The design worked fairly well. It was well suited for the small scale (one
tree) operation I had going on. If I had to do several trees, I think I
would have to find some way to anchor the guide to the jig. The saw did tend
to get very heavy.

Saved for posterity. That is something I hope to get into, as soon as
they change the clocks to make 36 hour days. Are you happy with the
performance? Anything you'd change?
