notownkid Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I have 2 - 16" and 2 - 20" Log Dogs that I've have for a few yrs. I always seemed to loose them from sight when we knocked them out of the log to roll it so I painted them Orange. 2 weeks ago they disappeared from our hunting camp sight 2 miles in the mountains. We saw some 4 wheeler tracks not ours but lost them in the rocks. I stopped at every small store, rest. diner on the way home. Following Sat night I had a call that someone had seen them at a tag/lawn sale near us. My son and I paid them a visit at 8 pm and demanded our Dogs back and where did he get them, "Oh My son found them laying beside the road in so and so town" I told him wrong town and kiddo might not want to take things from our camp again Cameras are all over there next visit will be from SP. Gave them a fresh coat of orange when they got back here. Going to put name on them as well. Handiness tools working with logs there are, ours are from 9/16 sq. stock.

arkie Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Well, I couldn't stand it....went out to the shop today and made a couple of log dogs. Large one is 16" point to point, small is 12" point to point, made from 1/2" square stock. I hope they are strong enough. I might make a 20" out of 5/8". At first I didn't know the significance of the curve, but after reading "anvil's" post I saw where the curve gives them the rebound or "springy-ness", thanks "anvil" for the hint.

Frosty Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 You used better search terms than I did, I only got 3 hits, including the hold fast episode. Some good watching there, beats FIF if you want to learn some things. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
