Skidding tongs

[DaveO]

We've had a few trees down on our property, and want to get rid of all the lumber. I'd built a version of skidding tongs to drag pallets off trailers, and recently saw skidding tongs for logs in the Northern catalog. So I thought I'd try a version using 1/2 inch rebar. I heated and flattened the pivot point to make drilling easier, made a few bends, welded the chain on. I also welded a length of chain onto a handle; a grab hook on the end of that chain connects to the chain on the tongs.

That's some of what I've been up to... what's everybody else working on?
