can put a log of any size.
As a result, working with a tree on a goat will become more convenient. You can make the goats disassembled, which will allow you to transfer the machine to any place, even on the roof.
You can also fix a flat board on horizontal horns. The result is a kind of table on which you can put various tools while the machine is idle.
If such a design is done for the first time, then it should be remembered that the first beam is passed under the cross, and the rest are used to make fasteners for the legs.
Lubricate the nuts before use to protect them from corrosion.
We invite you to cut firewood on goats of various designs. Without such simple devices, wood harvesting turns into hard work. You can make goats for sawing firewood on your own and with pleasure prepare logs for a fireplace, stove. This article presents 3 types of goats: from simple wooden to metal. So, let's start with the simplest, but reliable and stable ones that you can knock down with your own hands in just a couple of hours.
Wooden goats for sawing logs (option 1)
Despite its simplicity, this design allows you to comfortably and quickly cut logs with a saw of any type. Classic firewood trestle consists of 3 pairs of crossed planks. However, a beam of 50x50 mm is used here, this will give better structural stability. The length of the beam is 1.1 m. The basis is a beam 100x100 mm 1.3 m long, and the spacers are a board 1.3 m. So, the goats consist of the following elements: "legs", "horns", base and spacers.
Step-by-step instruction
The log is placed in the space between the "horns" and sawn into logs of such length that they do not exceed the depth of the furnace or fireplace. Important: in order to avoid clamping the chain saw, you must turn the log with the cut down.
DIY wooden goats (option 2)
The second goat design is even simpler, but they can be less stable during operation. They are knocked down not from a bar, but from a board. You need to take 6 pcs. boards 1 m long and knock down 3 pairs of X-shaped. Crossing is done in the middle. Connect the boards with screws or nails.
The structure is fixed with crossbars made of boards 1.3 m long. In total, 4 of them are needed. (2 on one side, 2 on the other). The distance between the X-shaped pairs of boards depends on the length of the fixing crossbars: 2 pairs are attached to its ends, and the 3rd pair is in the middle. It remains to put the log into the resulting V-shaped opening and use the chainsaw to quickly harvest firewood.
Metal goats for sawing logs
A metal structure can also be quickly made with your own hands, and they will be more durable than wooden ones. For assembly, you need to take a steel pipe with a rectangular profile (side length 50 mm). To obtain a cross, 2 pipes are connected in the middle by welding. Determine the angle of overlap empirically according to your height.
It is necessary to make 3 crosses and strengthen them with each other with crossbars: horizontal and at a slope of 45º on each side. In this design, it is necessary to take into account what weight it will have in finished form. If it is too light, the product will be unstable when sawing the log, which will bring a lot of inconvenience. Also, when using a chainsaw, make sure that the teeth of the saw chain do not come into contact with metal. If you do not have the opportunity to assemble steel goats by welding, use bolts with nuts.
Despite the fact that wood sawing goats are a very simple design, they are machine tools. There are certain rules for their creation. RMNT will tell you what goats are used for preparing firewood, what and how you can make them yourself.
You should not confuse the goats for sawing firewood with construction ones. They have completely different purposes and designs. The goats for firewood should be such that it is convenient to put a log, sleeper, or other large piece of wood. And so that during sawing with a chainsaw or a hacksaw, our log does not fall anywhere, does not move out, it is securely held on the goats, and the working person has at least one hand free. Better yet, both.
It is not difficult to buy goats for sawing firewood. There are standard, traditional metal structures in the form of a log stand. They cost from 2000 rubles, they are simple and at the same time reliable, they are quite convenient. In addition, folding goats are popular today, which are conveniently stored in a barn. Usually they allow you to cut several layers of wood at once due to the increased height of the upper part. Such goats cost from 4 thousand rubles.
The most advanced option for today is goats in the form of a stand on which a bed for a log is installed. At the same time, the wood is held firmly, with teeth that are on the upper lifting part and below. Such a design will cost from 5 thousand rubles. It is these goats that are originally intended for sawing with a chainsaw, which must be held and guided with both hands.
Having decided to save money and simply not waste time searching, many home craftsmen make sawing goats with their own hands. For this purpose, you can use:
- Pillars made of wood, simply, quite thick and straight branches. The easiest option;
- Wooden beam;
- Old metal pipes;
- Metallic profile.
Goats are more reliable from metal, but welding may be required to create them.
The height of the goats should be such that it is convenient for a person to work, growth must be taken into account. The standard height is from 90 to 110 centimeters. Goats can be two-, three-, four-horn. The longer the structure, the more horns should be in order to securely fix the log. Usually the length of the goats does not exceed 200 centimeters.
The simplest design is two "X"-shaped joints, in which the lower part is higher, and a crossbar between them, fastened at the joints. But such double-horned sawhorses will not be very reliable and will not be suitable for sawing hardwood or large logs. Therefore, home-made structures are reinforced by installing additional horns and using strips between the “X” crosshairs of the main legs. The angle of connection of the horns is 45 degrees.
Experts believe that the most reliable fasteners in the case of using wood will be wood screws. They are better than ordinary nails. In the case of using a profile or pipes, respectively, metal screws should be used. Or weld goats for greater reliability. True, in this case they cannot be disassembled or folded.
Of course, for the construction of goats it is better to use electric tools, in particular, a screwdriver, as well as a jigsaw for cutting pieces of metal or timber of the desired size. A wooden structure can be treated with a stain, having previously been sanded. And paint the metal. However, usually home craftsmen do not care about the appearance of goats for sawing firewood. The main thing here is convenience and reliability.
Which of the men has never faced the need to saw a tree into logs in order to chop wood later? It is one thing if this is a one-time job, in nature, for a fire, where in unsuitable conditions to wave an ax is good for health.
Another thing is if this task needs to be performed with sufficient regularity. From ancient times, a device called goats was used to saw logs for firewood.
From a technical point of view, there is nothing difficult in it, and making goats for cutting firewood with your own hands is a couple of trifles. But before embarking on the manufacture of this particular goat design, it is worth considering the options.
Goats for manual sawing
It would seem that this simple device can be improved, and what parameters can be changed, except for the height, to make working on it more comfortable? In the old days, wooden logs were usually sawn by 2 people using a two-handed saw with large teeth.
They completely controlled the process and with their free hand held the ends of the log on both sides, and if necessary, they could put pressure on it so that the cut did not pinch the saw blade. And often, when sawing thick logs, they were finished a little more than to the middle and rotated 180 °. True, the cut at the same time was not very even, which created difficulties in installation during subsequent felling.
The distance between the cruciform racks of the goat was usually made a little less than twice the length of the furnace furnace, for which firewood was harvested.
And now such designs have not gone into oblivion, although they have been improved by adding a third cross for the convenience of working with a one-handed bow saw and reducing the distance between them to reduce the risk of clamping the saw blade.
In some metal goat structures, cloves appeared to better fix the logs, and their more traditional types were improved by adding sharp adjustable screw stops for the same purpose.
Work has become much more convenient. And, if you have a need for regular harvesting of a not very large amount of firewood, then this option for cutting them may well suit you.
Goats for sawing firewood with chain saws
But still, when we are dealing with large volumes of firewood, then torturing yourself with manual sawing of logs is a wasteful activity, in terms of time and physical costs. Gasoline and electric chain saws speed up the process tenfold and reduce physical labor.
But traditional goats are not suitable for working with them, due to the high risk of injury and tool breakage when clamping the saw bar in the cut. Of course, you can only saw logs that go beyond the dimensions of the goat, but at the same time you cannot achieve a rational cutting of logs. Therefore, to work with such saws, other devices were invented, which, according to tradition, retained the old name, although they bear little resemblance to their grandfathers.
The most simple goats for working with a chainsaw have a similar design.
Heavy stable base and a pair of horns for fixing the log. What else is needed? Sawing occurs beyond the dimensions of the structure, and the log in it is held by the foot. The productivity of work is low, but such goats are quite functional.
For sawing not thick logs, the most suitable, in our opinion, will be goats of a similar design:
Their only drawback is the unsawn logs of the lower row, but for large volumes this design flaw will not be fundamental. And you choose the dimensions of such goats depending on the same length of the firebox of your furnace, the length of the tire and the power of your saw. Their undoubted advantage is their quick disassembly, which makes it possible to simplify and speed up the removal of lumber.
A similar goat design, but with the ability to finish beams of logs to the end, due to the presence of transverse supports that provide a gap between the woodpile and the base of the goat, is shown in this video, but the lack of the ability to quickly disassemble this advantage to a certain extent.
Although you can turn it over to the end side, however, with a little more effort for this.
For thicker logs, a similar design will work, but with them fixed in the sawing container, which will not allow the logs to pinch the saw.
And the size of the chocks obtained in such goats can be minimal.
Not the most successful, as it seems to us, but quite a workable version of the device for sawing not very thick logs is shown in this photo:
The most valuable thing in this design of the goat is the stop template, which allows you to maintain the ideal height of the chocks, which is extremely important for small-sized furnaces.
Other goat options
The most widespread for sawing single thick logs with chain saws are various goat designs with fixation of the back of the log.
It is these, except for cruciform ones, that are most produced industrially.
Their designs are so simple that they do not need detailed descriptions, everything can be seen in the photo. Such goats for cutting firewood with their own hands can be made by any home craftsman who knows how to hold a tool in his hands. The main thing here is the ability to proportion the dimensions of the support platform to the size and weight of the sawn logs. It may not have a rectangular shape, or even completely replaced by stops. I liked this goat design for its simplicity and minimalism.
Or this option, designed for very thick, but not long logs:
And finally, we will present a wooden structure that is very successful for home-made, which is also guaranteed to ensure that the saw does not jam due to the small width between the stops of the goat at the cutting point.
In such goats, the log is laid with the same offset on the sides for stability, and sawn in the middle. Then do the same with the resulting pieces.
In all cases, when making a goat yourself, you choose the height individually, so that, first of all, it is convenient for you.
