Log Dogs?

[Bullheaded]

Anyone have a link to the guy making the welded up pointy log dogs for scribing and blocking round logs? I need a couple sets.

No-one has a source for these?

Check Schroeder's Log Home Supply.

They both have their place in a log yard.

How do you use these exactly?

The long type have chisel shaped ends, at 90° to each other. This is so they can be driven into the 2 alternating logs being worked at a corner notch, and both legs can be driven in with the grain. 

 The other type, which I prefer, just sit on top of the log that is being notched over. They can be oriented with the points facing away from the log being worked, so that you can turn the log. Or you can turn the point on one toward the log, so that once you get it turned to the place you want it won't roll back. You can turn both points in to lock the log in place.
