  1. 19 Foot Long Pole Saw. Made it myself long pole saw for about $20. First you need to get lucky and find the right Saw blade. I happened to get real lucky and asked the right young lady @ Lowes for help. I got the last out of package reduced pull type limb saw that Lowes had for $ 3.90. Plus small bolts and wing nuts for $ 4. And the In expensive conduit for just a couple more bucks. One 10 footer ¾ inch & One 10 footer 1 inch in diameter. Total length is 19 feet it is a bit cumbersome to use, and just a bit heavy. Operator need to be patient and work slow. Its important the blade is a pull type blade. This means the blade only cuts the material when it is pulled towards you. Cutting on the push does not work well at 19 feet. Also use a wax type lubricant on the blade. This helps a great deal to make the job easier. Mount the blade @ that typical slight angle. I used a piece of broken sledge hammer handle inside the pipe to mount the blade. I turned it down on a lathe to fit, then cut the slot with a saws all. Two bolts with jam nuts to hold the blade tight. Ten cuts later, its all still tight so I think it turn out all right and cut’s fast to. Two bolts with wing nuts hold the two pipes together. I over lapped them about 1 foot. I can reach up over 20 feet and cut. When I store it I have the pole slid together. One Bolt and wing nut hold to two together the other bolt is just in the handle end so I know were it is. If or when I need it only half way extended I will drill those holes then.
