Thank you Rtb, funnily enough that Husqvarna is the exact one we were looking at. Sounds the biz and you use it for similar jobs we shall need to do. We shall investigate it further
For the sawhorse, we borrowed one from a friend last year which has a place to attach the chainsaw to the horse, so it can be used with one hand pivoting the saw, and the other hand is used to control the log, which rests in a trough. I can't see one for sale so far.
We have most of the safety equipment but not the breeks - definitely needed. My first patient in an A&E setting when I was an undergrad was a forester on his first day. He had no safety equipment (H&S was a bit lax back then) and the saw had slipped and degloved the front of his leg. Gross! It was also the end of his job, with no sick pay
We can't afford any injuries. It's like a crash helmet on the bike - what is your head worth? - certainly more than the best helmet available.
Modified: there does seem to be that type of saw horse available after all and not too expensive. I don't know how sturdy they are.
