Every once in a while I see a post that references something in the current Wood-Mizer Way magazine. My question is: Are you receiving this regularly in the mail? If so, how often. It seems to be hit and miss for me. I either get it a month or more after reading a reference to the latest issue, or I may not be getting it at all. It's hard to tell. I don't know the frequency of publication. In the year or so since I purchased my mill I've only received a few issues.
The last issue I received was the one that listed Arky's monumental sawing effort. And, I only received it after reading about it here on the forum and calling Wood-Mizer to ask them about it. Then they sent me a copy almost a month after everyone else had received it.
Are others having the same issue?
Heck, I bought my mill new in '97 and have bought parts since then and this is the first I have heard of it.
Don't guess I'm much help, am I ?
Wood-Mizer Way is a new version of Wood-Mizer News. First issue came out in Summer of 2004. Wood-Mizer published Wood-Mizer News a couple times a year along with another called Wood-Mizer Technical (or something like that) another couple times a year. So one or the other would come every couple of months. Then they suspended publishing one or both for awhile.
In REAL SMALL PRINT it has the Deanna Bunten as Editor dbunten@woodmizer.com. If you're a Wood-Mizer owner and are not getting the Wood-Mizer Way, you might try e-mailing her with your customer number and address. Or just call Wood-Mizer 1-800-553-0182..
I just bought mine last summer and only ever received the Woodmizer news. 2 issues, I think.

I receiced my Wood-Mizer Way magazine today. 8) I assume all WM owners got their's today too. :P
Got mine. 8)
Did you see David Barnes, A.K.A. ARKANSAWYER, got honorable mention in the "Best Business" contest?
I think he should divide his winnings with all the Forestry Forum members. What do you think?
I saw David's name at the top of the division 2 list. 8) Of course the names were in alphabetical order. ;) I agree, he should share his winnings, he could not have won without us. :D

got honorable mention
Did he win?
Haven't got my copy yet. I will be in Indy in the morning for a show and plan on stopping by WM to pick up some blades so I will pick up a copy while I'm there.
Hey Dave, If you won, congratulations. And as far as the winnings........................KEEP THEM ALL TO YOURSELF! YOU EARNED IT! Thanks for all you great advice!
Arky didn't win. They had three categories where they had winners. It wasn't clear what the categories were other than maybe small, medium, and large. ???
The winners were.
Category 1,
Jason Smith
Wesbury Lumber Company
Red Creek, NY
He has an LT300 with their new E430 edger and conveyor system.
Category 2,
Mike Gogo
Mike Gogo Cedar Mills
Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, BC
He has two LT40 Supers – at least one with 43' of extra bed.
Category 3,
John Nieminen
Cooks Run Cedar, Inc.
Iron River, Michigan
He has an LT40. From the picture it must be a Super with Command Control.
Looks like the North and East took all the prizes.
Maybe someone that entered the contest can explain the categories.
Being close to Indy apparently has no advantages. I have not received my copy yet. I always seem to get mine about a week after Bibby. Maybe it goes out by seniority. . .
Koodos to Arky. There is a person who knows how to get after what he wants and does it in style. 8)
Definitely not by seniority.......I got my copy today. ;D :D ;D :D
Got mine yesterday.
Got mine yesterday.... Also have every issue of woodmizer news back to 1998....
If the wifes tells me to clean up my bookshelf again maybe I'll put them out for bid
or start a library... lots of good reading...
I think that I have all of them from 1987. I got my new copy yesterday. They said that everyone that submitted an article about their business got $250 off merchandise, so Arky did win something at least. He is the essence of woodmizer and I would have enjoyed reading his article among the winners. Maybe he will send us a copy of his submission.
David
I,m looking for mine not here on the 22ed.
I was getting worried but it finally showed up yesterday, the 15th. That business division II had a lot of competition. Now I understand why Arky wants to borrow all that money to expand. Division I only had a few entrants. :D
I got mine Thursday & my Monster Logrite Cant hook Friday . LIfe is Good !!! :D :D ;D
Got my issue yesterday. I was hoping to put my new house in the Personal Best contest, but the fine print says it has to be completed, and the house ain't gonna be done before the deadline. So I gotta wait 2 more years. :(
I didn't even buy my WM from them - I got it used, second owner, but because they did repair work on it and logged me in as a customer, I get the magazine (and all kinds of postcards and mail and so forth, tempting me to buy a new mill....).
I gotta important question - are any of the winners (and how many of the runners-up) Forestry Forum members? If not, they oughta be.
A reminder to Wood-Mizer mill owners that the closing of enteries for the Personal Best Contest is coming up in a few days – August, 31. This opportunity only comes around every two years.
Wood-Mizer gives away a total of $30,000.00 in prize credits to 30 winners in 6 categories.
Here is a link to the Wood-Mizer web page with info on the contest and pictures of previous winning entries.

I just recievied issue #70 today. Congratulations Mary on the write up!
If you bought a used Wood-Mizer and you have not registered it with us please do. It gets you all the mailings we send out to owners.
I got my Wood- Mizer Way magazine today. It has this years winners of the personal best competition. 8) The category 6, Miscellaneous Exterior Projects, has a mighty fine looking wood fence and gate. That thing sure looks familar, think I saw it this summer. Congrations Tammy, Jeff and Stacy. smiley_applause

We've not got the lastest one eather. But not everyone gets it on the same day. Looks like it takes a week or more before they get out to everybody.
HEY! They've got the latest issue out on their web site in PDF format.
Everyone can take a look.== >
Wood-Mizer Way (http://www.woodmizer.com/en/inside/woodmizerway/index.aspx)
Skim down to page 11 and see if you recognise any names ;)
Jeff and family won the midwest region of Wood-Mizers personal best competition in catagory 6, miscellaneous exterior projects, with his new pool fence he sawed on his WM-30 sawmill. Here is a picture similar to the one in the mag. I couldn't find the one where the fence is finished.

Congratulations to Jeff, Tammy and Stacey.
Good plug for the FF in that article as well. Well done.
Just noticed that a forum member won the west region of "homes and major structures" 8). Loren Wesson, aka Oregon_Sawyer, is a long time member.
isawlogs got an honouable mention for the shop/garage he built 8)
Congratulations, everyone :)
We've not got our WMW mag yet but I looked through the PDF from the WM site and I'm overwhelmed by all the projects that were entered. Good work everyone!!
Congratulations everyone!

Maybe if you would say a few kind words about Wood-Mizer you would get your magazine sooner. ;) ;D
There was a topic here a few months back hinting at this, and I was 99% certain they were talking about Jeff. Congrations Tammy, Jeff and Stacy, AND Oregon_Sawyer AND isawlogs.

More like 2 months in my case. I noticed that the back cover of mine has the address for WM Canada printed (not stamped) on the back. Still says "printed in the USA", but definitely a different print run. Guess that slows it down.
finally got mine yesterday !!!! :o

Me too! Boy! What fantastic work went into those projects! Congratulations all! 8)
:( It's Christmas and I've still not seen the latest edition. I took a peak at the on-line version, but I'd rather sit and read the real thing!
I don't have a wm mill but have got a couple issues over the years. I think it depends on how many bands I order and how many I send in to resharp .
Whitey
It's rainin bull frogs here! Washin the gullies clean.
Sooo instead of goin out and cutting slabwood like I had planned. I sat down to catch up on my magazine reading. Well what to my surprize do I see but Jeff and Tammy's fence project.
Congratulations :) And having seen the fence close up I must say it is VERY well done.
I don't own a woodmizer, I love my Norwood! 8)
But I buy woodmizer blades and I guess that's enough for them to send me the mag.
My question is, How many issus in a row does that make it that FF members have been in the mag?
Jon
I have information that leads me to believe that the forestry forum is going to be included as a whole story in the upcoming issue. Unless plans change, thats the word we heard from Deanna. 8)
Now that could be a thick magazine. ;D ;D
Pigman:
Woodmizer sent me a card that said I was a winner but they didn't tell me what.
I still haven't got my magazine yet. You would think a winner would has his already :D :D
Loren and Julia Wasson
Oregon_Sawyer, email me your address and I'll see to it you get your copy. You are flagged as accepting mailing so maybe we got something wrong on the address. Thanks
Hey Sparks Where's my copy? ???
DR_Buck send me your address and I'll get one in the mail. Oregon_Sawyer, I sent yours out yesterday.
Geeeeee whizzzzzz, I even got a copy in the snail mail, yesterday. I got one before Loren. ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ::) ::) ::)
It must be because I purchased 5 band blads for my Hudson, from them. :)
How do I go about getting "The Woodmizer Way"?? I have been a Woodmizer owner for about three years now and have only read a couple of issues that they sent to me when I was inquiring about purchasing a new mill. Keep in mind that I ended up purchasing a used LT40HD24G locally. That's obviously the reason why I do not get the magazine. It sure would be nice to read more on what other customers are doing. I may also even be more interested in placing an article on my milling and woodlot.
Thanks in advance.
Brad.
Coon,
Did you register your mill with Woodmizer? That might get you on the mailing list.
I have not seen my copy yet either. Not sure how Bibbyman got his and not me. Hopefully it is still coming.

I'm older. They knew it'd take me longer to read mine... ;D

I bought mine used from my great uncle, but I think the reason I receive the magazine is because I called them to order the manuals for the mill, which got me registered with them, as ronwood suggested. Just give 'em a call, and they'll gladly add you to the mailing list.
Bibbyman,
You said it not me :) :) :) :)

So that is the reason I was one of the first to get the magazine. :-[
I finally got my WoodMizer Way yesterday! ,,,,,,,,, I was getting worried that I may have missed it this time. Congratulations Jeff and family on a purdy good lookin' fence!

Coon, I too bought a used WoodMizer. The first thing I did was register it, bought the manuals and recieved a customer #. Then over the past 10 years or so, I purchased from them, thousands of dollars in replacement parts, engines ect. Not quite sure why I get WoodMizer Way magazine. :D :D
Yesterday I went to Portland. Ken didn't have one either. Just before I left the mail came and he had his personal copy. Today mine came. ( Of course my wife doesn't get the mail every day so who knows when it really came. ::)
I was kinda disappointed as the picture they used was taken just to show the front steps. I sent them about 20 pictures showing everything from the raw logs to the inside and outside of the house.
It is official now though that I live in a award winning house!!!
A long time ago I started out showing pictures as it progressed. One of these days I will try to complete what I started.
Loren
It's Here 8) 8) 8)
Two copies! My direct mailed (via slow barge through Singapore) and the copy sent from Indy by Sparks. Thanks for the great effort Sparks.
Now, which one should I read first? ::) ;D
I got mine today and I only asked about buying bands for a friend, Sparks offered 2 free Wood Miser bands to try and that got me a copy. Really made me proud to see our own BOSS a winner, Great job Jeff, Tammy and Stacy. I do hope the FF gets a future article, our ranks would grow by leaps and bounds. Soon we would need a larger server to host us again. We ARE THE BEST ON THE WEB!
Are any of you still getting Wood-Mizer Way magazine. I have not gotten one in quite some time.
I do but how often i can't say. it is a great magazine . When i am through i pass them on to a doc that i have sawed for many times and he enjoys them as well.
You just got to love it when a 15 year old post pops up again. One f the great things about the Forestry Forum. 8)
Yes I do. I picked up my new mill in May of last year and I've never heard of this .
A quick google search yielded this:
Woodmizer Way Magazine (https://woodmizer.ca/en/magazines)
(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/58892/woodmizerwaymag2.jpeg?easyrotate_cache=1624328432)
although I admit its not as good as a paper magazine....
I tried the Link from last year and I could not get it to work
Does anyone have a link for the current Woodmizer Way ?
Thank you to whoever resurrected this thread.
I placed an order for an LT35HD in Feb. Will that create the subscription, or does the machine have to be delivered first?

I think you just need a Wood-Mizer customer number. I bought a 40 year old used mill several years ago and get it.
