Hey there,
I really like Woodshop's method of getting logs onto a couple of sawhorses before milling (to save on the back). I see that the car jack is employed in doing this.
You explain that you dig a hole to get the car jack under one end of the log for the first lift. I was wondering if you ever considered getting a log jack (attached) to perform that first lift to give the car jack enough room to get under the log.
The log jacks Ive seen on the net look pretty flimsy and don't look like they could take the weight of a log that WoodShop is handling, but if there were some heavier duty log jacks out there, I presume digging that first hole would be eliminated. I'm definitely going to employ the 'WoodShop lift method' regardless for my first big logs!
What ya think Woodshop?
