- Today on Hangin With Harv, we're making a log arch to help move several ash logs for use in future projects. Stick around and let me know what you think of how it turned out! If you liked this project give me a thumbs up and if it inspires you to take on a similar project, leave me a comment as I would love to hear from you.

When grinding eye protection with side shields is preferred. I wear glasses too, but use scratched safety glasses with side shields that give better protection than just regular glasses.
I have many acres of firewood to cut and split. The trail i cut is just wide enough for a lawnmower. The trees i have are much longer and will have to drag them 1/4 mile to the log splitter. This has potential....
That is pretty slick! I have never seen one of those before. Nice job building it, I may take your idea and build one also. Thanks for posting the video.
I bet the professional manufacturers are glad you're not actually doing this as a profession! They'd lose Soo much money if everyone used your crazy simple setup!
Everything you've listed can be picked up off Craigslist or as scrape! I'll be making mine very similar from nearly the same junk parts!
Great job!
Harv, thanks for sharing this project. You might think of making a tee that slips in your main horizontal tube to give you a support for a plywood flatbed on top. That way, you could put limbs etc. on top as well. A follow up video showing how to load it would be helpful too.
Impressive. I am building one right now and using the same basic techniques. I like your attitude. Use what you have and do the best you can . I watch a lot of YT vids and get a lot of ideas.
Tip for cutting slots: Drill holes, cut to the holes.
Thanks Mark! That’s how it’s done in woodworking too. Being new to working in metal the thought didn’t occur to me it would be the same. I appreciate the tip!
Nice build....thanks
Very nice. I want! Your attention to detail is superb. You seem to understand that tight straight cuts leads to tight straight welds.
Down here in Georgia I've got some down trees from the huricanes.
Gon'na make that one's Big brother (10 feet long and 4-1/4 feet high). I've got the steel just need some hubs and wheels...
great ..nice to see how you made all from zero to end effect
Thank you Albert! It has been a very useful project for me.
Yo Harv. On that "Porter Cable" grinder you bought at TC. FYI PC was bought out by Stanley/BD a few years ago. IMO, they then proceeded to make a killing and market cheap Chinese tools with a PC sticky on it to fool people to think they bought a quality PC tool.That's why it was so cheap. I know because I was burned on that last year. Bought a table saw on line only because it was PC. No dust collection, sheared off a trunion bolt first time out. Eventually I got a partial refund offer from the Chinese manufacturer if I proved that I destroyed the saw. Seems like the motors were going on fire and they probably got sued couple times as they should. PC would have never manufactured a tool like that. To date I still own several GENUINE PC tools that are close to 50 years old and still working great. But anyway good luck with it. (Keep your receipt)
Great work, i like the result, not a lot of videos about this subject so thanks! Greetings from Chile
Nice … very nice 👍 thank you.
Next time you need to make notches like the chain ones you could drill holes and then cut up to them
You did a great job bud!
Diesel DC thanks for your feedback. I hope you check out some of my other videos too!
i like it, i might have to make one as i have at least 6 large trees to take down and moving the logs is the trouble spot for me i wonder if just lifting tthe front and dragging the back would work, i do have a decent size tractor
If you had a winch and used your 3point lift to get it off the ground it will pull anything the arch will . on the farm a car hood will work basically you need a toboggan shape to keep the front from digging in. That sell commercially a piece of heavy plastic. 3/8" with ties kinda works like a big game drag.
Cool! Those things can cost over a thousand bucks new depending on how heavy duty they are. For twenty five bucks that's awesome!
Absolutely! I am fortunate to have a local steel supplier that sells anything they have cut on at scrap bin prices. So for some it may cost a bit more and of course depending on the thickness of tube etc. but for my purposes it was perfect and has more than paid for itself.
You asked for input welding. From what I see most of your welds are a bit cold. Don't be afraid to put some heat to it holes are easily filled with a mug. Next get rid of the flux core and get a bottle. You will wonder why you waited. I'm not a pro but I work heavy diesel and equipment. I've. Stretched semis into flat beds and built a number of trailers so I've welded once or twice. The 110 migs are a bit under powered so like I said with thicker metals don't fear the heat.
Get yourself some mig welding gloves and toss those stick welding gloves on a shelf. Looks good man.
Thanks for sharing that.
@@HanginwithHarv I started fabricating a log arch this afternoon; Ill send you a photo when its done
Here is my arch. Not quite finished and it's probably a bit large for the wheels, but thank you Harv, you inspired me the most.

Sorry about my poor video.
Don't forget your ear protection, he says as he goes at it with a cut-off disc and not face protection. Sorry for the sarcasm Harv, but those are dangerous. My brother had one shatter on him once and luckily he WAS wearing a face shield, because the disc shattered the face shield and gave him a pretty good scare on his forehead. Thanks for the built and video. Good stuff, I got to make me one.
Thanks for watching and for the safety tip. I’ve not had that experience thankfully. I will have to ensure I have a face shield on in the future.
Safety is in the users skill and experience not the equipment you buy look at the tropical country's working steel barefoot!
Enjoyed your build of the log arch . How well did it work for you ? Be safe
Hi Mark and thanks for watching and leaving me a comment. It worked really well actually! It’s proven to be plenty strong for the logs I have moved with it.
Trust me I get it, don't get any help either. hehehe.
Great video my friend, thanks for sharing, subbed you as well.
How did you lift the log are you able to use the cart as a lift buy lifting the toung vertical and strapping log the pulling the toung downcausing the frame to work like a lever?
T Huss great question. I did a follow up on how to load and unload. You nailed it! Using the tounge as a lever it’s easy to raise the end of the log.
Good deal I have been thinking on those lines without a winch but I haven't worked out the physics of the lift I'm old not a large guy don't want to make a human catapult!
20 years ago hell yeah... Here hold my drink I'll show you!
I'll check out your videos thanks again!
Make sure u paint it green
Carter Hosler199 thanks for the comment. It most definitely received a coat of green paint. There’s another video showing me using it where you see it painted.
K cool
JD lawnmower wheels? like the JDs at HD? HUH.
The wheels were off of an old JD rear engine rider that someone was getting rid of. I had it for quite a while and salvaged the motor years before. I would say any wheels you can get your hands on that hold air and won't immediately dig in or sink should work.
Hey Harv, Your videos are great, but allow me to interject some criticism. I priced the steel to build an Arch Trailer almost exactly like this one and the steel alone will cost me $325.00. I think the electricity for my welding machine will cost more than $25.00. Your title is very misleading.
д этот боров мог ту корягу что привёз на прицепе, пешком на плече принести!!! : )))))))) насмешил однако...
Nothing wrong with your welding....im a junk yard welder....
Joseph Leister... I appreciate your feedback!
