Finally got the video of my homebuilt hydraulic log rotator. It only shows rotation towards but can also rotate away.

Looks very functional. I wouldn't mind seeing the rest of that video! Something captivating about watching an old circular mill run

That is a great addition!  The video is fascinating!

Old western mills might have hooks and shove arms on the log deck that can pull the cant ,with a quarter turn, off the carriage and shove it back on. In the east you mostly turn up but there are turners that do both.
