reached its highest development in America. With axes, the early
logger built camps and horse hovels, sinks, chairs, doors, and bunks.
In the early days, saws were unknown in the woods, so the ax was used
to fell the trees. A cant dog or cant hook was used for lifting,
turning, and prying logs when loading sleds and on the drive. At
first, a swivel hook on a pole with nothing to hold it in position was
used. This was called a swing dingle. In 1858, Joseph Peavey, a
blacksmith in Stillwater, Maine, made a rigid clasp to encircle the
cant dog handle with
the hook on one side. It moved up and down but not sideways. All
loggers have used it ever since."

"The Origin of the Peavey: It was in the Spring of 1857 that Joseph
Peavey made the first tool to become known as the PEAVEY. With the
first tool began the organization of the Peavey Manufacturing Company
which for over 100 consecutive years now has been making Peaveys and
shipping them with other logging tools throughout the U.S. and many
foreign countries. The event took place in Stillwater, Maine in the
heart of a booming logging industry. One day a log drive became hung
up on the Stillwater Branch of the famous Penobscot River. Joseph
Peavey who invented the Peavey Hoist for pulling stumps and hoisting
gates on dams, the first hay press, the first wooden screw vice, the
first clapboard machine, shingle machine, undershed water wheel,
unspillable inkwell, and many other things, lay flat on a bridge
overhead watching the men with their improvised prys trying to free
the jam. Seeing the unsteadiness of the prys and realizing they needed
something different, the idea came to him that he could make a better
tool. So he jumped up, as the story goes, went back to his blacksmith
shop and directed his son Daniel to make a clasp with lips, then make
holes in the lips to put a bolt through on which to hang a dog (or
hook) and toe rings below the clasp to the bottom of the handle.
Finally, a pick was driven into the end of the handle. The tool was
turned over to River Driver William Hale who pronounced it a great
success. Later, Joseph Peavey made the first PEAVEY using a solid
socket, in place of toe rings, with a driven pick. The improved Patent
PEAVEY - solid Socket and Pick combined, later to be called the Bangor
or Rafting Peavey, was invented by James Henry Peavey, grandson of
Joseph. The present facility of the Peavey Manufacturing Co. is
located just five miles down the river from where this historical
event took place."
