That was  a neat video!

[Jeff]

He sure had that band sawing nice and flat that day didn't he?

[Jason_WI]

Cool video! Way to go, a Lumbermate user on TV.

Hopefully all this attention this doesn't hamper your ability to saw where you are located. Someone on the local zoning board could see it and go ape****.

Jason

[Tom]

Yep.  must've spent all night getting it ready. :D

How much lead time did they give you Mark?

Notice how clean his yard is too ;D

[chet]

Anybody dat would buy a sawmill in a treeless state deserves ta be on TV.  ;D  

I still can't beleave yur neighbors are so understanding.   :-/  Although you do resemble dat Santa Claus guy a little.

Up here in Terrace(nuther name for Wheredahellissatt?) if I fired up my mill in the driveway, Id be rattlin my tin cup against the bars sayin  "Jailer, bring me my grool!!"  You, on the otherhand have the blessing of the neighbourhood and local TV station....Thats cool.

[Norm]

Nice job Mark, our very own movie star! I have to agree you must have some good neighbors. Thanks for posting it Jeff.

[OneWithWood]

Good job, Mark.  You even kept the due cards out of the picture ;D

You know you could have easily convinced folks that you was Santa come south for vacation and was milling up some lumber for the elves  

[whitepe]

Cool Mark,  8)
When are you going to bring home one of those
CAT 554 Forwarders to help with your logging operation.
P.S.   I want my own copy of the video tape.  

[Mark M]

Thanks for putting that on Jeff and thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

I didn't get much time to prepare for the video, the TV station is a block away and the guy stopped by and said he noticed I was up to something and wondered if it was OK to shoot some video. About a 1/2 hour later he came down with a camera and set it up and shot for about 30 minutes. I had the worst log of the bunch on there and I kept thinking that if anyone see this who knows about sawing they will be laughing.

I've been pretty amazed that no one has complained either. I guess Bismarck never had the need to have a no-sawmilling-in-town ordinance so they don't bother me. My neighbors are good and usually come over and watch or help. I try be considerate and don't saw early or late and usually only on the weekend when everyone is moving grass. It helps to be on a corner lot. There is a church across the street and dem folks people don't bother me to much with their singing so I wait until they are done before I saw.

We are supposed to get da new old house this weekend so we'll see what happens when we move. I told the guy across the street that the bad thing about us moving is he might have some kook move in who puts all kind of crazy stuff in the driveway. ;)
