The Forestry Forum

Hey guys,

First of all I want to say a huge thank you for all the knowledge imparted on these forums, it's no small part to how I've progressed at my place of work to being the milling supervisor. So, truly, thank you.

I've been lurking here for over a year and feel like now I can participate without sounding like a complete fool. Here we mill hardwood all year round with a 2016WMHD40 and a 1998 stretched WMHD40 and earlier this year we added a TruCut 96" which has been an excellent learning tool. The manual for it is a little... sparse.

I chose the handle Factory Seconds because that's what we mainly mill - Logs that are rejected from the big boys for not being of their particular standard. We only do live edge for the custom/boutique furniture builders and have 2 large kilns on site. 

A special shoutout to @YellowHammer (https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=11488) for his videos and mainly his demeanor and approach to work. For this Scottish immigrant I've often thought "What would YH do?" when my head gets heated lol. Take a breath, make it right.

So again, great to be a part of such a great community.
Thanks
FS

Thank you for the welcome. I'm in Ontario, Canada now. 

Welcome!  Thanks for the compliments and I wholeheartedly agree that this is the best Forum on the web and with the best folks anywhere.  

Thanks for watching the videos, I try to make them as real as I can, and put a few tips in them to keep people awake.  The best part of being in business is a chance to be the best and you are right, take a breath, step back and make it right.  There are way too many businesses that do it wrong and push out junk.  Sounds like you are on the right track and if I can help, let me know.
