crtreedude has a good point.....

now all good test are verified by more than one source.....

I know it would be difficult, but I'm sure all the FF members would be willing to participate. ;D

While we are at it.... the timber industry should provide free logs to each testing facility (members) so we could evaluate the quality of each product accurately. :D :D

Don,

I have ran QA departments before, therefore I am obviously qualified. Also, just think - if they can ship them here, they can ship them anywhere.

What concerns me is that all the manufactors have become very quiet all of a sudden... Surely marketing can pay to send me a few...

Well since I have a background in QA, I think I'm in the game for this. Add my name to the list! ;)

QA ... yeah I guess that is a minor qualification......    but..

I ran the busiest complaint department that I can think of for more than 15 years.....   you think people call 911 because they are happy.... or they don't want some immediate service.. ;D ;D ;D ;D

We are going to try and have One of our Doublecut models there for the shoot out next year. But have to see when the time comes.
I agree with captain on the miscuts. Just because they are out a bit the board wouldn't be thrown away! So I think that the reader reading the article could come to a wrong idea of the mill with out that talley as well.
I think that should be changed for sure.

Furby and Don, here we are with a really good suggestion, non-biased, fair to all parties, willing to donate valuable time and resources to independent testing - and we are being ignored.

Boy, you would think they don't trust us or something...  ;)

See - this is a danger of discussing a good idea on the internet...  :D

I would love to see if a woodmizer can cut a Corteza without whimpering. For that matter, a swing blade is going to be interesting too with some of these trees. It is like cutting metal.  :o

And teak is like cutting sand - lots of silicone.

See Jeff, I have more to test. However, I will let you test the fully automated ones so that you don't hurt yourself. I have people to move logs around for me.

I think we can divide them up pretty quick, all we need to do is get the manufactors to agree.  8)

Jeff..... the phone aint ring'n cuzz it aint hooked up.. unless you fixed it so they could call ya:o :o

Maybe the manufactures should go ahead and send them all to CR.  They can provide the rest of the members plane tickets to go there and play with ( I mean evaluate ) the mills. ;D ;D

crtreedude:  when I get there I wanna see that volcano up close and do some snook fish'n okay?? Harold says you are a good host.   ;) so good in fact.... he wants to move there.

Man, you don't want to see that volcano too up close - or they will be calling 911 for you! :o

You come on down and we will go fishing, it is about the only way I take a break down here is to have visitors.  :(

Well not to close... maybe as close as that pic you posted a while back. 

That's one thing I miss about south FL... I miss the fishing.   The "big" fish up here are still smaller than I'm used to using for bait. :D :D

Maybe some day I can get down there...  I'd like to, but I've got all these domestic duties still.. you know... 3 kids still at home.

I happen to agree with all of you that free equipment would be awesome.  I am sure I would have an easier time trying to figure out the differences in the machines out there.

Thank you to all who have given great opinions.  If anyone else has more information please keep sending it.


and for all whose wifes say I don't want to hear it all just ignore them and send it my way.

Thanks again.

Fred, the problem is that you are at such a disadvantage in the elevation department.  They are probaby concerned that you can't reach the controls.

  Ya otter hear all the critters what jump off the trees and land on the roof, ALL NIGHT LONG. Plastic roof, no less. Looks like that corrugated tin only plastic. Neat stuff.

Are you saying I am too tall? I happen to be 6'2", makes me look like a giant down here.  It is trick photography that makes me look short...

Yep, no need for anthing more than a tin roof around here - no heating or cooling to worry about.
