Sawing Project 2024

[Nomad]

     I'll bring plates and bowls.

[doc henderson]

for now you can count on universal paper goods.  (cash).  may bring other stuff too.

[Mr. Buck]

Hi y'all. If it's not too late for a noobie sawyer / experienced furniture maker to join in, I'd love to come along and meet many of you. I'm happy to donate funds and/or supplies - whatever is needed.  Unfortunately, it will just be me (Greg). My wife is having back issues and can't handle the long ride.  Friday/Saturday for sure.

Edit to follow instructions : I think I'll be #50!  I'll bring money for donating to the cause, and I'm happy to run errands when I get there. If something specific is needed, just let me know.

It's Project tradition that we bring award winning Alabama BBQ from Tennessee, so no worries there, we will bring a mess of it. 

[Mr. Buck]

Mmmm  mr Bishop's ribs from Tuscaloosa. My dad and I would stop in to Dreamland back in the 80s. Great memories  

[Mfrost459]

Count me in and I will bring tables and chairs. Adam will be with me so that will make 51 & 52. We can also brings some plates and cups for the meals. Really looking forward to this year! Always enjoy hearing some of the stories at this gathering. The fireside chats get rather interesting.
We will be down Thursday afternoon.

If this means you're cooking/grilling, I make a good helper - I'm used to serving crowds.  I'll find you and see if you need a hand  

[YellowHammer]

Thanks for the offer, there is always a grill of something going at the Project.

We have a local guy from North Alabama but moved to Tennessee (about 10 miles) that makes really good BBQ, we've been eating it for decades it's that good. So we always bring a cooler of it for an easy meal.  

As far as grilling, Jake always ends up grilling up a big wad of hamburgers or something on his mega cooker.  A couple years ago we did 60? chickens or chicken halves, I don't remember.  It was all racks full and the most I'd ever done, it was a little comical when I set the Kingsford bag on fire and threw it on the ground, and scared enough people about asking what temp chicken was done at that I ended up being magically handed not one, but two meat thermometers when I told folks I learned to grill watching Discovery Channel and was pretty sure chicken was done when the meat was just turning pink at medium rare.  

That was funny, and all of a sudden I had a lot of supervision!  Nobody could tell if I was being a smart aleck or not, I even pulled out the phone and said I found a website that said smoked chicken was done at 130F.  

Anyway, these projects are a lot of fun, an we look forward to coming every year.

After the excellent event (my first) in 2023, I was wondering about this year.  Stopped by TroyC's place a month or so ago and he filled me in, so I'm going to be #53.

Looking forward to another day in the beautiful central GA hospitality shown by Jake, being surrounded by good folks learning an art using one of the best renewable resources available.

Having scrolled through Bruno's thread about wanting to move south  it is probably not a good idea for me to bring Yankee Pot Roast.

[customsawyer]

As most that have been can confirm, we don't turn down any offers to help. We have a Grill Masters, and Grill Nonmasters, but we all pitch in and do what is needed. Vic and some of the other ladies will have the kitchen jumping and all sorts of good food coming out of it. It all runs like smooth chaos.
If you go and watch the videos of the project,  that some have posted over the years it will give the new comers a better idea of the happenings.  Or you can go search for past projects on here, in the sawmilling board.

Thank You Jeff. 

I will be bringing some "Mystery Wood".

[terrifictimbersllc]

We're coming in a truck camper. Who's staying at an RV campground nearby and what's the name/

[ItIs WOOD ItIs]

If you could add Brandon Stroud & Keith Stroud to the list.  We will be there the 18th (possibly), 19th, and 20th for sure.  We're willing to bring whatever is needed to be brought.  We've been looking forward to this for quite some time!    

[beenthere]

Recall this video of 2022

[Old Greenhorn]

Beenthere, I think that was 2023, unless I was there in 2022 and forgot about it.  Either way, what a fantastic weekend!

[Mossy Chariot]

[Magicman]

We are cautiously adding our names to the list making us #47 & 48.

PatD (Pat) and Magicman (Lynn)

Sadly we are having to withdraw our names from the attendee list....again this year.

We were so hopeful, but it is again beyond our control.  Lynn

[jbond03291971]

I will bring some pop and bottled water

[jmouton]

we are going to make it now,,,,56,57,58 maybe one more but wont know for a bit

[Nomad]

I'll be bringing a buddy with me.  Got no idea how many people that makes now.

[NE Woodburner]

Sure is nice of Jake to put these on.

Getting close now...I sure would like to make it one of these years if these keep going. Retirement is right on the horizon, so maybe soon...

[WV Sawmiller]
