New saw on the really big planks

I had already found out that my new saw goes through sizeable wood like a hot knife through butter. But I hadn't tried the really really big planks yet. The planks that had been the steps of Neuadd Ogwen’s temporary stairs. I didn't think the actual saw blade would struggle at all, but I was wondering how I would put the planks in position. I have mounted the saw diagonally, so you can't just lay a long plank under its blade. On one side so much will stick out that it will fall off altogether! How to solve that?

I have a sawhorse, which is worth every penny I paid for it, and then some. And I figured I might be able to use that as a side table. And it worked! If you fold it in a bit, it is just the right height. You can balance the plank on it, and then saw it. So I tackled both of the huge plank I still had.

I still have several equally long, but narrower and therefore lighter, planks from the same stairs. That should be even easier to deal with. So just half an hour with the saw, whatever the size of the wood I am dealing with, gets me enough wood to last me for a while! I will easily get to the end of winter this way. And once spring comes, I can start replenishing again…found out that my new saw goes through sizeable wood like a hot knife through butter
