A saw buck has a template for cutting lumber into various desired length pieces. The saw buck uses a pair of front legs each attached to a respective one of a pair of back legs in A-framed configuration with a plate attached to each back leg. The plate has one or more notches and has two or more cradles attached thereto, either between and end of the plate and a notch or between notches. At least some of the log cradles are of different lengths relative to one another and at least some may move laterally relative to one another. A rope if provided for lumber securement.

A sawhorse includes a modular work surface supported by a frame. The modular work surface includes a first side portion, a second side portion and a central portion. The modular work surface is configured to move between a compact configuration and an expanded configuration. In the compact configuration the first side portion and the second side portion are adjacent to one another to provide a compact worktop and the central portion is positioned beneath the compact worktop. In the expanded configuration, the first side portion and the second side portion are distal to one another and the central portion is positioned therebetween to create an expanded worktop.

An electric chainsaw comprises: a first handle having a forwardly and rearwardly extending grip portion provided on a rear or upper portion of a housing housing an electric motor and configured to be gripped by one hand of a worker, the grip portion being provided with a trigger switch for activating the electric motor; a second handle having a laterally extending grip portion provided forward of the grip portion of the first handle and configured to be gripped by the other hand of the worker; an indicator lamp for indicating a remaining charge amount of a battery pack; and a push-button type indicator switch for causing the indicator lamp to indicate the remaining charge amount, wherein the indicator switch is provided at a position where the worker can operate the indicator switch by a finger of the other hand being gripping the grip portion of the second handle.

A timber processing system includes a frame including a mount for attaching to a skid steer, tractor, excavator, or the like; and a grapple attached to the frame for moving timber pieces into place for cutting by a saw.

An equipment stabilizer for a pull cord start that secures a piece of equipment, such as a chain saw, to a base plate via lockable jig clamps and assists in pulling the pull cord start by providing a pulley operated by a foot pedal. Ratchet straps pass through a horizontal slot through the base plate. An upright beam on the base plate front side has vertically aligned apertures proximal an upper side thereof for spring tension adjustment. A pulley operationally connects a pedal member of the foot pedal to a handle of the pull cord start. Pressing on the pedal member while holding onto the vertical beam moves the pull cord start handle toward the wheel end to start a motor of the piece of equipment.

A chainsaw includes a housing having a handle housing portion, a motor housing portion, and a drive housing portion. The handle housing portion has a longitudinal axis that defines a first axis of the chainsaw. The chainsaw also includes a motor having an output shaft with a longitudinal axis that defines a second axis of the chainsaw, a driven gear coupled to the output shaft, a sprocket coupled to the driven gear, and a guide bar extending from the drive housing portion and having a longitudinal axis that defines a third axis of the chainsaw. A chain is supported on the guide bar and engaged with the sprocket. The first axis, the second axis, and the third axis are generally coplanar, and the first axis and the second axis define a first included angle between about 75 degrees and about 95 degrees.

A mechanism for reducing time-lost to tedious but necessary adjustments while using a chainsaw is disclosed, as well as methods of manufacture and use. An embodiment has a metal part fitting inside a plastic handle portion, where the two are sometimes assembled in two halves and then pressed molded or fastened together, in the form of a pull-handle positioned at the end of a starter-cord on a chainsaw. Another embodiment has the metal part containing a flat-blade screwdriver surface at one end, which matches and mates with some type of slotted adjustment fixture within the chainsaw; and where the other end has a socket wrench which matches up with an adjustment bolt within the chainsaw. Yet another embodiment has a dog-bone (socket) wrench fitting at one end, and a flat-blade at the other end.

A vegetation pruning device includes a pair of pivotably coupled handles and a motor having a rotary output drive for driving an endless flexible cutting chain. A guard is moved relative to the chain by pivoting of the handles relative to each other to grip vegetation between the guard and the chain. The motor is actuated by pressing each of a pair of elongate triggers at any position along the length of the triggers.
