Last week I found myself having to cut some wood.
We had a "ribbon" saw made with a chain from a power chain saw .
It worked but took some time and a lot of energy to do it.
(we dad several branches about 3-6" thick)
So I thought of making my own .
What I wanted was something light and small, easy to pack and assemble and good enough to cut the type of wood we had.
This is the result , The Little Ripper.
Made with some aluminium, 3 screws and wing nuts, a wood/metal blade , some OmniTape and a piece of protective wrapper .
So apart from size and weight , cost was important .
It works...


just under 100g/3.5 oz
I might shoot a short YouTube clip just to inspire someone else to make something like this.
