Trailer hitch attachment

A method of cutting a piece of wood, the method comprising:

• (a) providing a jaw apparatus that includes:
• (i) a generally straight main shaft defining a shaft axis and having a first end and a second end, the first end having an insertion portion,
• (ii) an indentation structure coupled to the second end of the main shaft, the indentation structure forming an indentation having interior surfaces that extend upwardly and away from the main shaft, and
• (iii) two or more bars coupled to the main shaft at a bar connection location between the first and second ends of the main shaft, each of the two or more bars extending upwardly and away from the main shaft in a direction toward the second end of the main shaft, wherein at least two of the two or more bars are both generally straight and extend generally parallel to one another;
• (b) inserting the insertion portion of the jaw apparatus into a trailer-hitch-like receptacle that is affixed to an anchor;
• (c) securing the piece of wood in the jaw apparatus such that
• (i) the interior surfaces of the indentation structure's indentation exert upward force on the piece of wood,
• (ii) a downward facing surface of each of the two or more bars exerts downward force on the piece of wood, and
• (iii) a free end of the piece of wood extends beyond the second end of the main shaft;
• and
• (d) cutting the piece of wood between the free end of the piece of wood and the second end of the main shaft.

A kit for assembling a jaw apparatus that is adapted to receive and hold a piece of wood to assist a user in cutting the piece of wood, the kit including:

• (a) a main shaft defining a shaft axis and having a first end and a second end, the first end having an insertion portion configured to be inserted into a trailer-hitch-like receptacle;
• (b) an indentation structure adapted to be coupled to the second end of the main shaft such that, when so coupled, the indentation structure forms an indentation having interior surfaces that (i) extend upwardly and away from the main shaft and (ii) are configured to exert upward force on the piece of wood when received in the jaw apparatus;
• (c) two or more bars adapted to be coupled to the main shaft at a bar connection location between the first and second ends of the main shaft such that, when so coupled, each of the two or more bars (i) extend upwardly and away from the main shaft in a direction toward the second end of the main shaft and (ii) have a downward facing surface configured to exert downward force on the piece of wood when received in the jaw apparatus, wherein at least two of the two or more bars are both generally straight and extend generally parallel to one another;
• and
• (d) instructions for coupling the indentation structure and the two or more bars to the main shaft to form the jaw apparatus.
