Is there anyone near KY I could help for a couple days in the spring?

[Modat22]

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.  ;D  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 :D

[Modat22]

I'll have to book mark this thread, I'll come visit some folks in the spring. I'll work for education though a hamburger or two wouldn't hurt ether.

Thanks guys for all the offers, I'll take you up on them.

[PawNature]

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

[pigman]

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. :

[Modat22]

the way the engineering field is going I might be permanently on vacation next year. Never know.

[WH_Conley]

While yer in the eastern part of the state, swing by Camp Dix. Just be kind of a loop, PawNature, Big_Sid and here. Course you might want to stop here first, time they get done with ya might not be nothin left. :D :D

[Modat22]

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!

[Modat22]

well I reckon I could bring my laptop along and do some drafting for food or something. I love taking pictures, I have boat loads from a couple places I did some sub contract work on some precipitators.
