I wish I knew that yesterday that is one of my other hobbies "long arm quilter" but that is very cool and I thank the maker for the effort.

Quilt looks great.
 
Here is the fastest run from each builder. Basically a build what you can, run your own chain. Will edit the video later today to label the saws/builders.

Special thanks to Nathan and Doug for hosting/setting up the GTG. I visited Nathan about a month ago so I know how much of a transformation the place had undergone. :dizzy:
 
Big thanks to everyone that makes these GTGs happen and the sponsers for the free goodies:hmm3grin2orange:

Thanks to everyone that shows up.. Everytime is a different experience as the saws change.

Bill G thanks for the showing of rare saws that I have yet to see. Very interesting collection of machines you brought:rock: I also lost any desire to run a two man after watching you guys with that beast:msp_razz: That is a lot of work to even set up. Glad you brought them.

Nathan thanks for you letting us crash at your place a day early and hope your wife recovers from all the noise a chaos of the event. Also to the others that provided the machines to move everything around to set this all up.

Also to the cooks of this deal great food as always. Was hoskys that seemed to be working extensively at the griddle? Great warm breakfast was much apreciated after seeing it was 30 degrees in my tent on Friday:msp_ohmy:

Also thanks to Tree monkey now I'm ruined and want a MS461, Thanks for bringing that for us to see:msp_thumbup: I await hearing from you in the future:hmm3grin2orange:
