Sheesh - complicated or what.
Mine is simple and efficient.
Imagine a shoebox, standing on end. Remove the top, and insert a 'comb' of
slots.
at an angle of , oh, 20 degrees. a bit less than the typical angle where handl
e
meets blade.
You place a saw, teeth facing you, into a slot of the 'comb', and the angle of
the
handle
interfaces to the 'comb, and keeps it just fine.
For variation, you can add a folding top and front, but mine is just the open
front
mounted on the wall.
Oh - and larger than an actual shoebox of course...
