Anyone got any recommendations for a saw horse to hold logs for cutting
with a chain saw?

Seen a cheap one at Amazon with mixed reviews, and some more expensive
ones.
The cheap one seems to be designed to cut the log within the saw horse -
various comments about using a piece of 2*2 to protect the chainsaw from
the metal.

I was thinking of one where the log stuck out from the end to give a
clean cut, but this gives balance problems when you are cutting a log in
half with 50% of the log sticking out of the end of the saw horse.
So I was looking for something with a securing clamp to hold the log.

looks interesting but is £80 which is a non-trivial price.
Also looks remarkably similat to the Makita one

So, recommendations anyone?
