Well, last week, this thread was enough inspiration for me to get off my rump and do a project i have been planning and thinking about for longer than i care to admit. I made it from left over oak hardwood flooring. The screws and wing nuts are stainless and were also leftovers. I had to buy a blade. I chose the 21" over a 24 so it will fit in a pack a little easier. I picked up the blade at a local true value hardware for $4.99. Thats it, i got a whole 5 bucks into this thing. Here is the out come!
Bundled together, i think i may have to make a canvas bag similar to Tradewaters in post #9. All together like this it weighs in at 12.4 Ounces.

Ready to cut (it has about a 6" throat):
I only had time to cut one branch with it (about 4" diameter), and it worked great. However, i think it would be a little more comfortable if i rounded out the handle areas a little more. So far all i did was knock the corners off.
Wow! I like that a lot. Good job!
