Sawbuck review

Overall performance:  good.  It stood up quite sturdily while I haggled off a two-foot chunk of the log shown in my last post, despite the !fail noted below.

Needs work:  the movable center support is still tight, and you have to hammer it with a mallet to get it to move.  This may get better with use and time.

!Fail:  the chains and hooks that are supposed to keep it from collapsing are WAY too light-gauge for the job, and pulled themselves to bits.  A trip to the Despot to look for heavier chain is in order (I already have heavier gauge hooks).

Unrelated !fail:  My old Homelite XL chainsaw is too light for chopping up these logs, and its auto chain-oiler leaks like a sumbitch.  Wonder is that the saw didn’t catch fire from all the random drips being thrown round.

 

Her licensed fringe malfunctions above a certain terrorist.  Fnord.
