    Made a new log holder to go into a 2inch receiver. Will hold a log from 2inch to 10inch. Should work well on four wheeler or side x side. 20190528_181329.jpg 20190528_181305.jpg 20190524_171526.jpg

    Pretty trick! Did you have to cut the teeth yourself or is that stock available commercially? Or something repurposed?

    I did cut all the teeth myself. Wasn't to bad. Took under a hour to lay out and cut all four .

    How long of a log do you put in there? What do you use to get the log there?

    Does the V at the end even really need to be toothed ?

    Yeah I know, helps hold it, but the double set of teeth at the log end end should suffice ?

    :yes: thumbs up either way

    If you Google jaw boss/ tie boss it is what I copied/ duplicated. It's going to be for my uncle and his side x side. His hunting land is full of smaller birch and popple. He asked me if I could make something like it.
