How do you hold and cut up branches?

[austen5150]

Big difficulty I have when tackling an overgrown garden is getting rid of the branches from trees, shrubs. I need to cut the branches into manageable pieces quickly to take away to the Recycling Centre.

There appears to be no useful workbench for the task. Workmates are slow and unstable.

Any ideas on how to clamp and cut branches quickly?

I use a workmate I don't have any problems.
Depends on branch size, leave the jaws open slightly, you don't need to grip it tight.

what are you cutting them with?

use lopers and cut them on the tree or if they are bigger branches and youre not chainsaw savvy then buy a big bow saw and do the same.

Works for me. And if you know someone with a wood stove, they might do it for you for free. Just keep an eye on them, or your garden will be empty.

If you have a bit off wood 2x1 you can make a normal saw horse easily like this one.
