I forgot, but just uploaded the vids I have of Virgil running his Lucas Mill. I haven't even watched them myself, but they are in 1080. I found this very interesting to watch. I've never seen any mill work like this done. Thanks Virgil for bringing it and demoing it for us!!

Sarah, just wondering if you ever seen a bow saw being raced before? I think its a first for me. It was Mikes idea, so I said I would try it.

I'm glad you got to run one, since you said you never got the chance before, sorry the 744 decided to be moody yesterday but I found out today why. It had a leaking gasket between the carb and the reed valve adapter. I must have screwed it up the other day when I had the carb off of it. It's fixed now though. I'll bring a direct drive bow saw for you to run next time. ..

It surely is a neat saw isn't it?

I had the pleasure of getting to inspect and run it a year or so when we were privileged with a visit here at my house from Mark

I wish I had been able to bring my poulans (245a and 3700) but I ran out of room

Now you had room in the back seat.

Thanks, I love doing those type of signs too. The oak slabs are heavy to work with but turn out above par ! Glad to be blessed with the opportunity to do it as well.

Thanks to Homelite410 and the Hoskeys for organizing and hosting the GTG, and to everyone else who pitched in. We had beautiful weather on Saturday and I met a lot of guys I only knew on line.

I will try and post some photos in a few days, especially if they are different from those others have posted.

I was tasked with getting people to sign in, but did not count, and do not have the official book.

That is a simply a TOP NOTCH piece of work. The skill and knowledge needed is amazing

Lots of people to thank. Thanks to the Hoskey's, Mike and all else that put this together. A thanks to modified mark, cbfarmall, and Bill for letting me and Sarah run such a cool bunch of old saws. The two man was real cool, the solo twin was very cool (love the sound of that thing), the old poulan bow saws and that stick shift homelite were a real treat to not only see but make a few cuts with, that's the stuff that makes these GTG's great. Everyone was extremely friendly and I had a great time. I sure am glad I got involved with such a great group of people. Thanks again.

Thanks for the kind words Bill. It was truly a blessing that I did not know I possessed and give thanks to the Lord for endowing me with such a gift. And the best part is being able to share it with everyone! The other carver on my team, Darick, had a close call with the tornado that hit in SEK yesterday. His aunt and her neighbors however, were in the direct path and lost their homes in Baxter Springs, Ks. He called and asked if I was ready for a carve-a-thon to help raise some money for their immediate needs. We feel this is the reason that God brought us together because we both feel like the gift of carving that we have been given should be used, not for personal gain, but to use it to help out our brothers and sisters in their time of greatest need and share the love of God with everyone that we encounter. Have a blessed day everyone!
