Georgia Sawing project 2018

I've heard about it, I've read about it, I've seen still photo's of the process, but watching that RRQS actually happen was awesome. Getting to see and hear WDH in action, priceless.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful video. I even saw a DanG! 8)

Great video! Hope you don't mind if we share it?

Great video, Great Video, Great Video.

Doing the RRQS in front of a crowd is always fun, especially with this log as it had a lot of twist, which makes it sometimes pretty hard to stay in in the fleck. However, with Jake driving the mill and WDH there, it was a slam dunk, and the boards coming off were incredible. Zero guess, zero stress quarter sawing.

The whole Project was great, the food was great, and the people were amazing. Jake has a great place for doing this with all the equipment and room for a great time.

We had a great time!
What a pleasure to see old friends and meet new ones.
Jake's place is a sawmillers dream, he is really living the life!
We enjoyed some good food, good camaraderie and the weather was perfect.
Every FF event I attend I come away with a renewed sense of what a great group of folks we have here.
I have to take some time to upload a few pictures.

Nathan. Great job on the video. Definitely one of your best. If anyone hasn't done it yet you should Subscribe to 123Maxbars feed on youtube. He has lots of videos on sawmilling and woodworking.

You will have to lift someone with the Cat so we can have aerial shots of the Northern Project.
I nominate 4x4 for the task he's young and knows how to run his cellphone camera well :D

WDH · April 17, 2018, 04:21:19 PM

That will work. 4x4 has always had his head in the clouds :D.

WDH · April 17, 2018, 04:27:23 PM

Here is DanG and Deese parlaying.

fishpharmer · April 17, 2018, 04:41:47 PM

Deese beat DanG to the draw. But my money is still on DanG.

DanG knows slight of hand and can talk outta both sides of his mouth at the same time.
Deese is in school....he just don't know it. :D :D :D

I beleive I'm a little prettier than my brother Chris!
One of my older (87) neighbors in WV will walk up, shake my hand and say "Now which one are you?"

Weekend_Sawyer · April 18, 2018, 12:55:42 PM

Here's the big sycamore log getting ready to be loaded.

The first flitches to come off were heavaly spalted.
I hope someone is going to make something out of that!

There was lots of oohing and ahing going on when those first boards came off the mill.

Here's Danny taking the time to tell us about playing his upright bass.

Jake likes to keep a couple extra blades on hand.

... and don't be afraid to toss out the used up ones.

I got nosy and took a peek in Jake's office.
Man I'm glad I did. This is one incredible desk!!!

That's about all I have.
We sure did have a good time.
Chris and I checked the weather and saw a big storm heading our way from the west so we changed our plans from a leasurly ride north and east up through Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia, and made a run out 77 to 95 and straight home. We got home at noon on Sunday. We only had to ride 30 miles in the rain but the temperature dropped from 70 down to 45 by the time we pulled in. But that's one of the things that riding is all about.

Jon ;D
