Getting ready for my upcoming trip to Norway in January I started to look for a decent bushsaw but decided that they were all a bit too heavy big or complex for the 15kg weight limit on RyanAir so I decided to make my own.
The design is based on a photo I found on the web. The idea is that the uprights and crosspiece will fold together to both protect the blade and prevent it from catching on stuff in the rucksack. Folded up it is 21" long ( ie blade length) and 20 x 65mm, weight is 325g.
Its made of some Tasmanian hardwood (Oak I think) that I found at work in a sample.
Finished it tonight so I have yet to try it out.
If anybody would like the plans pm me and ill send a pdf or if you prefer I can send dwg, dxf or dgn format.
Cheers
Nick
