October, 2005
We have finally headed into Daylight Savings down here in New Zealand, meaning
we are able to start enjoying the longer, warmer evenings that mean only one thing
- Summer is coming! Now we just need that rain to stop.
In this issue of "Cutting Comments" Trudi points you towards the fantastic resource
that is The Forestry Forum, and we show you just how easy it is to operate the
ASM in our Photo of the Month.
Don't forget about Peterson Points and how you can be earning your way towards great prizes, even though you aren't
an owner yet. We've also added Craig Blake's wrap up of the Shootout to our website.
Happy milling,
from the team at Peterson's
RESOURCE CENTRE - THE FORESTRY FORUM
Trudi points you towards quite possibly the best resource in the world for sawmillers - www.forestryforum.com
With over 2,800 members contributing to 13,700 topics, you can soon get lost
at this place. It's huge! Many of you are already members, but if you haven't
already cruised over to The Forestry Forum, then you've gotta go check this place out! You'll find a few familiar faces
around, though I'm not sure I am allowed to give away any names - ask me for them
later!
If you have a question about anything, I guarantee that someone here will have
an answer for you. Whether you own a mill or not, you will find it a fascinating
place. And it's not all about sawmills either - chainsaws, drying methods, tree
identification, forestry, shows . .. life - it's all there. They are a fantastic
bunch of people, so get in and get hooked! You won't regret it - unless someone
else wants your computer!
PHOTO OF THE MONTH
Glenn demonstrates a hard day at the office
Glenn Marquette won’t forget his recent adventure Down Under in a hurry. He is
now the proud owner of a new remodelled ASM, and thought he would combine a little
business with pleasure, coming over to New Zealand from Wisconsin, USA, for his
training in late September. Glenn experienced the harsh NZ sun, the impact of
NZ beer, a birth, a bung transmission on his campervan, and much more. Oh and
of course, there was a little sawmilling done between the adventures!
October’s Photo of the Month shows just how easy it is to operate the ASM, as Glenn
enjoys a seat at the end of the mill. All he needs now is the beer! See the photo and read more online.
TESTIMONIAL
Still not sure that Peterson's is the best?
We received this last month from a happy customer in the United States.
"I wanted just a basic mill, but like everyone else has said - get what you want
not what you need. I had a bit of buyers remorse for spending the extra money
while waiting for the mill but the first time we cut that went away. I could
not be happier. No problems with the shipping and great communications. Real
good training manual and video. Excellent customer support."
UPCOMING SHOWS & EVENTS

If there are no shows listed in your area and you would like to see a Peterson
sawmill in action, send an email to Tanya to arrange a demonstration from a Peterson agent.
LAST LAUGH
A bumpy landing
A pilot landed a plane with a rather bumpy landing. As part of his job he was
required to stand by the terminal door and say goodbye to the passengers as they
exited the airplane. He was afraid that someone might say something about his
rather less than perfect landing, but everyone left without saying a word except
for one passenger, an elderly lady, who slowly approached the pilot after most
passengers had exited the plane and asked, "Did we land? Or were we shot down?"
