"My father at 84 years old decided he had waited too long to get a sawmill. Since he’d worked all of his life with wood as a residential contractor building homes & cabinetry in our area since 1953 he had plenty of opportunities to use such a machine. He taught me well also; by working for his firm during the summers he instilled in me the value of hard work and skill which included plumb, level, and square (or you start over). I eventually became an automotive engineer and use those skills and ethic to this day in my own firm.

He had made my daughter (his granddaughter) a large maple live edge dining table for her wedding a couple of years back and now my nephew was engaged to be married in the summer of 2019 and he wanted to do the same for his grandson. But this time, a friend had some large black walnut logs that they donated to us in the spring and he wanted to make his grandson’s live edge table from those beauties. The milling project took no time and was relatively effortless compared to the Logosol Timberjig. The table came together nicely and he embellished it with turquoise inlays (he is also a lapidary expert) as a final touch. He looks forward to more projects like that one in the future for other grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Our next project involves moving the entire mill to our cabin in the north woods of Michigan near Lake Superior. From there we will have enormous opportunities for using the mill to create rustic furniture and/or structures on our properties. We look forward to building a shed into which we can install the mill to keep it out of the weather. We are taking down some trees to make room for the mill, and these trees will yield all of the lumber we need for that structure. We are both so happy with our purchase – every log we open up is another exciting endeavor!"
