Open house in Maine-4-27-19
« on: April 28, 2019, 11:50:43 AM »
Yesterday, I traveled to Woodmizer Maine's open house.
It was a cold rainy day all morning while I was there. They even had some snow banks in the parking lot.

They had lots of demonstrations of mills:


 


 

And lots of equipment on hand.
Bed extension:


 
edger:


 
wood splitter:


 

Around 9am they announced that there was a blade presentation in the lunch room:


 

 

 

Randy Panko from Indy gave a nice presentation about all the different blade types they make and sell. And answered lots of questions.

Shortly after that they had a "ribbon" cutting ceremony for the new office addition.
But they decided to not use a "ribbon" but to use a piece of slab:




Unfortunately the guy with the chain saw was faster than my shutter finger on my cell phone.


 
But here is a tour of their new office space:
Maureen at his work station:


 
Another workstation:


 
A nice bench for customer to use while waiting their turn, I know cause that's where I was for a while.


 
Some unique shelves for products:


 

Some fancy decorations:


 

A very bright and new place for sure.

A good time was had by all.
