How to Make a Small DIY Log Arch Out of Black Iron Pipe

In this article we will show an experiment I did to create a small DIY log arch out of black iron pipe. In order to move logs around by hand and by myself I needed some mechanical advantage. In the sawmill and timber industries log arches are a pretty common way to move logs. At it's simplest a log arch is just a fulcrum on wheels. it is rolled over a log and the log is winched up into it so that one 9or both ends) are suspended allowing less friction on the ground. Log arches tend to cost $1000 or more so DIY arches are common. However, large arches the size I really need require welding skills I simply do not have yet. Looking at what was available I decided I would build a small log arch using black iron pipe to see if it was feasible to do so before investing in the larger pipe to make the log arch I needed.
