Summer is crazy this year, but hope to get up there.
I'll PM you if I go so we can perhaps have a coffee together.
Probably will be other members there also.

We've had some good visits at your camp!

So it looks like through some clever maneuvering on Tamiam's part, Tammy and I will be there with Logrite Tools. Tammy will be going on home from the show, and I'll be off to Logrite Tool Central to get a Logrite tattoo.


(Not really on the tattoo, but I'm going back east with the logrite crew) ;)

If anyone is interested in the Onan engine in the "For Sale" section, I can put it on a pallet and bring it to the Boonville Woodsmens festival on the 16th, might be able to save on shipping costs.

The Forestry Forum will still get a cut!

I'm going to be at the mercy of the logrite clan Bill, but it would be great if we could meet up somehow.  Tammy and I are driving to boonville and meeting up with Logrite's for the show, then Wildflower will return home on Sunday, and I will be traveling on with Tamiam and Kevin after the show to help out on some geek stuff. I'll then be flying home on the 21st.

Bill is about 8 minutes South of Exit 2 on the pike, depending on traffic in Stockbridge. Let me know if you will have time to stop in the area. I, personally, will not be treating anyone to the Red Lion. :D (Bill will get the reference)

Great to finally meet some of the faces behind the names  yesterday.

When I got back to the in-laws house, I realized I blew it.  I've been saving a nice White Oak slab to make into a bench. I meant to pick up a couple of the LogRite bench stands while I was at the show.  Bummer. I doubt I'll be able to convince Kim and the kids to make a detour on our way back home to pick some.

Welcome to the Forestry Forum, NewToSawing.

QuoteI have 2 young sons that I think would enjoy lumberjack sports
You think, but what do they think?  Have you and them attended and watched shows, and did they express an interest?

My wife and I attended a show yesterday, LINK (https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php/topic,78943.0.html) and the "contestants" readily talked with the audience members between events.  That would be a start.

I am not sure!  I would guess that I'll leave here saturday or sunday morning, I can get there in 2 hours from here.  Unless I take the scenic route through the mountain land, then it takes about 3 hours but it's worth the drive.  I am planning to be there on saturday, but I am going to call my old boss and ask him what day he's picking up his Baker there because I want to meet up with him and check out the mill.

Title: I saw Da Boss
Post by: maple flats on August 21, 2015, 02:33:58 PM
As I entered the NYS Woodsman's Field Days show in Boonville, NY this morning, the first persons I saw Were Da Boss, and Kevin (Logrite) Bantle. We talked a while before I moved on. From there on I didn't see any FF members I knew and none walked up and introduced themselves as FF members. Somehow I thought a few might, because I had mentioned ( on the FF)what hat I would have on but sadly none did. I had to get back home early, and I walked the whole show, stopped and talked at several and then swung back at Logrite before heading out. One display I was looking for and either they were not there or somehow I missed it was a Peterson mill display. ???

Post by: HiTech on August 23, 2015, 06:48:46 AM
in Boonville. Wanted to buy some gloves. Not sure how many pair I looked at but they wouldn't last half a day in the woods. I tried on several different types that said 3XL on them. Couldn't even get my hand in them. All made in China. I did see that one vendor had 5/16" 100 grade chokers again this year. Won't buy anymore there as now i get my chain from Tulsa Chain and make my own. May go up today and see if there are any last day bargains. For most things you can't beat the prices there, good time to stock up on things. They have some good food there also. lol

Paul glad you got home with no trouble.
This show has gotten impossibly big, traffic in and out very slow.

These was a fair amount of "home-owner" or less grade stuff there, but there was also
a good amount of High quality goods if you wanted it,
I was very impressed with  Comstock Logging Supply,
they brought a boat-load of stock.

Great to have met more FF members

Title: Re: Boonville Loggers Festival (boonville, NY)
Post by: Jeff on August 24, 2015, 07:24:12 AM
Going over, I went through Canada. Should have only been about 9 hours. Took 14. 3 wrecks in Canada with backed up traffic, and an hour at the border, then torrential rains from Niagara to Booneville.   Coming home I took 90 and stayed in the U.S.  should have been 11 hours, but took 12 due to heavy rain in Michigan.  I'm glad I was not one of the poor souls Sunday afternoon trying to get home on I-75 south in that rain.  It was backed up from Bay City to Grand Blanc.  Probably over 50 miles.

 Interesting ride home.  There was a small caravan of vendors on the road.  one by one getting smaller the farther along we went.  At one point a chainsaw carver decides to pull out and pass the two logrite vehicles.  His carving being interesting we took a pic as he went by.  A short time later we stop at the rest area and who should be in line in front of us but this carver and family.  We started chatting about the show and shared the picture of his truck with him only to find out they were taking pictures of out truck and trailer too!

That is good advice.  I will keep that in mind this year at the show..And I'm gonna drive there alone from the cabin so that way when my friends wanna go back and ride wheelers I can stay and enjoy the show.  I don't think I spent much more than an hour or two there at the show last year, didn't get to see much!

Unfortunately, it looks as though the only way I'll make it to the show this year is if I fly in. There is a small private airport with a grass strip a few miles east of Booneville. I'm trying to get permission to land there.

We'll see if I hear back from the person who is listed in my airport directory as the manager of the airport. Then I'd need to figure out transportation to the fair. It looks as though it's about a 10 minute drive away, and far enough off the beaten path that hitchhiking may not be a realistic option. If that all works out, all I've got left is hoping that the weather is good enough to make the flight.

Woohoo! Got permission to land. A 3.5 hour drive (one way) just turned into a 1 hour flight

Now I've just got to figure out how to get from the airport to the show.

I met Kevin but he was real busy, so didn't visit much.

 ok drove 870 miles entered the show and logright was the first setup. looked  closer and their was Jeff. got acquainted real quick then Tammy Kevin and boys. sure didn't take long to feel like I just met long lost friends. Also met Marty,Dan Sully, cox, but missed some others. Had some of Tammys good brownies of coarse. Its crazy but I have a norwood 29 mill and they were right next to logright. needless to say the first couple of hours I didn't get very far There is nothing on the internet for me that will ever match the forestry forum. Yes I got my good supply of blue creeper and have put it to use already on the door hinges on the motor home. Thanks Tammy. Now for the long drive back to Mooresville NC  well worth the trip

I was there yesterday, Met Kevin, Tammiam and Moosehunter (and his wife). I likely bumped elbows with other FF members without even knowing it. As usual, the show was great. I have a family party today (sending a grand daughter off to college) or I'd be there again today. It's real convenient for me, just 1 hr. drive north. I started attending in the mid 80's and went every year until about 2010, since then I think I've missed 2. Great show!

Coxy yes I got your message!  Sorry I missed you guys.  And I mist the logrite tent I walked in and beelined for the WM setup cause they were sawing..ended up poking around a bit and then I got some parts and blades and they drove us out in their sidexside to the parking lot.  Was a lot of fun really enjoyed it.  Ran into some people I aint seen in awhile and some ppl I see frequently enough that we didn't even say hi just start talking lol.  Boy that lt70 is fast.

How could you miss us? Lol
We were setup inside the track where the camping used to be, with the carvers at our backs. Quite a bit less traffic than the rest of the show but man was it cool to watch those carvings come together over the weekend.
We had a great time!!
