You'll have to make it up after you get to run it for a while.  ;D

Congradulations on the win!

Congratulations Dale,
I've watched the mill in operation and must say it's like surgically dissecting a log. It will do most everything a big mill will do and more. You'll be impressed. Equally impressive is the generosity of Kerris, Chris and Layla of Peterson and Jeff and crew of "THE" Forum. You'll have the mill figured out in no time and be sawing like a pro. Good for you,  keep teaching the kids (Hocking?)     John Beathard

Congratulations on your new mill, Dale. Now that we have a member with a skill mill, we're holding you to a lot of pictures and explanations on the creation of "creations".  :D

It just gets better, Dale.  Your SkillMill left here yesterday with UPS Freight on its way to Hocking College.   PM me with an email and we can set you up with tracking information.

I checked tracking to see what time to expect the mill . It might not be so rested when it gets here. Seams it was a short night. It left columbus at 3 am off to Parkersburg Wva. You ever wonder why shipping cost so much. well sometimes things dont follow a straitght line. It passed by here at 4am only to be  unloaded and sent back. So in order for it to get here it has been  loaded and unloaded 7 times. Some thing just make you wonder? The shipping comapny called  this morning on my way to the office. Told me that they were closed on Monday that it would be here on Tues. I asked since you allready have it why wont it be here today. They didnt know that it was their yet.LOL. so its supposed to be here this afternoon.

Update
Mill was loaded into my truck at 2pm. into the garage at 6pm. It will be a few days till i get to play. Have carving work all weekend. The mill  was packed very well and didnt have a scratch on it. The rails were packed in peterson sawn lumber. As i belive the shipping pallet was as well. Now to sort it all out and get it put together.
Thank You

SOME of the shipping pallet may have been from NZ, we've got a lot of old crates around here....but we built the crate just before it was shipped...

Hey Captain, you can start crating up mine. I'll be ready to take delivery in about 10 days.  8)

Great to hear you have received your Skillmill!!!  I am glad that after all of that loading and unloading it's in tact, thanks Captain for the great re-packing skills  ;D

Let me know Dale if you need any help setting the mill up, and yeah, as everyone else has said, get the photos flowing in!!  8)

Jeff B and Tammy, thanks heaps for participating in this, it was good fun.  Chris and Kerris said they enjoyed meeting up with you at Sawlex, and thanks for posting the video footage for us.
