Hi
We are no longer able to escape the fact that winter is nearly upon us. Torrential
rain,
frosty mornings, and it's dark before dinner time.
We are gearing up for our National Fieldays though, Craig Hammond has just left for our first ever tour of Canada, a representative is about
to hit the European show circuit, and we are making two container drops in America. We certainly aren't slowing down!
We have a great issue for you of "Cutting Comments", showing you that it's possible to
mill even when you are 79 - and blind! We profile American owner Jerome Lauzon (who isn't blind), give you more information on how you
can win at
Mystery Creek this year, and we have a great giveaway to coincide with our teaser
Photo of the Month.
As always, feel free to send
through your
questions, suggestions and comments to us. We love hearing from you.
Happy milling
from the team at Peterson's
Article: BLINDNESS DOESN'T STOP FREEBURG MAN
By David Heiller
Wilbert Schuldt had a job on his hands last Wednesday, but at least he could laugh about it. A massive cottonwood log lay
between the arms of his sawmill. "It was too big for Staggemeyer to buy, and I wish I hadn't seen it too," Schuldt said.
The tree had a diameter of 51
inches and was 10 feet long. Wilbert wasn't about to tackle the whole job that Wednesday morning. But he sliced off three 8-inch boards for me in
about two minutes. Not bad for a 79-year-old blind man . . . Keep reading.
Miller Profile: JEROME LAUZON
Jerome uses his Peterson part time to bring in some extra money,
and part time to make what he needs around his property in New York State, USA. He loves the electric winch on his WPF and he can't
imagine his
mill without it, and his one recommendation is to
take your time setting up the mill.
BRING A BUDDY TO MYSTERY CREEK AND WIN
In
last months
"Cutting Comments" we mentioned that there was going to be a huge
giveaway at the NZ National Fieldays
this
year, with hats, balloons, and one brand new woodworking tool worth $3900.
The more buddies you bring to the Peterson site (G109-G111), the more
chances you have to be the lucky winner of the big prize. But no-one will walk away empty handed.
For more information on our 'Bring a Buddy' competition, or to hear of
our great Fieldays packages for airfares and accommodation email
Trudi.
Or we will see you at the show, June 14-17, Mystery Creek, Hamilton.
PHOTO OF THE MONTH
A big teaser
We are running a competition, to coincide with May's Photo of the Month, to see just how clever and creative
you can be. Peterson's have designed a cool new, umm, product, the same as what will be given away at the Fieldays and we want you to
try and guess what
it is!
So take a look, answer the simple questions,
and you will be in to win a great prize pack!

JOKE OF THE MONTH
“A husband's advice”
An elderly couple were attending their weekly church service. Half way through the sermon, the wife leant over and
said to her husband, "I just did a silent fart, what do you think I should do?"
The husband leant back and replied, "Put a new
battery in your hearing aid, dear."
