Logrite makes the best cant hooks. Not sure if they're available in Germany or not, but I'm pretty sure you can find some good power equipment with the name Stihl on it! Good luck!

   Read all the Sawmills and Milling posts on the Forestry Forum. Go visit others milling logs and observe and ask questions.

Just dive in and start cutting.  Yes you will make some mistakes but hopefully you will learn from them. There is no substitute for on the job training.

Use the search box in the upper right corner-top of page.  Years and years of postings. Plenty of information.
