    Hi, pity about hitting that retainer. While watching my creative problem solving kicked; you could make a modified, lower profile stop along the style of the chainsaw grippers. Make them so they have a screw in claw at a lower level, to tension into the outer layer of the log. The log is gripped, not just resting there. If you want to get flash, think about a gripper on long threaded rod, styled like the spring compressors in the auto repair shops, only the retaining saw hooks replace the spring hook. I hope that’s making sense. If you want I can sketch the ideas and email to you, I will check your shop email.

    Great to see the children helping. Noticed your Son wearing gloves when cutting the scrap wood up. Please, you should never wear gloves when working with power tools, especially when using drills and saws. The blade will catch the glove and pull the hand into it. In the case of drills, the drill can catch the glove and pull the hand into it

    Jacob, for my Ryobi chopsaw, I made a little material support block from scrap pieces of lumber that's the same height as the saw base, because when I was installing new baseboard trim on my new floating laminate planks, I found that trying to hold an 8ft stick of trim flat on the saw for a perfect 90deg vertical cut was exceedingly difficult, and outright impossible on a 12ft stick of trim. For that same project, I needed a taller fence on the saw as well, because I was using 3 1/2in tall trim, and thanks to the relief milled out on the back of the trim it would tilt over the top of the existing rip fence. So, I took a piece of 3/16" x 4" flat aluminum bar, drilled out & countersunk a couple of holes for mounting screws, then tapped the aluminum fence on the saw to hold the taller piece. That modification gave me a taller AND longer rip fence for greater precision. Of course, the new piece has to stop on both sides of the blade channel, and the new fence on the right side where the motor casing is got a 45deg notch to allow the saw to fully tilt for compound cuts.
