This weekend my mother gets to watch me saw some lumber for the first time on my new mill. It will bring back alot of memories for her.  Both of my parents started out sawing lumber and peeling posts for a living back in the yearly 60s. And she always said that was the best and most rewarding work they did and loved every mintute of it. And this weekend it's going to be something I will always remember and feel proud of.  This is something I just thought I would share with you folks.

Lucky her and you. Neither of my parents got to see my mill. My Mother would not of understood how it worked,but would of enjoyed seeing it. My Father and me looked at a few when he was alive.

Congrats on the Mom Demo.  smiley_thumbsup

I remember the morning that I loaded my Mom into her car and I drove to the sawmill.  I parked so that she had a good view and could watch me saw a log.   :)

Wonder if anyone ever welded up a tandem seat for a sawmill?   A "sawmill built for two"!

Larry,
Happy Mother's  Day to your Mom. Tell her for me that this 78 year old enjoys every minute of sawing and I just bought my mill in February. Sawing for the first time in my life.

I've sawn logs at my Mom's house quite a few times and she would always get in her golf cart and drive out and watch me saw a few logs!

We both liked it very much.

She would always say "I love the smell of Pine".

I haven't sawed there the last 2 years, and now she isn't able to get around like she did a few years ago!

But I'll always remember her sitting there and watching me mill lumber!

It should be a wonderful day. She hasn't been around a sawmill in 20 years. She told me she can't wait to sit down watch and have that smell sawdust all day.

That sounds like a good day Larry.
