I spent an afternoon working my butt off helping a guy saw up our trees
with his Woodmizer. :)

My uncle owned a sawmill and I was another source of cheap labor for him. It was usually winter work, cold and wet to fell the trees and skid them to a common point. Then he would bring in the mill where I mostly worked moving the lumber to the truck. I also rolled logs onto the carriage and turned logs on the carriage. Hard brute labor but I was young at the time.
