My first mill was set up by the road . My friend i bought it from suggested i should move it back in on my place to learn without on lookers . When i got home the next weekend my neighbors had chairs set up. So much for trying to hide. That was 18 years ago. Good luck and welcome.

   I wish I could get more mobile jobs by the road. Great advertising. I tend to be at the last house on a dead end road or out of sight in a pasture or woodlot. That is better for overnight security, when required, but less so for advertising. The customer still normally calls over a couple of buddies who sometimes come help, sometimes just watch. I do like making the extra contacts. No telling when it will pay dividends in the future. My son suggested I get some of these wire-legged signs and put one by the road and one by the mill when I am sawing. I may think some more about that.

   The extra eyes are nice but they can cause a dip in production and you have to be careful that nobody gets in an unsafe area. If I do make signs maybe I need to put a caution on there for that and have a little box/tray for business cards.
