Neslrite, Jim_Rogers, Noble Ma, Mrs.Bull, Bull, Isawlogs


Isawlogs, Tom from Missouri and another nice man from Baker. I liked thier edger. Efficient and well thought out.


It was REALLY windy  :o This gang is holding down some cant hooks


Captain's father had been offbearing for him but was taking a break when a demonstration was requested so Isawlogs got to help out.
It seemed to me that the Peterson sawmill drew alot more people than the other mills and Captain was always ready to saw at a moments notice.
Thanks for your hospitality, Craig, and I hope you get lots of business from the show. ;D

Seems like Springfield Mass for the show next year is what the Thomas guys said.Bibbyman,don't be too sad,Woodmizer were there.No Mobile Sawmill this year,was really looking forward to seeing that saw again.That guy with the firewood wrapper had alot of BS to throw around.Quite the critter he was.Took one of my friends and he couldn't believe how much stuff was up there to see.Not one cable skidder to see.New cable skidders are not in demand,I guess.They were a big deal up until a few years ago around here.Times are a changing.

I think the big man in the middle with the sun glasses is Mr. Tom Stout - A.K.A.  Tom-in-Mo.  Not to be confused with Tom-in-St.Louis.  But ... I've been wrong before.

I wouldn't worry about offinding Tom.  He's a good ol' boy - pretty laid back and down to earth.  Besides,  if he'll put up with me and Arky,  he's got to be pretty thick skinned.

Now,  I don't know about Tom-in-St.Louis.  He may be stalkin' you... :D

Nobody talked to the WM guys?  No updates on their new featrues?  Did they have a bunch of LogRite hooks there in that real nice orange color?

I think Thomas might get lonely in MA next year.  Everyone we saw said Essex next year and the program had a full page  SEE YOU IN VERMONT!

Wow what a show! A great turn out from FF members, and all the other fine folks from the North East.

    Yes the Baker guy in the middle is Tom-in-mo.
 
   Woodmizer was moving all the logs with the yellowishred cant hooks. I did make the rounds to the 3 WM booths, talked to Dave Mann, Dave Scott , Randy, Janet, Kyle, and Kevin plus a few more folks.

   I did get to talk to the David Billenstein from Just Caps he had a FF hat in his display ;D

  The only person I did not get to talk to was Don Lewis from NYLE, I did get to meet his son, but I was hoping to meet Don.

That is about all I have to add, see you in OHIO :)

Here's Captain with a winner of a log


This is what he did to it


We all had a good time, if you like strong winds and cold weather. Least it didn't rain till sunday's ride home. What a long drive 8 1/2 hrs, and not at all as intresting as William & Vermonter.

QuoteI did get to talk to the David Billenstein from Just Caps he had a FF hat in his display

David called me today to tell me about that. I think seeing those hats that far from home impressed him to make the call.  I hope to come to some sort of arrangement with him to help us with forum hats. (sponsorship?)  that would be cool.  I know a lot of you guys need hats for your businesses as well, so perhaps it might be a good fit for each other

Just some words of thanks!! :)

I need to say that there was hardly a time during the show that I looked around the Peterson site and did NOT see Forestry Forum hats.  Thanks for stopping by and for all of your help!!

I know there were more, but I thought too late of a "Forestry Forum Signup Board" to tote to shows this year.  We'll have to do one for SAWLEX.

Thanks to all, especially MARCEL for the help and moral support, it was a tough show with the wind and the high quality logs I had to work with  ::)

 You bet Rita liked your bench  8) now I got to make her one  ;D.
Have a good show at sawlex.

Captain:
Just add our names to the "board" when created and put the date we viewed your demo on it.
That'll be good enough for me......
