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!!

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.

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.

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

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.

Yep Dan those are the pictures.  We did have a great time on that job.   

WDH, I like those pictures also.  They were taken at the end of the day, we were goofing around before we unloaded that log.  It weighed 10,000 pounds.  We needed to catch our breath before we started trying to get to to roll off the trailer.

I want to get myself a hookaroon eventually!

I think I would get a 24" (or so), because I am usually reaching for flitches on the loading arms, waiting to be edged!

Actually a 12" would get me by, because the flitches are only a couple of inches away when I reach across the mill.
