[perry]

what kind of setup do you guys use to hold your logs when cutting. i am looking for a decent setup that i can put a log in and cut away at it. tierd of cutting at ground level.

this saw horse setup does'nt look to bad.

I think you may be looking for a saw buck. A simple design can be found here

farm show paper just had a pic of one sold by Stihl in Germany. It was a metal angle iron frame with v notch ln the left side. abotu a foot outside of that there was another V shaped thing upside down over the top. The log stuck in like this crude sketch. Cantilevered out in space to cut if off. Appeared more for 6 inch or smaller, and maybe 6 ft long. Might be good for a hand saw where handling is a few seconds, then a lot of hand cutting, but seemed like a lot of handling when using a power saw when cutting is just a few sec onds.
