Sawing Project 2024

[customsawyer]

Well I figured it is time to let y'all in on the dates and the plan. The main dates for this project is April 19th and 20th. For those that want to come in a day or two early that is fine and dandy. I'll be running a sawmill business all week, so if someone wants to come for the whole week and get put to work that's okay too. There is no telling what orders will be getting done and sent out.
My main plan is the same as the original plan of 2023. Of course once that big log showed up then all those plans went out the window. We will demo sawing some pine and cypress on Friday and a quarter sawing demo on Saturday (in memory of Danny). When we can fit it in, we will mix in running the planers some, the Slabmizer, and the Lucas if some folks want. If there is enough interest in a specific subject then we will try to get someone with experience to teach it. 
We will need to keep a head count as we go and what days folks are coming so as to have enough food for those days. If it looks like we are going to run low then someone can jump in a truck and run to the store and get it. Caveman has generously offered to bring lunch for folks on Thursday. We normally have salad and spaghetti that evening. Do a pizza run for lunch on Friday with hamburgers and hotdogs that evening. Saturday will have the famous Julio chicken with fixings for lunch and leftovers that evening. 
There are lots of motels at the intersection of Interstate 16 and Hwy 441/319. It is exit 51 on the interstate and right at 6 miles from my place. There is some campgrounds not to far from me, with a new one going in now on the 441 bypass in Dublin, GA. Don't know if it will be finished by then. I don't mind if a few campers just park here as long as we can put them somewhere out of the way of operations. Just like in years past let's please keep this off of Facebook and other social media until the event. Thanks.
When you commit to come please add what number you are and if you are bringing something to pitch in. I make #1.
Address is:

Jake:
Concerning your statement: "Of course once that big log showed up then all those plans went out the window".
I think they were merely side tracked.  I enjoyed the big log episode.  It's not everyday that you get to see how others tackle a challenge.  You did very well.
Mike & I are planning on attending so I guess we will be #4 & #5.
Thanks for the opportunity.

Call me very likely (but not 100% certain) #19. I want to get through the next few winter months before I make any reservations.

[Jeff]

Its pretty early for me to commit to anything much past eatin for a couple three months yet.

[jrsloan1]

Like several others, I have it on my calendar but just a bit early to make reservations.  However, if there is any way possible, I'll be there.  I especially want to meet and talk to lots of y'all.
