    Throw logs: [​IMG] Collect beneath: [​IMG]

    Sawmill underground, two trapdoors so you can throw down logs, ladder in the middle so you don't fall down.
    Horizontal door beneath so you can collect your wood!

    Of course, this probably works even better with trap blocks instead of trapdoors and ladders - so enemies can fall in, but it's harder to throw down the logs.

    This is basically the design I always used for sawmills in the closed beta, although I always made mine look even prettier. :P

    But really, I would spend hours labouring over my base only to get killed by a shark I accidentally let out of a crate. ;-;

    This one is very efficient and quicker,you throw the logs up and the wood falls down.

    Saw this one today, I like it's simplicity but so often I accidentally pickup the saw instead of the wood.

    Not sure if anyone has posted a design like this but this is how I make mine, maybe with Storage below.
    The two layers of wood (stone) are to prevent you from picking up the saw while dropping in the logs.

    I like to build funnels on-top of the saw so the logs can be easily thrown in. A few get stuck, but I find the speed makes up for that.

    If only we had slope blocks...

    They would also be useful for launching boats.

    Just wood I guess with the saw underground, I haven't played many matches yet though, only a bit of sandbox; singleplayer and multiplayer.
