It is great to see it in action!

It is great seeing in actually work after seeing it at the shop!

That's a handy bit of kit . One man operation too 👍

Thank you so much for sharing Glenn 👌🙏 videos on your Instagram are fantastic as well👍💪

I can't believe how well your trailer set up works! You really have it down pat! Thank you for sharing your process and all of your amazing skills!

Thank you Jeff

Now that's a nice trailer👍👍👍👍

That’s working well. And definitely will be making a wireless remote for my winch too. And might set too and weld up a quick arch as well. I have a couple of jobs it would simplify. Thanks for showing it in action.

I don't have pictures, but I have a friend who has a flat bed trailer he uses to haul any good logs he can get free or cheap. He made a smooth ramp with raised edges that's about eight feet long to slide logs up onto the trailer. This trailer is also used to haul firewood, lumber, and so forth. It's also big enough to haul small cars. The trailer already had a powerful winch, and all that was necessary to add to it other than the slick smooth ramp is a piece of pipe which sits securely in a pocket in the floor, near the tail end of the trailer. It has a wheel at the top, and he runs the winch cable over the wheel, to drag the log up the ramp. This set up tends to lift the leading end of the log up so that it doesn't dig into the ground. This works like a charm, and took very little material and a LOT less work to make it.

Great Glenn.

It's that second part that surprises a bunch of people -- getting the log OUT of the trailer. You need some kind of decent-capacity equipment to do this safely.

I have a two and a half ton forklift here so it’s not an issue but certainly would not be much fun without it and also rough on the trailer body.

Life sure it easier with the right equipment

It is for sure Wayne. I wish I made one of these years ago.

I like the way you used a small log as a roller I do the same it's easier on the winch and the loading is that much faster

That’s a good design and looks safe and easy to operate.

It seems to be working well Tim. Some of the other design options looked rather intimidating when it came to the arch falling over.

A. roller on the very end of trailer would be an asset.

@@GlennLucasWoodTurner The endless list, then when you get in your mid 70's like me you keep misplacing it, you're definitely on bucket list to come and visit, relax and chat if you ever take a break.

Also Glenn I have been selling 20€ a bowl and doing special orders for family and friends and in the past months have made about 600€ but is slowly going down because of study and sport...

Hey Glenn could I send you a pic of my latest bowl and rate it out of ten? It is made of my grandmother's old cherry tree overhanging the gate but it blew down during a storm a while back.

Hi Sylvester, It really is very hard for me to rate a bowl just from a photograph. I am so glad you are enjoying wood turning and that you have given your grandmother's tree a new life as a beautiful bowl.

Having read your other comment I realise that this comment was sarcasm. I thought the woodturning community was a friendly place but clearly I was wrong. I put a lot of thought into being able to pick up large logs which is a challenge for many woodturners. Some people have enjoyed watching it's development.
