who's going?

When I went 2 years ago, I discovered a stop system that was amazingly simple for our pop up saw. Given we do a lot of different length boards for pallet lumber, it was wonderful. I figured it paid for my trip the first month we got it. Plus we found Kasco blades for the big mill that have done a great job for us.

If I can plan it, I'm going. Just hope I don't have to fly one of those prop planes leaving Richmond like the last time. I swear that one prop out my window wobbled.

that's how it stays balance, Kansas!

I'm looking forward to seeing you again if you can make it. We'll have Bruce set up breakfast again!

Not going to make it this year. :( I will be in Dayotn OH at a ham radio convention.

For what ever reason, the weekends are the same this time around. They are usually 2 weeks apart. I'm also going to misst the October show in Guernsey OH, the Firewood Shootout. I'm not real interested in a show geared to firewood processing. I liked the year they did both sawmills and firewood processors in Morgantown WVA.

I am planning on going this year, it's a nice show lots to see. Had nice visit and did some reminiscing with the guys from "The Northern Logger".

Look forward to it too, Dan. This year I want to take my camera and take some pics of that super Stihl saw.

You mean this one?

Dan,

Sorry. I would love to set up breakfast.......BUT, I will be flying back from Reno on the 19th. That week my wife and I are planning on attending a reunion. May of this year will be 40 years to the month at I stepped onboard my first submarine, the USS Woodrow Wilson, SSBN 624. And just so happens that the crew will be holding the reunion in Reno 14-19 May.

Wish I could make it but I think this is just a little more important. Hope you guys have a good time. Oh, and Dan....don't forget just how cold you got the last time we meet there. :D :D :D ;) ;)

well, I guess that means i'll have to set up the breakfast venue.

I froze my giblets off the day before when we met up for that solar kiln class. I remember it being warm when I left my house, but when I went over a hill about 5 miles away, I hit a cold patch that didn't let up until I got to Richmond. :D

I will be there. I have to supply the logs for wood mizer.

I might make it. not sure yet.

Cedarman · April 01, 2012, 09:48:02 AM

Like Kansas, I found a machine that paid for itself in just over 2 months that shaves wood for our sawdust sales.
Plan on making it again.
Will miss a couple of you guys.
But, hope to visit with others.
I have always enjoyed this Expo.

If you're going to be around there on Friday morning, and want to do breakfast, drop me a PM.

I'll get something coordinated.

Kansas · May 15, 2012, 07:53:33 PM

Well I almost didn't go. At the last moment, Casey arranged airline tickets and a hotel room for me. Flying into Richmond Thursday afternoon, leaving Saturday morning. Look forward to seeing people and seeing the show.
