I purchased an electric chain saw and decided to build a safe and comfortable stand to use it. I saw David Ellsworth use one that he designed, in a video not long ago, and I saw another one on YouTube. I used elements of both and made a few changes of my own. I have only used it on a few logs so far, but it is working well for me. I extended 3 of the legs to create a tripod effect for more stability on uneven ground. I made the angled supports 30 degrees instead of 45 degrees to accommodate larger diameter logs and perhaps have less pinching of the chain at the end of the cut. I put the horizontal support parallel and at the same height as the cradle so longer pieces can be supported while cutting the ends off. One suggestion when making your own is to match your chainsaw bar length with the cradle length, so you can use the teeth on the saw body for leverage when slicing the log. If you haven't seen the YouTube video, the idea is to use a bar clamp to hold the halved logs over the end to cut the corners off to create the bowl blank. The station is 3' long, made of all 2x4s except the cradle uses 2x10s. I used dowels to anchor the cradle pieces, all the other fasteners are #10 wood screws or deck screws.
