After seeing the Hegner saw stands it has always seemed to me that the saw is mounted backwards. If the single leg faced the operator, the operators knees would slip comfortably around it. Unless wearing a kilt or dress of course. As it is presently mounted do not your shins contact the cross piece. This not an earth shaking problem for me since I do not own a Hegner. I do however, own a couple Hawks and have often thought If I were to design a stand it would be triangular and always be stable and more comfortable. But then, alas, what do I know?
