Thread: Cant hook

16th February 2008, 12:20 AM #16
As I have no support equipment, no hydraulics, no winches just my 2 arms and 1.5 legs (yeah 1.5 legs and no I didn't fail maths) I move all my logs by the help of a self-made cant hook and a very tired looking iron bar.
With the hook I've moved some weight. Just to brag the largest log moved with my hook has been a spotted gum 5.8m, small end dia 600mm and moved it up hill just over one full rotationI love my Lucas!! ...just ask me!

I have been meaning to make a cant hook for the last six months and even went as far as getting a tracing of Bob's but a lack of time has seen me fighting logs with a crowbar instead. I was wasting some time today while it was raining in a place called the Rustic Gallery, basically it is a second hand store/yard full of old agricultural steel and other relics. I am sure much of it ends up in sculptures and garden wall hangings so I was really happy to take this baby home and give it an extended life rather than it wasting away screwed to someones wall. $18 and a lump of 50 x 50 spotty I had lying in the shed and it works like a champion. Might have to paint it a nice shiney colour like Bob's so it doesn't hide in the sawdust. Judging by the wear on the link hole it has seen some work in it's time.

I was doing a search for log rollers to get some ideas and lo and behold, I found some more of Bob's handiwork on this forum.
G'day Bob, how are the cant/rollers going ?
Also wondering if anyone would care to comment on this one from eco saw.

They are going just fine. I use the little one a lot more than the big one, but when I need to move something BIG the big one is amazing what it can roll.

Here are my cant hooks both 6' long. The top one is an old original very heavy (with the sliding hook which is not that useful) The other one was, when I bought it, a bit of water pipe with the hook attached with a chain it was next to useless. I used it for years then when I got my Lucus I made a handle with the first log I milled (Tassi Blue Gum) and welded a couple of bits of angle on the end. It works realy good but I wish I had made it a bit lighter its 30% lighter than the other but could be less.
