If the timber is super large it can be turned by one person with little difficulty. On a finished timber I would try using a nylon strap in place of the chain and hook in a cinch configuration, one eye through the other. And high lift jack. This was a good size log..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnryqBlOnMs

Agreed. Having built and raised a frame using similar tools and methods, I feel quite at home.

After I posted that the other day I had the chance a few days later to use the strap in conjunction with the chain. I did not take enough precaution and ended up with a mar on one corner, ironed it out with a wet rag and squirt bottle, which almost did the trick, but sad to say some fibers were torn not just compressed.
They were 21"x 7.5"x 20', I just couldn't turn them with the cant hook, I resawed down to 6x20

Hi, I am looking for some help / guidance on making a very simple gin pole / crane that can be used to lift and position logs from the woodland collection stack so that these can be orientated, lined and converted. Does anyone have any photos / drawings / links that they can share please ? Ken Hume
Looking back to see the way ahead !
