Congratulation!   I'll be looking for the info in the next Wood-Mizer news.  

We had all good intentions to building all kinds of things with the products from our Wood-Mizer but things have completely got out of hand and we've only had time to make things for other people's projects – lots of them of late.  

Mary and I were talking today and in the past year and a half we've put half as many hours on our new LT40 Super as we did on our LT40 manual mill we had used for 6 years.

Some of our customers have built some wonderful things from the lumber from our mill.  At least that's some compensation.

Maybe some day Mary and I can retire from the sawmill business and settle down with a nice LT15 and build all kinds of things just for us.

Congratulations!  That's quite an accomplishment. I'm not surprised one of you guys who frequent this forum won. Look forward to seeing the pictures, judging from past winners that gazebo must be something to see.

Congratulations on a job well done.  Usually our purpose in building a project is self satisfaction with our skills, talent and perseverance.  However, having others marvel over how well an item or project turns out is a big bonus. I also will be watching for your pictures in the Woodmizer News.

We'll have complete coverage in the Wood-Mizer News and we'll also post it on our web site when everything is ready.

You wouldn't believe the quantity and quality of the submissions.  It was truly amazing. It took quite a bit to capture the attention of our judges.

So to all winners (here on FF and everywhere) a hearty congratulations!  

And also a heartfelt "Thanks!" for choosing WM.

Awesome isaw. Funny thing is I have a mill and the only thing I have made is a log chair.

Way to go, Isaw!!!

I built a garage, a house, and a woodshed.  Then I got my Woodmizer.

Now I don't have time to build anything.  ::)

   I've been away a few days, geting my truck ready for winter (plow ,sander ) I don't have my shop - garage yet it's in the making so I go to my dad's, kick a tractor out and bring the dodge in.... ;D
     Thanks to all, ;) ;) ;)
 Making the gazebo was very fulfilling.Knowing that my daughter needed a place to go to after her chimotherapy it was not hard to come up with what to do about it .She was in need of a space out of the house,out of the sun and mostly out of reach of the bugs....
    I can't wait to see who won and what that they did .It's one of my faverite woodmizer news mags when it come in with the results I can look through it so many times , looking at what the guys did and how they went about it .
       Sometimes it's not what they did but why they did it thats interesting....
