All truth passes through three stages:

   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

 ::) Fla._Dh.  Can just say...............there is no single reason why my turner/clamp shouldn´t work much better than Your simple stuff. ;D
Do you only saw perfect logs down there? :D :D :D Do You run them in a turner before get them upto the HomeMizer? ;D

Mine is made in two parts, one (V-shaped) swinging up/down by a hydr. cylinder. The other (arm with a plate) is swinging by an other cylinder but also forced towards the log by two springs, now much stronger than on the picture. Thats why the hole for the cylinders "rear" bolt is not round, the bolt can slide in the hole while the springs are working/log is turning. See, that cylinders stroke is 6" and the hole is 4x3/4".
With the V-shaped part down and the plate puched I can clamp a log 5x5".

Pulling the wrong level a big log can jump up in one end and get placed ACROSS the frame. :D :D The audience use to love it, I don´t. smiley_blush
Can You do that Turn-a-cross? ;D

  That's the beauty of them sunken logs, Swede. They ARE perfect ::) ;D ;D

  We load the skids with the backhoe or the truck. From there, we use the cant hook and the hydraulic loader on the mill. We have no "Turner" , just cant hooks.

  We saw from 24" long to 24' long. We saw from 6" dia. to 37" dia. That clamp works for all sizes and shapes. We saw curved logs for Tables and Benches and we saw angled logs for oval shaped pieces. The clamp will lift any weight, then we use the cant hook, once the turn has been started. It will not turn a log or cant 90°, unless I take time to mess around with it. It does work slow, but, we haven't pitched a log off the wrong side, yet. ;D ;D
