I should have my mill built by spring. Well I've never used one and was thinking that I could probably go help someone that has a bandsaw mill and learn while helping them out for a day or 2 this spring (when I get my vacation time back).

I live in Ivington KY.

My only request is please try to help me not get killed, maimed, or shortened from my natural 6'6" height.

Thats about a 5 hour trip, do you know of a camp ground close by that has trailer hookups? I could then bring the wife and tell her its a vacation, then vanish for 15 hours.

I am about one hour north of Louisville near Campbellsburg. I am not sure I could teach anyone anything. I do have a WM bandsaw I play with sometimes.

If you are good help, I might try to encourge you to do three days ~~work~~ learning.

Hey Paw, the last time I dropped a cant on my finger I pulled it out of my glove a quarter inch too short.

<--- That's what my eyes did when when the block hit the deck.

why wait till spring come on over to sandy hook, and I'll show you what it is to saw way up a hollow where the sun only shines 2 hours a day, and the mud is real fun to track through

Hey Neighbour. I know several people from sandy hook. Use to work for a lady by name of Norreen Strickland

I think you should take off work for six months , travel around and visit a bunch of sawyers. With some of us you will learn what not to do and from others you will learn what to do . Either way you will learn something.

Say, don't that make you a Hoosier?

Modat22, I'm about 15 minutes west of flip.

You guys weren't kidding. I could literally take a couple weeks off and make a big circle.

I read a thread where Furby did the Tour-de-Forum in tour de force style........only I don't think those he visited got much work out of him!

Whenever you go , take lots of pics!
