I had a great time yesterday, met some more great people and learned a few more tricks and to me thats what these GTG are about. Plus we had a lot of great food and a host in Eric, thanks again for having us.

I have to say thanks to Stipes for bringing the Mini-Mill for me to try out and thar Johnny is a great saw!! It felt like it had a load of power. Great to meet ya!

And thanks to Outdoorliving for bringing the 2X8's for the milling setup without that we'd have been SOL in trying the mill. And the Mall saw... that was the neatest thing of the day. A great piece of family history there Outdoor.

I tried to remember to take more pics and I did a little, but Scott took most of them so I guess thats why I'm in a lot of them.

Sorry, I forgo to thanks Stipes also for the cant milling. You and Gink worked harder than anybody Saturday. Food was a hit too. I'll have sme of that sauce today later on something.
Terry, great pic of the security team. Good thing Eric didn't need there services. They looked like they could whoop up on somebody hehehehehe.
 
Oh yeah, thanks to whitedogone for bring some nice GB bars for me and to Pinemartin for that Bar adapter, he gave it to me for free!!! Thanks again fellas:cheers:
 
It wasnt my picture Bill, I stole it LOL. Ill have to nominate Brad for being one of the hardest workers there too.
Yeh, I gotta agree there too he sure moves alot at these GTG's. Wonder what he's on when he there...Lol just kidding.
Brad, you ad life to any GTG!

I have to agree, brad makes me tired just watchin. Tune - cut - retune - cut, next saw and repeat. tuning all his saws and not to mention many other peoples saws too, takes much effort and time. I'm sure anyone he helped is much appreciated
 
Yeah no kidding!!! Did you see how drenched his shirt was, he was going non stop:)


Watching Gink and Brad go at it was enough to wear me out..... Oh ya that and that :censored: Red Oak stump Eric wanted to just cut in half and quarter. Good way to break in the new 440. WDO

LOL!!! When we were leaving I seen you working at that and thought :censored: that!!! That looked like way more work than what I did milling:cheers:
 
are you guys sure you had fun ??

i did'nt see a single beer can in any pictures or the video ??

are these GTG thingys "dry" ?? LOL

wish i were closer, maybee someday..
 
Yep, since most folk drive long distances to get there and then play with power tools that could very easily be lethal, "dry" is the best route to take.
