What a great spokes person for DOW. Your voice is deep rich and easily understandable ( even with a little Canadian brogue) You speak slow and deliberate with out stuttering. And you know your subject matter. Great Job. TomC

Good morning brother Carl.
Thanks for the video , I really enjoyed it.

Preping wood while it’s 100F takes determination, my hats off to you two.
Andy, that is a 200hp hammer hog that reduces all the strips and slabs from the mill to mulch consistancy. A duplicate unit will be installed for the pine operation later this year. Pine mulch goes to chicken houses, H/W goes to landscape-nursery stores, sawdust goes to pellets, and .001% of the chunks go to my gasifier. 
There is no “waste”.

I’ve been dealing online with the guys at chainsawr in Stannard, Vt for a few years but had never been to their shop. They’re about 80 miles north of me on a back road. It was worth the trip to see their parts inventory.
