[Jeff]

He ups''d it to me. I have it now. I got a few photos I'm going to put on later but I am required to be at the Clare county court house this morning for Jury Duty.

Anyone get a picture of the WM single blade edger that someone mentioned?

[Dan_Shade]

think LT10 of edgers, Bibby

they have a flier for it.

[MartyParsons]

I cant help you on the edger, it worked pretty well. I think they had some mods to make to it. There were other new products on display ( Sorry no Pictures). Dual tooth setter hand crank, Hydraulic turner kit for a LT40 non hydraulic with the Bibbyman HSS kit, New resaw attachment. This will do wider boards and resaw slabs it is wide belt driven. Electric Winch to operate the turner and to load logs on the LT28 and LT40 models.

Y'all went to Sawlex and all I got was two shirts and a Hat. ;D
I was really disappointed about not being able to attend again but was surprised when these showed up today.   My wife ordered them when my new SW Magazine came in as a surprise.  Today is our 28th Wedding anniversary and as luck would have it, they showed up in time.  I needed a new hat real bad so it was good timing.   Wish I could have been there but at least I have some clothes. 8)

This is the firewood splitter competition on the first day. The OSB frames that had two holes - 6 by 6 inches and 4 by 9 inches were set up and every stick had to pass through it or go back and be re split. There has to be rules and it was the same for everyone but that wood had to really be split fine.



This is the firewood processor competition on the second day,some of the elevators could reach the trailers.
Some of the people I talked to thought it was a double standard that the splitters were held to such a high standard and all the the processor's had to do was cut wood to length and split any way they wanted. Some only had a 4 way split on a 16" block.Hard to have rules for everything ,probably the market place is the best judge.

This is the look you get when you give the gal from sawmill and woodlot a partial plate of cookies, then pull out a whole new tray while she is still looking.


This guy look familiar? It's the full timer Part timer.
