Ocean Milling
Chris DeStephano has been one of many able to take advantage of the millions of trees that were brought down in Hurricanes Katrina and Rita last year. The above oak is a large live oak that was washed up in a 32 foot tidal surge on the Gulf Coast in Waveland, Mississippi. It was stopped [...]
She’s a beauty
This was a first for Mark and Tammy Allen – a log that wouldn’t fit into their Winch Production Frame (WPF). And understandably so! I’m not sure where you would find a portable mill that could handle this beauty. This is one of six tulip poplar logs that Mark and Tammy have recently picked up [...]
Jake says ‘I do’
The day had finally arrived. The shoes were polished, the dress was pressed, the guests were waiting, and the Rotorua sun was even shining. It was finally time for designer Jake Peterson to say ‘I do’, and marry his longtime love, Angela Grant. The wedding took place in a beautiful ceremony by Lake Tarawera late [...]
And the old becomes new
An old smokehouse has been reborn with the help from a Peterson sawmill in West Virginia, USA. Built in 1901, the smokehouse on the Wagoner Family Farm was built as a residence for Daddy Wagoner while he rebuilt the farmhouse that had burned down the previous year. He was 20 years old at the time, [...]
Bubbels!
We figured since no-one had been doing any milling and everyone had been playing Bubbels that it was only appropriate that Chris’ score make Photo of the Month for February. So for all those who didn’t believe, here is the proof! Chris is Champion. And if you were wondering what language the site is in, [...]
A Peterson Christmas
While we are enjoying a balmy summer here in New Zealand, our Northern Hemisphere owners are chomping at the bit waiting for Spring to come so they can get back out sawing. In the meantime though, one of our US owners thought he would include his Peterson in the Christmas celebrations, so he’s given it [...]
Just out of reach
One of our factory workers, Paul, is trying to adjust something on an old Automated Swingblade Mill but finds it’s been wound up just a little out of his reach. Lucky for him he can still operate the machine, since the controls are down low. I don’t think we could use him to tail out [...]
Taking a break
From Craig Blake . .. . Early morning misty rain mixed with wood smoke from the campgrounds… yet another year in the mud at the Paul Bunyan Festival in Nelsonville Ohio. Thank goodness for rainsuits, and I hate to tell you what the rental car looked like after 3 days!! Two weeks later, a return [...]
A tough day at the office
New Peterson owner Glenn Marquette got more than he bargained for on a recent trip Down Under. Thinking he was just coming for training on his new purchase, and a little tiki tour around the country, Glenn found New Zealand isn’t necessarily the quiet sleepy little place he had imagined. After a day or two [...]
You’re Never Too Old
Peterson mills really can be run by people of any age! Here, we have three old friends, milling on their ATS. Jim (right) is the youngest of the group at 66 years of age, Trevor is 76, and Alek is 82 years old. They are doing some milling in the front yard of Jim’s Kaponga [...]
