    We called it a pipe cart because that what we hauled with it . It was made out of pipe no fansy square tube. It was surprising what one man could haul with it. I am glad you are doing some smart thinking. You can get a lot more work out of Brenda. PS don't let her read this or she will ban me . But you are the one who will really get in trouble. Keep working I love it.

    Consider adding additional support from the legs to the spine just in case a wheel is caught and pulled backwards when towing.

    I also built a log arch earlier this year, they work great. If you welded a hook for the end of the strap to hook to instead of hooking back onto the strap you would double the capacity of the winch and would make it much easier to crank. Also, according to my log app that birch you hauled weighed 2000 lbs. I love my log arch I'm sure you are going to get a ton of use out of yours. Job well done!

    log arches are the best for moving logs around as well as pulling them out of the woods. Looks fantastic. you are going to need to brace up those legs though over time stress at the top of the arch will tear through the tubing hauling 1 ton logs.

    Great job… but you don’t need the winch. Just tip up the end of the arch and wrap the chain around the log. Then pull down the arch and your good. Voila… Leverage!

    If you are operating the log arch with two persons - maybe build a second one and switch only the arch. One remains at the log spot and hooks up the log, the other one concentrates on transport. Full home, empty, Bach to Forrest, switch log arch, back home. Log arch remains at Forrest, gets loaded and waits for transporter getting back. Switch log arch and the game continues - until it’s dark.

    I simply hook up one end of my logs to my 700ccm quad and the other end attached on an old dolly cart and drag them out of the woods; works just fine. Another useful tool I used to built my log home was a chainsaw winch.

    Lock and Lube works great. Does any body know if black iron pipe ,like is used for oil tanks is really iron Or is it steel? Can it be welded? I have a big pile I want to use up. Making a log arch myself Steel is very expensive unless u get it at the junk yard. I think u pull from the big end. Tire cap is important.
