I was successful enough in Jeff's PR "Poston" game to win 4th place which netted me another 60" Logrite Cant Hook, but it needed some slight modifications before it could join my team.


 
First it needed my customary Reflective Orange Tape, so a bit of cleaning was necessary.  Next, I wanted to dip the handle end to protect it against being damaged.


 
The cushion rubber handles got a coat of rubber cement so that the plastic dip would adhere.


 
And then it was a series of dips into this.


 
To get a nice buildup.


 
I also gave the old Logrites another dip.

The Magicman liquid translations . For adding dish soap to water he uses Glugs.  Now the question is how many plastic dips does it take ?

For some reason I can tell some people just don't have anything better to do with all this rain us south bound people are getting. ;D

I own you one Lynn. ;D

I want to just stand back a safe distance and watch you use all of those.

Ordered mine last night and it still hasn't arrived. Shouldn't a helicopter be flying over by now?

I would like to ''saw'' one of them at my place so he could ''leave 'em''.

Nice score. If it was anything to do with DP, I thought it would cost $300.

I thought seriously about getting another 60" when we were at Logrite in July.  The 48" works well with small logs and logs up to ~30".  Logs larger than ~30" need the larger hook as well as the extra length of the 60" to manage them.  I now have two of each.   ;D

Thats a purdy good idear for the ends, but, I like to have the hole on the end open to use the 60" logrite as a cheater pipe.  Works good when ya need it
Boy, back in my day..

Sure is purdy I just wish I had just one LOL I have to wait till next weekend to get one. I have a friend going to Booneville show and he will pick me up one. These logs are heavy and I think I am getting to old to wrestle these logs around by hand.

Can't believe you guys like those fat pipe cant hooks. If you had to use one all day long , all week you would hate them.

Maybe you can't but I certainly can.  Yup, they are perfectly sized to handle the logs that they are designed for.  The sawmill specials have a smaller handle with a bat knob on the end and are for turning lighter weight logs and cants.  The others have man sized handles with a cushion grip that are far superior to wooden handled hooks and peaveys for turning and adjusting larger and heavier logs.

Most of us do or have. Maybe you could get them to build you a junior sized model.

Geez MM, you want to sell one? :)

Please save one of those poor, abused LogRites. Look at that stable of scars! The only one not showing evidence of maltreatment is the new one, and we all know its fate as soon as the rain stops. This man even brags about force-feeding them alcohol and compressed air! I expect to see tearful tv commercials about LogRite rescues any day now. Operators are standing by.

There are no wimps allowed in my crowd.  You gotta carry your load or it's out of the kitchen for you.

I have more scars that those hooks will ever see. :-\   :D

I have a blackened log rite cant hook that will hook them from around the corner.
MM, may you be so fortunate to never have any of yours blackened in the same way as mine.
It may be the only one with such a resume'. No wood handled anything could make it through a barn fire.

There is a second Blackened Logrite in existence that was blackened in the same fire.


 
It is being shown here by it's previous owner, our late member Willie Steele. (wwsjr)


 
It is shown here by it's present owner, Marty.  Since Willie bent it, we decided to leave it bent.

I have looked at that first picture several times and still cant decide if its the grin on your face or the proportion of the Logrite to you that makes you look like a little kid in that picture. Either way you look like a very happy kid at Christmas.
