I made a homemade log lifter with a hand crank winch . #offgrid #logging #chainsaw #chainsawmill #wood #woodworking #loglift #loglifter #strength #muscle
That was a disappointment. Even though you winded it up with one hand, I saw the need for at least four hands doing the job! And you only used tools anyone within forestry would have already, in completely standard ways. Anyone that could actually benefit from the knowledge, would have learned nothing. You are even setting a horrible examble with using no PPE at all, while handling the chainsaw. 😕
@markyoungoutdoors2497 Really? I could also lift that log with one hand, sitting in my excavator. But it defies the whole point of why one would look for such a video. I searched, to find ways to handle logs ALONE, where I have no machinery available. Title seems to promise that. But the video does not deliver!
@markyoungoutdoors2497 That said, I'll admit that my personal disappointment over not getting what I expected overshadowed the achievement of having built such a tool. I bought a very similar device from Logosol. I would currently not have the means to build one myself. Same thing could be achieved with a standard farm-jack, which are way easier to find. Or a tripod with a chain hoist. The latter could actually be operated with one hand, if you had to. And you could even leave it elevated, to put the cone in place yourself. Not practical, but doable.
@@BusterCreekOutdoors Hi greetings from the Lower Hunter Valley in New South Wales Australia . Did you make it ? Or can you buy them ? I am in desperate need of one . There is a guy on utube called Surviving Ringworm, he’s got a bought one very similar but he reckons they are no longer made . Any information on it I would greatly appreciate. Cheers
@@BusterCreekOutdoors I just went down to the local steel shop and showed them this setup in action . They loved it !! We figured out the basics and I will attempt to put one together . Many thanks . Cheers Thomas
@@peterellis4262 name calling is what you do when you can’t debate a point. What about taking proper safety precautions was inaccurate or bad advice? There’s a responsibility to viewers to not lead them to catastrophe. Be responsible.
If I were to use a jack like that on my sand, I would need to put a paver under the foot, or it would just punch a hole in the ground. Still, I could probably use one...
This is more of a training video of how NOT to work with 1400lb logs. No safety equipment, rolling logs while standing next to them instead of away from the roll directions, chainsaw bar almost got pinched, the helper was betting his lower body parts on the cones holding, hammering the lift hook without any retaining contingencies was a huge risk. If the log would have fallen from even 6in off the ground no telling which direction it would have rolled, had the lift hook come out the log no telling how far back the jack would rocket, but safe to say the log rolling or dropping onto any human body part would require reconstructive surgery if not amputation. Logs are round and tend to roll, except when on top of you then it takes a tractor to budge them. Having one guy to help another stuck under a log is futile. The guy stuck would be there until fire crews could extract him safely. Good safety preparedness video of what not to do. The music sounds like a bombing raid siren, fitting, danger danger danger! Silver lining is that this showcases the issues inherent in taking unqualified guidance on UA-cam.
“Safety” - to some a smart idea, to others just nauseating gobblygook. I admitted it was a good video and carefully described its rare value. What not to do is key wisdom. Commenting = caring.
I love this this is making the job get done with reasonable resources that the common handy man with common since could consider doing. Engineering is a great thing balls to use the tool is another and that’s what makes us men men great video! Maybe use some bracing or smaller increments to each side and these people won’t have such a problem!
So by "one hand" you actually meant two hands and a special tool the average person doesn't have.
I think I should paint my peevy orange like that. Might keep me from losing it so often ;)
awesome idea!
It sure saves the back !
Good very nice

It's forestry work, there's going to be forestry tools, get the right tools or piss off.
This is easily the best ,simplest and most effective method of log moving on utube .
Market them ... I would buy one .
Thanks for watching! And it comes in very handy

@@xxxchurch100 I made this one and have never seen one like it for sale ever before..

Last question, what the heck are those plastic stands you lay the log on ? They are way cool, I haven’t ever seen anything like them .
Cheers
Great ingenuity but the background noise is hideous, redo it with something better & you’ll probably get more likes.
I'm even more impressed that those flimsy party hat traffic cones took 700lb each
They are pipeline tubs and made to hold thousands of pounds
@@BusterCreekOutdoorsnot good enough to bet your legs on without secondary failsafes.
@@BusterCreekOutdoors where can you buy these from?
@@alexandermayerkirstein or maybe they are. Do you actually know what you're talking about, or are you just an internet troll?

Very cool my friend!
Thanks !

I hear OSHA is hiring, go put in an application.
