Another GREAT Log Rite Tool!

Pigman, there was nothing new in the carport this day. I checked it three times this afternoon and the last was just before Kirk called here and did not leave a message, about dark our time. :'(

This is beginning to remind me of the old time game of: who's got the button?

Or, in this case what do the buttons look like that were sent to Jeff?

I would just about bet dollars to donut holes Tammi and Kevin are having a good amount chuckling over all of this fuss about the axe?

I do also hope that they are high and dry with all of the rain falling in their neighborhood.

What axe ??? :

;D

Frank_Pender · October 18, 2005, 10:41:59 PM

That is what I am beginning to think as well, Furby. :'(

I wonder whose carport got Frank"s package. :-\

Pigman, I am going to up to the carport right this minute and take another look see. UPS might of hidden it under Merecedes 450 and I missed it completely. :D

Yep, I missed the DanG thing. It was not in front of the 450, but the Towne Car.

It is here! It is here!

I will not be able to use it though. With all those fine looking signitures all over the handle how in the world could anyone take such a beauty to the brush for pounding wedges. I will need another to loan out for testing to the cutters.

And, the new brochures: WOW! They are fantastic. Thank you both Tammi and Kevin.

They left a package by the "side door" here.
That door was boarded up!

Well Frank, in case you havent figured it out yet I will fill you in on a few things.

First and foremost, you have the FIRST axe from Log Rite.

I tried like mad to get it but BOTH Tammy and Kevin REFUSED to let me take it. That being the case I just HAD to get you going by taking the photo of it and CLAIMING to have gotten the very prototype you asked for :D :D

Now, rest assured BOTH Kevin and Tammy thought this was a GREAT Idea.........................as did EVERYONE else at the show that weekend.

When Kevin posted the tracking numbers and the first number showed up as having been processed in Illinois I coldnt resist to claim it was delivered to me instead of you. :D :D

Now I fee kinda bad since you cant use the one we all ~~signed~~ marked 8) 8)

Sure glad you finally got one of those fine tools. Any chance you got one of those fancy new log scales? If not, guess what :D :D

Frank_Pender · October 18, 2005, 11:28:24 PM

I can go to sleep now, know that my axe is home where it finally belongs. 8) 8) 8)

Thank you all that got to sign the handle:

Tamiam
Kevin
Captain
Buzz-Sawyer
John BC (One letter I could not make out, sorry.)
Mtn. Jack
Ga Boy
Tom Averwater

Kirk_Allen · October 18, 2005, 11:30:09 PM

Come on Frank, dont take it so hard. I signed it too ;D

Frank_Pender · October 18, 2005, 11:34:26 PM

You had better sleepl lightly, Kirk. I have students all over this country. I just say jump and they say how high. :D :D

I am also glad you all in the know have had a fun time, at my expense I might add.

I will have to get a couple more units here to put out for trial and error with these mean Northwest Fallers. That is going to be the real test for the axe.

A real big thank you to Kevin and Tamiam for bringing my dream to reality. I really believe that it will be a fine axe for fallers around here or anywhere, for that matter. 8)

Frank_Pender · October 18, 2005, 11:41:58 PM

I do not see your signing, Kirk, honestly. Taking another look, perhaps what I thought was Kevins signing was really a K with something that looks like Allen.
:'(

I just tried to take the axe up to the master bedroom and Alice said, "NO way!"

Kirk_Allen · October 19, 2005, 09:21:41 AM

I should have been a doctor :D I signed it just below the axe head on the right side (blade to the right). I signed it lenghtwise to the handle. I dont expect ANYONE to be able to identify my signature :D

neslrite · October 19, 2005, 09:43:56 AM

I am glad to see that Frank got what he deserved ;D the axe ;D.

I did not sign the axe, so the K scribble is Kirk's.
I think for fun when ever I ship a tool to a FF member I will post the tracking# :

Kevin

Frank_Pender · October 19, 2005, 09:45:26 AM

I will be watching the tracking number for you and Tamiam this February. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Kirk_Allen · October 19, 2005, 10:10:35 AM

:D :D :D :D :D

Tom_Averwater · October 19, 2005, 02:28:26 PM

As the story unfolds , Frank gets what he had been waiting for. Whew, Frank will probably have to take a couple of days off now . Just wore him out thinking he was going to get axe number 2. :D :D Tom

Pete J · October 19, 2005, 04:43:41 PM

Now about those brochures? Sure, Kevin did a pretty nice job. After all, he got some lessons from a pro, but did anyone notice a major typo on one of the pages? Luckily, I was able to proof read it and caught the error as soon as we got 1000's of them back from the printers. Doh!

Rumour has it that version 4 of the official LogRite brochure will be a collectors item. It should be the first one without errors.
