One is a 10" buzz saw and the other is a 20" reciprocating saw on a 18" post ..........  :o

Been there, done that and if I had to do it tomorrow that's how I'd still do it.

Well, at least as long as the handsaw is sharp.

A beam saw [15"] is a little better if it's on the job but still a 2 sided cut. 

Sedgehammer

Done . That's a lot of sawin I'll say

When I built the first loft in my shop they were 8x10 posts and I had nothing to cut them with properly, so I used the same method as you. They were pine. When I built the second loft I used Maple posts and they were 6x8 posts. But I borrowed a timber saw (16") and it was really sweet to lop them off in one cut.
 Nice work, that's gonna look sweet!

Around here we would have have gotten the chain saw out. No one I know has a timber saw.

It was threatened . If it didn't to be dead nuts on , chain saw it is . I was going to build a jig for it . Use a longer bar , put a bearing as close to the motor you can on a plate . That plate is mounted to a flat metal plate welded on 2x2s likely . square it up , make sure the chain is sharp and cut away
