WOODWORKERS' TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT 



85 



lengths from 4I to 8 feet. There are two types, namely, the 

 socket peavey and the clip peavey. 



The handle of the first is fitted into a socket, which is armed 

 on the lower end with a pike, 

 and on the upper end of the 

 socket is a clasp to which the 

 hook is bolted. 



The second has a pike driven 

 into the end of the handle, which 

 is bound with a metal band to 

 prevent the wood from sphtting. 

 The hook is attached to a clip 

 or clasp independent of the pike. 



The hooks are of three types, 

 namely, "round bill," ''duck 

 bill" and ''chisel." The round 

 bill is preferred for summer 

 work because it does not stick in the log; the duck bill 

 is best for frozen timber as it will penetrate the wood more 

 readily than the other forms; the chisel point is in limited 

 use. 



A peavey of standard form costs from $1.25 to $1.75.

CANT HOOKS 



hooks are used for purposes similar to the peavey, al- 

 though they are employed more around 

 mills and in handling sawed timber than 

 in handling logs. Standard handles are 

 4^, 5 and sh feet in length. They are 

 shod on the end with a heavy band of 

 iron, carrying on its under side a "toe" 

 which replaces the pike on the peavey. 

 A hook of the same character as that on 

 the peavey is fastened to the handle by a 

 clasp. 



A cant hook costs from $1 to $1.50.
