I worked in a lumber mill in Oregon 40 years ago. We called them a peavy. None were as beautiful as this one. Well done!

A peavy has a spike at the bottom of the handle; a cant hook does not.

Yes, those of us who are into this style of diy videos benefit immensely from seeing how something is done. We get a good picture of the more important tools to own so that we can make the rest cheaply when there's nothing else to do and/or no job to be at. It harkens back to a day when what you did at home WAS your job and your family were your primary beneficiaries of the fruits of your labour. A day when jobs were too scarce to feel bad about not finding one. When farming, blacksmithing and carpentry were easy ways to make money... Almost before being an electrician or a mechanic was a thing. Around that timeframe of history. As hard as it was then and as easy as we have it now by comparison, being reminded that we can always do something even when we're out of other options is deeply comforting and inspiring.

I am humbled and impressed by everything you demonstrate, but it is they way that you include your family and the lifestyle you choose to keep that shows what kind of man you are. (Side note: I'm a tree guy that has used a cant hook a time or two, and you made the highest quality one I've ever seen.) Cheers from Florida

I never knew anyone beyond the state of VT knew it as a "cant hook." I've also heard it called a "peavey," but seeing "cant hook" took me right back to my childhood, listening to my grandfather and mother talk about logging in the woods of VT. Thank you!

I love your videos. They're very enjoyable. But one thing I noticed is how perfectly level your property is. It's a factor that plays into the wholesomeness. That there's no conflict from the way you hammer the metal to the way you mill the wood to even the way you plant your garden. Everything is organized, level, open and well lit. I'm truly envious. Keep up the good work.😀

For those that are commenting and making puns on the word cant. Cant is a word that means corner. Thus a log that has a squared face is a cant and the tool for turning them on a mill is called a cant hook. They work fine for turning unsquared logs also. Now if you put a spike in the end of a cant hook it's called a Peavy after the blacksmith from Maine, USA that first did it. I personally like to have a relatively short handled cant hook and a longer handled Peavy. Maybe 36" - 92 cm for the cant hook and 60" - 150cm for the Peavy.

What I appreciate is the complete fabrication of the cant hook. From lumber to finished article. Great example of a complete skill set. I'll add the quality of blacksmithing is top notch. Little to no grinding of the parts. True forging to size and shape. Something many KZbin "Blacksmiths" have not mastered. Mark

What kind of wood is the handle made from? My trades training was in Cabinetmaking. From the bark I guessed it may be a coniferous tree. Larch. But that is only a guess from knowing how tough it can be.

Torbjörn Åhman Very well could be. The handle has the grain of cherry. And the grain structure you see in Cherry. But it looks quite a bit harder than North American Cherry. Perhaps actual fruit tree Cherry? Here that bark could be on a tree called Black Cherry.

Great show, man. There is a saying here in Germany to remind the trainees to work with leverages: Gewaltig ist des Schlossers Kraft, wenn er mit dem Hebel schafft. It is a rhyme. Literally translated: Enormous is the metalworkers force, if the leverage is his tool to work with. Thumbs up. This tool will last a lifetime.

@glendonrhoades4716
@glendonrhoades4716 4 жыл бұрын
Peavey has a pointed end that is rammed into the log to grip it. When you've squared all four sides of that log on the mill, you have a cant - a squared log that is ready to milled into lumber. At that point, you don't want to stick a point in your cant because it will damage the boards you're about to cut. So... you use a cant hook to turn your cant.

I found one of these traipsing around in the woods a while back, looked like it had been there for a while (trash grown over it, etc) so I took it home. It sure found a use when we had to cut a couple trees down in the back yard. Not a tool you need often if you're not in the trade, but one you don't want to be caught without when you are.

A good cant hook costs around $100 new. This is an excellent, simple project to make a tool that's extremely useful if you cut your own firewood, and for a fraction of the cost. Even if you don't have a lathe, a hand planed or even a store bought handle would still make this a preferable option over buying a new tool. I already own a peavey (almost the same tool) but I'm gonna try to make this version next chance I get. (for those who don't cut their own firewood, when the tree is down and limbed you go along with the chainsaw and cut almost all the way through in sections as long as you want your firewood, 16 in. for me. You don't cut all the way through so as not to ruin your chain in the dirt. You then can take the cant hook and roll the whole log so you can finish the cuts without putting your chain in the dirt. Also very handy when there's a tree down across the road and you want to move it without having to cut the whole thing into pieces small enough to carry)

yet another nice, quality built tool to last a lifetime. Can i suggest a small modification to extend the life of your tool? In canada growing up all the cant hooks / peavies had a metal spike on the end. Pretty much a cone of steel that cups the first 100-150 mm of your handle. It is useful when you are using 2 to steer a log. 1 can be driven into the dirt to stop a log and another to pivot the log around the other. Also it will save your handle from getting chewed up in the dirt with rotating the log thus making it last longer. Please dont mistake me and think i dont love your design because i do. I just think the addition of the spiked cone may make it last a lot longer for you.

You can't beat Robert sorbey tools. A couple of Tricks I've learned as a professional woodturner. Try leaving the Burr on the gouges and scrapers as long as it's not too heavy. Another tip is to use the skew chisel upside down. it's a lot less grabby that way. You do great work.

I don’t know anything about blacksmithing, but I have planted a lot of potatoes. Rather than plant whole seed potatoes, you can cut them into pieces that contain at least two “eyes.” In this way, you can either buy fewer seed potatoes, or get 3 or 4 times the coverage you’re currently getting.

Hey again I just love your craftsmanship. You use a common wood chisel for cutting to make a flatten ares to mount the steel bracket- first time I feel I have a better tool for that job SIR , Last summer I built a long handle (2 hand size) wood chisel party from trying to copy some of your skills ( I also did the Blacksmit and the wood handle which was like a two piece knife handle , It is something a joyy to work with. Sir I love every second of every video of yours I have seen . Thanks for the teaching Sir

Nice work. I've used the US version of that same tool we call a "peavey." It has a ferrule and spike on the hook end of the handle and is a bit longer over-all. A peavey has worn me out many times in my younger years but I don't recall ever wearing out a peavey. Great force multiplier. With a peavey, you can shift a log weighing up to a couple tons on flat ground and put it exactly where you want it on a sawmill carriage, for parbuckling up on a wall, sorting a stack of logs, etc. Simple elegant tool. Adding: Sorry, brain brown-out. A cant hook is intended for squared timbers - cants - and small logs and is thus so proportioned. A peavey is intended for raw logs and heaving and prying with full strength and thus is more robust. Usually a peavey is a little under 6 feet but I saw one in the Port Gamble museum that must have been 7 feet long and 3" diameter at the hook ring. It was scarred, battered, and bent so it must have seen hard service a century ago before trees were harvested with reapers. The cant hook Torbjörn made is dead on what we call a cant hook on the side of the world. No surprise there. The early settlers in Puget Sound country were redominately Scandanavian and they brought their tools and traditions with them. My apologies; I do get pedantic. Nice work raising that sturdy boy, too. Wasn't that long ago he was a toddler glimpsed in the background of your cut-aways. Soon he'll be a powerful young man striking for you on your larger blacksmith projects while a sturdy grandson looks on. Time passes. Especially for dads.

Love it! Flathead screws! I'm no logger but thought it looked a bit short, as soon as I saw you mount it on the lather I understood why :) Often I soak zinc coated parts (like the bolts you used) in white Vinegar to remove the zinc, partly so I can weld them without worrying about zinc fumes and partly so they will rust because sometimes rust is cool. For this project soaking them in vinegar followed by a few heats in the forge would give them a similar finish to the rest of the steel. The landscape/potato planting cuts are great too, the seasonal extremes here range from coldish to coldish and wet to fairly hot, so seeing snow is always a novelty.

From the thumbnail I thought it was hot riveted together, you've got me wondering how one would forge an internal thread now, an external one would be simpler.

Threads have always been cut, filed or pressed... never seen forged threads.

Hey you're the one who said you were going to forge them! :P 5 minutes of research tells me that internal threads are generally (probably almost always) tapped/cut, Historically it wouldn't have been much of a leap to go from an external screw to something that would cut internal thread, and screws would have been around for a long time before nuts.

Very cool! In my part of the world (Ozark Mountains, USA) we make ours about 5 feet tall and about 3" or 3 1/2" where the hook attaches. The geometry works out so a log can be rolled up on the pole and lift the log up high enough to keep the chainsaw out of the rocks. The hook is often morticed into the pole with no other hardware.
