From the scrap iron collection using his welder Kevin built this “Cant Hook”.
This is used to move the logs and turn them into position for the ‘Green Mill’.

Cant—"A square-edged timber or a squared log."
Cant Hook—"A form of lever for canting over, or turning, timber, consisting of a wooden bar with an iron catch, or hooked arm near its lower end which passes over the log, grips it, and so affords a hold by which it may be pulled over. Also called a cant dog."
Peavey—"A lumberman's cant hook having a spike at the end of the lever."

Having a carport made milled lumber, I can say it is a great way to save money. In addition, the re-cycled bottles used for the fireplace was beautiful. Thanks Kev, for all of your re-cycling ideas!
