Sawing project 2020

[SawyerTed]

@123maxbars now that would be a movie!   8) 8) 8)

One that would require eye bleach after watching!  No offense intended to 123maxbars but but that's not the sawmilling video I want to see! :D  :D

Nathan,

   Please don't do it. I am still trying to clear my memory of the suggestion from Lynn about him walking into WalMart wearing a mask and gloves only to find the rest of the customers had on their street clothes too. There is a limit to how much a person can purge from their mind. I don't think I could take 2 such traumas so close together.  :D

Our gallon jar leaked when we inverted it so used 2- 1/2 gallon canning jars.
This was after we had made the gallon recipe.
Meyer lemons are usually available in the produce section and are put in whole.

The governor of NC just announced a statewide "stay at home" order that will last 30 days, so it looks like I'm not going to be able to attend.

Bummer....

[customsawyer]

Don't think this is going away by the middle of next month so I'm officially canceling the project. 

[Sixacresand]

I hate it had to be cancelled.  I know that Jake's county has laid down the law about limiting gatherings to 10 people.  Jake, we appreciate what you do to put on these Projects over the years.  Looking forward to the next one. 

[WV Sawmiller]

Jake,

   Thanks for all the effort expended on this effort. Sorry it can't continue at this time but we all understand. I'll leave the catfish in the lake on the hoof to grow a little longer so they will be fresh for the next time.

[SawyerTed]

I too am very appreciative of Jake and others for the work it takes to put something like this together.  Emily and I both were excited about the opportunity to meet in person and to the sharing of expertise by the more experienced here.

I hate that the sawing project had to be cancelled. I appreciate the effort from Jake, Gene, Danny, Robert, and Everyone else in putting this together.
We will get some lemon bourbon going in hopes that we can have another sawing project.

[RichTired]

Jake, I also appreciate the efforts you and others involved with this Sawing Project have put in to organize this event and I hate that it had to be cancelled.  :embarassed: 

But under the circumstances, I fully understand. Hoping everyone stays safe and healthy!

[DbltreeBelgians]

I was looking forward to the project but was just about to pull the plug on coming down. Thank you Jake and everyone involved for all the great effort in planning this get together. Hopefully all this chaos will settle down soon and we all can get together at a later date.
Everyone please stay safe.

I'm sorry to hear this
Hopefully you might be able to do one in the fall.

Very wise move to cancel. The effects of this virus are expected to surge in the coming weeks. Strange world right now.

[caveman]

Jake, canceling the project is the prudent thing to do.  I attended my first one several years ago and I look forward to it each year.  The knowledge that is shared freely, the fellowship with friends who have the same maladies (sawdust toxicity and other similar disorders), the food, and the opportunity to learn from  the best in the business from all over this continent are some of the reasons I look forward to attending each year (Usually, the only day I take off of work for the whole year is the Friday of the project-I have about 270 sick days saved).

The virus is getting cranked up here and not all of the folks who likely have it are being tested.  This morning Hillsborough County (Tampa) and Orange County (0rlando) both had 174 cases each.  By 11 a.m., Hillsborough was well above 200.  Let's try to stay safe and hopefully we can all make it to the next project.  

I appreciate all of the effort that you put in to host this annual event.

I agree, next year we can talk about the covid 19/20 virus that prevented us from coming.  we all are willing to sacrifice to come there, but we have to be safe and not endanger the older and chronically ill.  I was looking forward to being a second year attendee,  but if half of everyone could not come, I can wait a year.  Put us down for next year and save us a spot for a 41 foot trailer.  close to where ever the lemon bourbon stuff is!!  thanks Jake. @customsawyer

[YellowHammer]

Yes, it's a good decision.  Good call.  

[Southside]

Completely agree it's the right call.  I will miss getting away and visiting with friends, but will very much look forward to the next gathering.  

[smokeatrr]

I thinks this the best choice. Looking forward to the next one. I hope everyone is well and stays safe. 

[Sixacresand]

Life goes on. WDH and Customsawyer will probably RRQS a huge sycamore.  At least, I hope they do.  

[K-Guy]

@customsawyer 

I'll miss seeing everyone but at least my eyes will spared looking at you ugly mug, Jake. :D

Any thoughts on rescheduling in the fall?

[customsawyer]

I'm having thoughts all the time. :D
At this time I haven't been thinking about a fall version. The last time we had one in the fall we almost killed some northern folk with our warmer climate in the south. Not sure I could deal with that level of whining again.  :D

[Nomad]

     Life is what it is.  Good call.  There's always another opportunity. 

[Bruno of NH]

Danny and Jake come north and give you demo's on my mill in the fall. 
The weather is great.
Jake you could ride your bike in the mountains.
It's great riding in the fall :D
No bugs or humidity. 

[jmouton]

level of whinning from us northerners,  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
