That sawbuck is pretty DanG cool! Might need a light spring loaded chain around the log for the last piece.

It looks like a very handy tool.  I admired it longingly, but alas, I did not have the Luck-of-the-Pigman that day :(.

Danny, I have you know I was joking about the guessing part. I actually used caculus, but I am a little rusty with my calculus is why pasbuild won. ;D

Well, I just get back from the energy show in Phoenix and boy would have liked to be at the roast instead of that 112 degree heat.  I know, I know, it's the humidity not the heat.  But, I ready did miss not being with you guys.

I was a BIG WINNER at this years pig roast for many reasons, I got two days off work by takin the boss with me ;D I got to see some old friends and meet some new ones 8) ate my fill of some delicious food including deep fried double stuffed Oreo cookies  sketti_1   won me a dandy little chain saw thanks to Eggimann and Truck Parts City and another special prize.





This Maple set was crafted by the renowned artistic duo of TURN & BURN



As you can see the scene is of a Maple syrup operation done in great detail. This gift is not only very special because of the artist but also the man honored in the art work



Nailhead (Pat Johnson) was a good friend and I'm not ashamed to say I puddled up a bit when presented with this gift, THANKS guys.

As a direct (or indirect) result of the Pig Roast, we had Piggy Roast visitors today.





Enjoyed joining Robert and Linnea for a tour through parts of the Forest Products Laboratory this morning, and at Da Rox where we met up with Burlkraft.

Had a great time.

Fantastic job on those bowls buys. I can see Jeff handing out a bowl of nuts to the mixed crowd (trying to make a joke here). Makes them taste much better you know.  ;D

Well we made it through the pig-roast-do-the UP-Wisconsin-Minnesota-Wisconsin-Illinois thing safe and sound.  Put 2010 miles on the truck and never stopped for fuel  8)

Many thanks to Jeff and Tammy for the splendid hosting and to all the forumites who braved the high cost of fuel to turn out.  It was a pleasure to meet old friends and make new ones.  :)

One of the high spots of our adventure was meeting up with Beenthere for an informative tour of the wood products lab in Madison, WI.  Boy, would I like to play with some of those toys  :D
After the tour Linnea and I traveled to the storied town of Roxbury and joined Beenthere and Burlcraft at the exotic Roxbury Inn for what is shaping up to be an annual event.  Great food and great company  :)

We got home this past Thursday just now getting time to post.  Haven't really had time to even look through my pics to see what needs to be posted.  It was a great time visiting with everyone again and meeting new people.

We would like to thank the sponsors for their donations, Jeff and Tammy for letting us stay there this year and hosting the piggy roast and for everyone that helped behind the scenes.

We all had a great time.

Haven't even had time to check out the blades from Wood-Mizer yet, but they are here
Thank You Wood-Mizer[/b]

Looks like I may have to make 4 cheesecakes next year even with the smaller crowd 3 wasn't quite enough.
