Attention LogRite Tool Owners!

Jeff · August 30, 2012, 10:55:33 AM

Hey everybody, I need some help from the Forestry Forum membership. I am currently working a a brand spanking new website for LogRite Tools and I would like to include some real life photos of the tools with it's owner or in it's working environment and/or better yet, an action shot of the tool in use. I need pictures for the cant hooks, peaveys, hookaroons, logstands, Arches, saws, sawbuck, log scales, what ever you may have. I'd like you to post the photos in this topic along with the tool model name and length if that applies.I may ask for the original to be emailed to me so I have a higher resolution photo to work from as well.

There are a couple three stipulations on the photos.
1. The tool must be in the logrite blue color. We can't use the specialty colors for this.
2. The tool must be one with the newer logo on it, if the logo is visible in the photo.
3. We can't have competitor tools in the photo, unless its some sort of decrepit old tool that obviously isn't being used any longer. There are several photos on the forum that are pretty good, accept they are taken in a grouping with their wood handled counterparts the owner may still be using.

Thanks!!

Left me out with first rule.

Magicman · August 30, 2012, 11:43:40 AM

Here are all that I have:

Of course, mine has reflective orange tape on it.

The last 3 don't look like they are in a working environment yet. Just a happy environment.

Lynn, are those all 60"? Maybe the first one in the log a 48? Which are cant hooks in the log shots and which are peaveys?

Jemclimber · August 30, 2012, 12:33:50 PM

Leaves me out, mine are orange.

WH_Conley · August 30, 2012, 02:03:22 PM

Not sure if mine have enough paint left on them to call them blue or silver.

Jeff, all of the pictures are of the same 60" cant hook. My two 48's are orange. All of the rest of my pictures have the orange 48's somewhere in the picture.

I can take some action shots this afternoon or tomorrow if you wish. I could use different logs and people, but they would all be of the same 60" cant hook.

I'm old and cheap so all of mine are wood handles.

Bibbyman, I found a photo of Mary using a Logrite Scale Stick. Any chance you have the original photo yet?

We should be able to get you a few pics at the "Sycamore project". It might even be fun to see who we can get to pose. ;D

I don't know how many I can use, but I'd find a way to use something! 8)

customsawyer · August 30, 2012, 06:57:33 PM

You could come on down and take your own pics. ;D

Jeff · August 30, 2012, 07:56:48 PM

That was discussed and seriously considered by Burlkraft and myself. It almost came to be, but I had to make an economics choice of coming down there and not being able to go to the U.P. the rest of the year, or being able to go up to the U.P. a few more times and take care of my land and hunt. The Sycamore lost. ;)

How much gas money do you need Boss?

Corley5 · August 30, 2012, 08:44:17 PM

I've got a well used Logrite cant hook and hookaroon at the firewood machine. The stickers are long gone if they ever had any. I'll get some action pics when I get home

WDH · August 30, 2012, 08:58:52 PM

Here are a few:

The 78" MegaHook Cant Hook.

The 78" MegaHook and the 60" Cant Hook

Again, the 78" MegaHook and the 60" Cant Hook.

Another of the 78" MegaHook Cant Hook.

Here is an action shop of the 60" Peavy.

60" Peavy (they are handy to stick in the ground so you don't have to bend over to pick them up).

This is the normal work enviorment for my logrite cant hook. In my hand that is. 48''. Oh and it works the best. PC

Okrafarmer · August 30, 2012, 11:22:54 PM

I like your mustache, Paul, I have one to match. I wish I had a cant hook to match. :-\

Bought mine from Wood-Mizer and it is an orange LOGRITE made in USA.

redbeard · August 31, 2012, 01:13:12 AM

60" cant hook hanging on sawmill cover shed, I like to stow it like this makes it easy to grab when I need it.

Migal · August 31, 2012, 01:19:51 AM

Mine is orange as well but Dang good Craftmanship. oh on the LogRite topic I sure like ( https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/14370/Picture_004.jpg ) Now that's Logging Right 8)

T Welsh · August 31, 2012, 04:21:45 AM

Jeff, I do not know if these will work for you. You may have to crop and move in on them. I was at a custom job with no loader and had this egg shaped red Oak that I could not roll unto the mill. Had to dig the LogRite into the log and put the 12000 lb. winch on it and roll it unto the lift arms of the mill. It certainly is not the correct way of using the hook, but it speaks volumes for the tool. I was by myself and had no other choice. Tim

Ga_Boy · August 31, 2012, 06:23:55 AM

Jeff,

Tried to upload a picture in Dan Shade's gallery but old not do this on an IPad.

The picture caption is "Logrite can't".

It's the picture of a me hanging off a mega hook. Dan has the original picture. No logo but it's Logrite blue.
