2IL Peavey

[Adirondackstihl]

Yep.......
Two Idiots Logging prototype

 

[Deets066]

Looks good,

Where are you goin with this?

 

[Zombiechopper]

Aluminum ain't the way to go. If you insist, at least use steel for the end spike. That little Aluminum spike is gonna be mashed flat in a day.

 

[Zombiechopper]

Run a long bolt through the end and sharpen a point on it. Replaceable until the aluminum cracks......and it will crack.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Okay, well it sure beats spending $100 + .

I was in need of something for a small upcoming project at hunting camp and it'll fit the bill perfectly I believe.

I like the bolt idea.
Won't crack if I cap the bottom

 

[Ironworker]

Nice.

 

[Zero_sum]

Simple.... I like it.

 

[Deets066]

A welded sleeve inside the pipe would be best for the bolt to go through, also more difficult though.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Keep in mind I have $0 invested.
This was built with scraps from our scrap dumpster!

Polish it, and stencil Tsumura on the side of it...you won't be able to build them fast enough for the PSP's and naysayers.

Or paint it orange and stencil GB Titanium on it?

Take a dry tight fitting hardwood dowel and press it into the handle. Then put a little linseed oil, diesel fuel and used motor oil, etc to swell the wood a little.

The handle will not bend as easy.

Nice use of scrap!!!

Good lookin work, looks like a cant hook to me, doesn't a peavy have a spike in the end?

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Peavey, Cant hook.......
Log roller thingy....

I grew up calling them peavey's.

 

[milkman]

That's a good idea, log roller thingy, that'll cover them both.

Looks very well built to me. The idea of a wooden insert sounds very good. Now i need to build one. I've been wanting one just don't want to spend $60-100 on one either. Was the hook hand cut?

I plasma cut the hook from a piece of plate drop headed for the dumpster.
The aluminum mounting "ears" were also plasma cut.
Pieces were TIG welded
