The Forestry Forum

I am truly blessed to be one of the first, and also the first on behalf of the Forestry Forum, to congratulate one of our longtime members, Cedarman, on a well deserved and distinguishing award.

Dave Mann, Wood-Mizer's VP and Doug Keele, head of the industrial division, visited Richard on Thursday March 23rd and presented him with the 2006 Wood-Mizer, Grand Champion Business Best Award. Cedarman, his wife and all 4 of thier children have worked hard to create this successful business. Their work ethic mixed with a load of smarts has really earned them this industry recognition.

April's Wood-Mizer Way will have a full article on the recognition of Cedarman's achievements.

Congratulation Richard and Family!

Congrats!  That's awesome!   8) 8) 8)

Your success gives plenty of inspiration and encouragement to the rest of us, as well.

Right on!

Gotta be proud of the fine folks on this forum. 8) Sure is nice to get this recognition. Well done Cedarman and crew.

I just got on the forum after a long day in the woods and some supper.  My back is kinda sore from all the thumping, but I sure do appreciate it.  Each of our family has a part of this business, some more than others. So it is a lot more than just me. It has created interesting times, too.
To have such an award from the company that I consider the best in the business is just overwhelming.
Usually I can spit out the words by the bucketful, but I  don't really know what to say other than: To be the best you have to hang out with the best and you folks are the best.

One of the best things about this sawmilling business is the people around the country you get to meet. As many of you know socializing is one of my specialties.

Tcsmpsi, my dear wife would be in serious shock if we got in a family way.  We do love our grandkids though.

Thanks to everyone.

Thanks to you Cedarman, for setting the example.

Over the years, I've gotten to "know" Cedarman by his post here on the Forum.  We've never had the opportunity to sit down and chew the fat.  Maybe someday we will.  But, from the quality of the posts and the downright optimism that he has, I've developed a lot of respect for the man.  Its good to see that someone else has also recognized the talent.

Everyone else has given you a congratulations, so I'll also give you a  smiley_thumbsup

Cedarman,

   Let me add my congratulations. I'm looking forward to your article.

We've visited with Richard a number of times and I wouldn't know him if he didn't have a big grin on his face.  I'd like to think it's his natural state of being and not that he thinks I'm funny looking. ::)

Very well deserved, congratulations. :)

I knew my relief was well warranted.   ;)

Again, congratulations on the recognition of your family's endeavor.  Well warranted, as well.

I'm proud to have been rubbing shoulders with such success. congratulations to you and your family.  Having made it as a family is another winning Kudu.  That is something to really be proud of.

Add my congrats to Cedarman and Family, too! 8) 8) 8)

Bibbyman, I've only met Richard once, but he musta thought I was funny lookin', too.

Just met Cedarman once, can see why the reward came his way. More than helpful, to a beginner. Congrats !!!!!

   
  Toute mes félicitations Richard , a toi et a ta famille, vous le méritez bien  ...  ;)

    Well ya dont think I was gonna do it like every body else now did ya ... ;D

Not seeing this until page three, leaves only one thing left to say,  :)congratulations!

 Like Danna i didn't see this yesterday so congratulations  and much more success

Right on Cedarman! Can't wait to see the write up in WoodMizer Way Magazine.

LOGDOG

 smiley_bouncing_pinky smiley_clapping smiley_bounce  Way to go!
All that red sweat has paid off big-time. You're a lucky man to have a family to help you acheive this standing. They are a lucky family who has YOU to share the praise and honor with them.   "some more than others", to be sure, but they will all remember the team leader who took them there.
Thanks for setting such a fine example for us all.

I love to see people succeed, congratulations!
Is ther someway we could see the article? I don't get the Woodmiser Way, I am assuming (dangerous) that you have to own one to get the magazine.

sawdust

Hey Sawdust,

If you buy one, the magazine is free 8). 

:D

Mrs Sawdust says I cannot afford the subscription! I doubt I can afford a mill and a divorce.  :-X

WoodMizer Way is online at the WoodMizer website, will have to wait for them to get that issue up though.  :)

The article was on the WM site last night. Comes up as pdf., 23 pages.

WTG man

Bibbyman will have to let us non-WM owners how to see the article online.

Congrats Cederman.  You're a positive role model to us all.  :)

Congrats "Cedarick" :D ;D ;D

Been busy, so I just saw this.

Hardly ever have a spare moment on a weekend so I am late to the party.

Congrats, Cedarman.  You have every right to be proud, for yourself and your family!

Way to go Cedarfamily. I feel more successful just hanging around the same forum as you and your family. Keep up the good work. Your really gonna have to pull out all the stops to top this one. From what I read this is well deserved and long over due.
Ledlie

Oh my gosh!  You didn't just win, you're Grand Champion!!   8) 8)

Totally awesome! 

Note to Leewee:  Thanks for the link! 

Woohoo Cedarman  8) 8) 8) 8)



Hey I only just figured out the scrolling banner was a link  ::)

We got our Wood-Mizer Way today ....  8) 

I read it cover to cover while Mary was starting supper.  Then she got her chance.....  Being the smartly she is,  she spotted something really odd about the article on Richard's grand prize.

See if you can spot it...  :o

Bibby, do you mean the blue ribbon with the " Business Best 2004 Contest " on it?  I noticed that two weeks ago when I got my copy. ;D

Yea,  that's it.  ::)

OK. 'nether question for you guys with sharp eyes..

On page 17 where they have the story about Dick & Ron Flynn's third place award,  they have a picture of their LT70 set up with roller conveyors going out the hitch end and over here and there.

The mill is obviously a "walk along" model with Accuset.  But it looks like it has an hydraulic box and return skid table of an LT40 model.  I thought the LT70 had the hydraulic pump box mounted mid-frame some place?  Also,  where are the hydraulic controls?  Looks like it'd be real difficult to operate if they were sticking out of the hydraulic box under the roller case as it looks like in the picture.

I know on my LT70 the hyd controls are the same as the LT40 except that I have one extra for the chain on  the log turner. The way I understand it you need to have the remote modle to get the mid mount hyd box. As to what the Flynns' have going I don't know.

You know...  I've seen quite a few LT70s at shows and such and I guess everyone has been equipped with a remote station.  I see now how the non-remote would have the box and valve assembly like the LT40 but I can't see how he gets to the valves to use them.

Maybe he's got a monkey under the roller table pullin' them?  smiley_monkeyfight

I have seen for the first time this post so i Would like to add my
congratulation to Cedarman and his family

Way to go  8) 8) 8)
