Thanks for the pictures! Really good to see the mill is working for you. You have done a bunch with it already. Nice looking bench!

Well, keep it up, Eddie, looks like you're having a fine time with that mill. I see the big smile on your face!
When I'm sawying, I'm smiling, too. I used to work for a farmer who was all frowns and scowls most of the time, but once he hopped on a tractor, he was all grins. It usually just takes some time at the sawmill to snap me out of a bad mood.

I can tell you're enjoying it! Keep us posted on what fun you have!

I'm happy for you. You will love the smell of sawdust.

Guys this is actually my 3rd mill. I have retired 3 times and bought a new mill each time to keep busy. REAL BUSY!!!!!! Addicted I would say. This is the smallest I have owned, and must say I enjoy it a lot. My first mill was ORANGE with a 23 hp electric start engine. That's a dead give away !!!! The second retirement mill was by Stan Bookman. Now the Hud-Son HFE-21 homesteader mill. Like this retirement a lot.

You retire like some folks get married. Maybe the third time will be the charm. ;D :laugh:

eddiebo · December 26, 2012, 02:58:15 PM

Well I've actually done that 3 times too :( Is that called double dipping ? :P

Good to see you enjoying your mill Eddiebo.

That's a fine little mill, there are quite a few of them in this area!

It's great when you're doing work that you actually enjoy! ;)

That's called being a glutton for punishment. :D :D :D

JK, there's nothing better than being married to a good woman.

Thank God for giving me another chance to listen to Him and be blessed with a true jewel. Often times we just go into things on instinct instead of following important instructions.
