... out of Legos:

My kids don't want me to play Legos anymore and if I get one more sawmill dvd in the mail, my wife is going to see about getting me some court ordered counseling. But, until the sawmill fund is complete, these will have to do.

Years ago, I was at a flea market and bought a whole bunch of small red cedar pieces of wood, as I wanted to build a model water powered reciprocating sawmill like I saw at old mill creek. The wood is still in the closet.

From the Lego + too much time on their hands dept...

If that doesn't make ya smile, nothin will!! :D :D

I hadn't seen, let alone played with Legos for years, and my nephew wanted me to join in a couple months ago. Guys.... Legos are Hi-Tech now...got ring/pinion, DIY transmissions, real bearing inserts, dog/tooth clutches, the list goes on....I couldn't stop...it was addicting and amazing. I wanted to get my own ever since. ;D

He wants to become an engineer like his uncle, and with "toys" like that....hes already in training. Hes coming up this summer for a few days so he can get some hands on...maybe see if he likes sawdust. Just glad hes not stuck in front of a TV playin games.

Thanks 4speed for the Laugh!!

WDH · January 30, 2012, 09:45:33 PM

I want the pink one :D.

4speed · January 31, 2012, 12:28:14 PM

WDH, thanks to the camera on my 1932 model BlackBerry, red Legos look pink. But if you're still interested, I can ship it to you for the low price of $6,495.00. If paying by check, just make it payable to Wood-Mizer. ;)

As soon as I sell all the premium quarter-sawn lumber from that piece of full-round, I will be able to afford a hydraulics upgrade. Or, I can just steal the parts from my son that hoards all the cool Lego pieces!

WDH · January 31, 2012, 08:23:24 PM

Does it come with an extra bed section? :D.

Mooseherder · January 31, 2012, 09:10:06 PM

From the title I thought you were going to say that you built them in your dreams. When I dream about work I'm useless the next day cause I'm already worn out from working all night. :D

Santa asked the young boy sitting on his lap what he wanted for Christmas. The boy told Santa that he wanted a train set just like the one Santa gave his father the year before. It could just as well have been a WM.

Now thats funny Sparky, what Dad can't relate to that???? ;D ;D ;D

FeltzE · February 02, 2012, 08:47:33 AM

Where do you get blades for that monster? :

metalspinner · February 02, 2012, 12:22:05 PM

That's cool! :D

Stihl has an advertising campaign downunder that utilizes full scale LEGO models. I read about it in a magazine dedicated to LEGO.

We are stoopid with LEGO around this house. We have a room dedicated to it. :

My older son is into LEGO Robotics and competed in a national tournament last year. His team didn't fair too well, but it still satisfied his LEGO addiction (mine, too). And adding hydraulics is not imposssible. Just yesterday we ordered a pnuematics kit for the Robotics set. 8)
