Default Exciting times ahead.

You have at least six sawmills within one hundred miles that I know of, and if you check the woodmiser list, probably a lot more.


Excellent!! Although I wouldn't really call a two hundred mile trip a
short one (my truck gets about 12-14 on the hwy and being in business
I always figure in gas), maybe I could find some of the ones you know
about within that radius. Now if I found one that worked with my
original comment (see first reply to OP) of 50 miles, that would be

sweet.

Where are they?

Like I said earlier, I know about many that are a few hours away, but
none near. I hope you aren't counting those two stoners out at
limecreek mill near Uvalde in your mix.

Truthfully, I haven't checked Woodmizer for about 1 1/2 years, and the
last ones they gave me had them for personal use or sold all their
product to private customers. The old links I have don't work, and
the two portable mill guys I bought from before have disconnected
phones.

But I am not looking for a portable mill, either, and if you got that
from my original post, I am not sure how. I was thinking in context
of my post that I was looking at the mill ends given away as firewood
being good turning blanks, etc. I do not need wood sawn, so I am not
sure about the value of contacting Woodmizer.

But a full fledged mill that ran all day would indeed be of interest.
So if you will give me some names and numbers of the six you know off
the top of your head I would certainly appreciate it.

Don't let me down.. I have already talked to a couple of my buddies
that are looking forward to a road trip if something turns up here.
One has an old one ton p/u, so the fifty mile radius would be great,
but close to that would be OK, too.
