Hi there,
Long time lurker on this forum. Just thought I would drop a line and introduce myself. My name is Drew Arnold and I am located in Mobile, AL but I am originally from South Mississippi. I grew up using a 1986 Woodmizer LT-40 my dad bought 3rd or 4th hand and cut many a board on that old machine. I now run a Lucas 613 with a slabbing attachment and am currently building a chainsaw mill to put on a Stihl MS-660 to toss in the back of my truck in order to be more portable as I run the roads quite a bit with my day job. I do miss using a bandmill though.
In addition to the sawmills, I am working on a solar kiln to dry lumber and also have a log arch set up I built to retrieve logs from local homeowners and tree services. I have gleaned many ideas and have admired the work of many forum members for some time now. I just figured I should step out of the shadows and say hello and contribute to the forum. I admittedly still have much to learn and am looking forward to my continued education and hope to help others where I can.
Thanks,
Drarnold,glad you became a member.
