i first signed up about the time you were fading out. i remember a post w/vids of your friend, who later passed, taking down a large tree at your house. sorry then and sorry now for your loss.I was going to do so much stuff, and ended up doing next to nothing. But momma (Nancy) and I spent some time together, and Emerson had a decent day. I used my new old Shop smith to fix a piano bench for a friend of hers. Turns out the bench was 60 yrs old. I managed to drill out both ends of the 3/4" dowel attaching a leg to the bench, and replace it. That horizontal drill press is a good thing.
So who all is still around? I have been out of touch so long, has the whole crew been changed out?

Carl, I bet you have lots of tales to tell to help pass the time, help unloading the splits from one of the splitters, advise on saws, help keeping the saws sharpened, ... You may be retired but you ain't dead yet!

They went well...
Lot of local interest in the saw/lumber/firewood biz...
Something tells me, if that event was really promoted, there would be a bunch of local folks that would give it a whirl!!
Saw racin' is just a good time...
So is tractor pullin'... I think the John Deere will be makin' the trip next year..

I will bet you can make a mean cup of coffee for Matt Stephen Jim Lurch and myself. It could be a full time job.

It went great! Thanks to Hedge and Cobey a bunch of of people now know what a real saw runs like. Rebekah did do a little racing, so did AJ, that was fun.
If the clubs board of directors liked what they saw, we may talk them into going all out next year with advertising and entry fees with 100% payback. I'll know after the next meeting.

You and Jim need to come up, even if it's only for the day. It would be handy to have a dedicated saw sharpener there. These charity cuts are a lot of fun. Besides processing a lot of wood there is a lot of BSing going on and even some buying and selling.
Plus it would be good to see you and Jim.
Hope we can make it up for one of these someday.

I'll be putting one on in September. You are more than welcome to come. Good times, good friends, free firewood for the less fortunate.

2 years ago we were able to deliver 255 pick up loads of wood to people in Christian County. Last year we fell on our butt. Mostly my fault. Maybe 75 loads. Im not sure what the exact count is for this season is right now, but I do know we have surpassed 255. 80-90% of that was done by the good people here. I would like, and be honored, if you could come in September.
Charity Cut 6 in September, date to be determined.
