Forum member b dukes, Brady for short, and his Dad, Ed, came by today to check out the LT15 and to give it a test drive. He is from just down the road in McRae, GA. Brady has a circle mill, but is thinking about getting a manual bandmill. He obviously has good experience as a Sawyer, and he seemed to be right at home with the LT15. Here is Mr. Ed supervising the process.

It is always a pleasure to meet Forestry Forum members, and I have been blessed to be able to meet a number of them. We talked about a lot of things wood and lumber and mills. Brady, it was great to meet you, and I thoroughly enjoyed your visit!
Looks like a great day and in a nice shady spot. :)
If you guys were milling in this 90 degree heat you're some tough cookies.
Another good man bites the dust.....sawdust that is. ;D
I like mr ed's suspenders if they came in orange i'd be all in
Glen,
It was hot, but we made sawdust do.
Al,
Mr. Ed is a Bulldog ;D. We have a few of those in Georgia :D. They like to hang around sawdust piles......
I really enjoyed meeting Danny today. He took the time to go over the entire mill , showing me everything I should know and look for. After that , he let me cut a few boards.
I have to say his mill really impressed me. Before I thought I wanted one ,but now I know I do. A guy came by last week and made me an offer on my circle mill that I couldn't refuse. He gave me a deposit and will come pick it up this weekend. So I see something orange in my future! :). Now I am on the lookout for a LT15
We tried to stop by on the way back from Florida......Danny shot at US. :D
So we ..... smiley_horserider smiley_horserider smiley_horserider

Now there's a great marketing idea, especially for us oldies whose chest has dropped. Orange/wide with Woodmizer on each side. smiley_lit_bulb

Al,
What is your bulldog thinking?
"This is my sawdust so step lightly and leave it alone. Or, else."
"This oak sawdust is very nice, but I hates sweetgum."
"If that guy in the truck is Customsawyer, I will bite him."
David,
You have a reputation :).
If that is a quiz, I would suggest #2.
"This oak sawdust is very nice, but I hates sweetgum."
Sorry mm it's pine. WDH she did want to bite customsawyer but he's so big she chickened out.The pic is from mr Tom's old sawing grounds the lodge.As soon as i get this pic posting down i will put up some nice pictures of our portable job there a while back.great place i know some of the older hands on here might enjoy seeing them again.
Just don't let Jake bite the bulldog :D.
Not without checking him for rabies first.Actually she likes old jake it's just that big old hoss cartright hat that spooks her up.
