Envy those who can make it. Have a great time. 

Is what it is.

Hey there Rob, WOC, I was thinking that your passion for fishing was going to miss out. 
Did you notice that Resonator is bringing handmade custom rods all the way from Wisconsin? 
See what happens when guys like Tom, you and I miss a Project? 

[caveman]

Those of you who chimed in today will be missed, y'all brought a lot of knowledge and great fellowship to previous prOjects.  I started organizing items to go yesterday and will start loading the truck later this afternoon.  JMoore will meet me here for our departure at 4 a.m. tomorrow.   

[WV Sawmiller]

    I'm headed down tomorrow with a stop in Charlotte to make a delivery from my son to my daughter then I'll head for Dublin for a late afternoon/early evening (I hope) arrival.

    I saw a comment from Bruno about upsell items and it got me to thinking about items we may salvage during sawing or processing or simple items we can make and upsell so I talked to/cleared it with Jake and plan to bring down a handful of items I salvage during sawing or simple items I make and sell to help market my wood. I'd love to talk with others about similar items they salvage or convert to another product to sell.

  If you have small items or pictures of such please bring them if not inconvenient and we'll pick each other's brains for ways to save or make money on items we often waste.

    See you Friday (If I don't get lost).

We will talk about first aid and gear it to things that could happen to us.  bad cuts, bleeding, shock, head injury, crush injury.  anything else you may want to ask; I can make up an answer for.  I plan to show how I make benches.  I will prep stuff that is straight forward and show how I try to make rustic benches with some symmetry, so they look like things were done on purpose.  specifically, I will show and answer questions about equipment and techniques for tenon and mortices and the angles used.  glue up and finish.  I will likely bring my jigs and Japanese saw and cut the legs by hand since Howard, and I go round and round (all in fun) about this. 

DOC:
If you are 30 to 40 feet from a white wall and the colors are changing what does it mean?
I curious to hear your answer to that scenario.

I'm sure going to miss y'all, but know that it will be a great event.

Enjoy!

Took out mid morning. First stretch was 80 miles on the world famous Arkansas Pig Trail. Two lanes through the Ozark mountains with lots of road work due to recent slides.

Camped out now in the parking lot of the Jasper Alabama Walmart where I'll spend the night. Plan on showing up mid afternoon tomorrow. Can't wait!!!!

Maybe have a genetic mutation called tetrachromacy?  Or seeing purple in brown paint? 

[customsawyer]

Larry you might play heck getting back out of here with that truck. Especially if it's a stick shift. I might steal it.

[123maxbars]

Heading out this morning, for those not able to make it don't worry, I will have a few videos up by early next week on what went down.

Great!!! I heard the last guy signing up got to volunteer for Doc's "Stop the Bleed" class and I was getting really worried.   See you there.

[WDFL]

Sorry to add to the cancellation list but looks like I won't be able to attend.  I have a Guard deployment starting 4/21 and getting up there and back in time is just too close.

It was a great pleasure to meet you all last year and I'll be looking forward to seeing you next year!

May everyone be in good health and safe travels.

Made it to Dublin. Somewhere between here and Charlotte I lost a piece of trim off my tailgate. I am pretty sure I will find it when I retrace that 260 mile stretch through all these back roads in S. Ga. Of course the other drivers may be upset about me driving the wrong way in their lane, especially that stretch of I-77 between Charlotte and Columbia. Actually I think it was there when I stopped at the GA Welcome Center on I-20.

Either that or I might have to start checking the junkyards.

We should be there in a couple of hours 

[Magicman]

I just noticed only 11 people logged on, so it will be sorta lonesome here for a while. 

My wish is for fun and safe travel for all. 

[Old Greenhorn]

Yeah, it will be lonely, but on the other hand we can talk about them when they are not paying attention.
 My spies tell me they have already run the Lucas Mill and done a RRQS demo, tow things I wanted to see so I hope there is video.
 Yeah, we'd all like to be there, but OTOH I just had a fella leave my driveway after stuffing a couple of SGU's in my hand, so there is that.

[Andries]

That was nice of Robert to post that short YouTube. 
It looks so nice and green down there, mostly because there's blowing snow and a nasty cold wind from the North outside my window. 
It'd be nice to be down there just for the weather.

Tom, have you noticed that Robert is referring to it as a "convention", rather than a 'PrOject'?
So, in the spirit of talking about him while he isn't looking, do you think he's getting sensitive about some glaciated ribbing over his Southern drawl?

[Old Greenhorn]

I'm not certain, but that video might have been last year. Agreed the weather would be a great morale boost, I saw a photo which showed some folks in shorts and t-shirts (grits belt folks, likely) and it made me jealous. I won't have shorts on until late June, early July. We had snotty drizzle all day with cold overtones. Full time shop fire to keep the heat up.
 Yes, I think Robert, being the highly educated and vastly experienced person he is is making an attempt to minimize or mitigate any regional disparities with verbal comprehension.
 But sometimes he does tawk funny, then again, sometimes you do too.  I seem to be the only normal one.  
 I did see a few texted photos today and I was gonna call down there around lunch time, but I kept myself real busy all day and I figured i will bother somebody down there tomorrow when there is a bigger crowd.

Now that out a smile on my face!  But it's also weird because I don't EVER recall having any blue shirts printed up. SO I suspect something exceptional is at work there. Thanks for representing Jeff. And Jake, thanks for keeping it real.  You guys just keep having a blast!
