Title: Hard to beat a satisfied customer,
Post by: drobertson on November 18, 2013, 08:15:36 PM
Just loaded what will be the finish boards to the 5th cabin, what I heard just about blew me away.
These guys build for fixed income retirement housing at a low cost, but the finish is far from what you would expect.  These guys are expert carpenters, and to have them say, "we really don't need a level for your boards"
means allot.  I have yet to see their cabins, but know the reputation of them.  Two more or so on order,
I know what I saw, but to hear it,  adds a little bit of worth to the effort,    david

Any compliment said, that makes a Sawyer smile makes it all worth it.
Way to go David.

     Congrats!  You've got a right to be proud. You're a craftsman doing what you do well.  Just remember; if your head swells too much you'll have to buy bigger hats. :D

There's allot to be said about cutting what a customer needs and leave it at that, thanks guys, and a pat on the back goes along ways in this ole boys way of thinking, a check is just the bonus,   david

In addition, I like to hear "We only had to run the lumber through the planer twice" to get a good surface!  8)

Thats great to hear. Why not write up a little story about it and send it to Woodmizer? I'm sure they would love to hear about it. It might be a good plug for you and the carpenters. Just a thought...

Good to hear the milling business is still going strong.  Sounds like you and the mill are both running in top form.  How you manage to work 8 days a week?  Best of luck!

Lights in the shed, and a very good logger buddy,  it's not always easy, but enjoyable with satisfied customers,
