Here's some exciting news from Sticks Milling. We are getting near to installing sheet rock on the bed and breakfast. Is there anyone out there with a large propane heater I could rent when the time comes?

Good morning from the Santa Set in Woodland, Wa!
I am a real-bearded Santa on a beautifully decorated venue for photography and visits. Only 4 days till Christmas! I am happy to report that we are open every day from RIGHT NOW through DECEMBER 23, from noon till 6 p.m. We will NOT be open Christmas Eve. Suggested donation: $60 per family. And yes, this venue is worth it. Address: 460 Fredrickson Road (the driveway on the right just past Galaxy) near Merwin Dam. Follow the driveway candy canes.
My guests should bring their own cameras, video recorders, or whatever. Take as many pictures as you like. Today's picture is one of the absolute best pictures I have had the privilege of being in during my entire Santa Career. She has a place in my heart till the day I die. If you would like to see more, go to "Santa Set in Woodland, Wa" on Facebook. Have a great day!

A portable sawmill, stolen from a Tumwater job site in August, has been found and returned to owner Brian Trembley.Trembley estimates the value of the machin...

My name is Brian, the operator of this portable sawmill. I co-own Sticks Custom Portable Bandsaw Milling with my wife, Kayleen and we have been in business for over two decades.

Through our efforts and a lot of very good people God has put in our path, we recently recovered my stolen mill. My wife and I have been damaged financially but, more importantly, we are trying to generate funds to help prosecute those responsible in an attempt to stop them from continuing to hurt others like they have hurt my family. We will also be distributing reward money to those who were instrumental in finding and helping recover my mill.

As for mill repairs, major items that require replacement (that I have found so far) include:

•Front control panel
•Ignition switch
•Hydraulic line
•Two broken bolts requiring the help of our local machine shop to re-fabricate
•License plate & tabs
•Jacking rod
•All electrical connections having to do with brakes and lights
•Fuel pump

This will take a while and require significant part investments.

We want to thank every one of you for posting, commenting, sharing, helping with details, calling to offer support and prayers, and being our eyes and ears where we could not be. We saw how many times our posts were shared and can’t imagine how many tens of thousands of people were helping us in our search.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

This was my third customer on this hot, sunny day. ☀️🌳🪓🪵🪚🧡 He is a former woodshop teacher and will be making some wonderful pieces for his lovely wife.

Milled up this sequoia for the neighbor of a past customer. It took two days and cut very nicely!

He will be using it for some upcoming projects and I can't wait to see what he comes up with! 🪵🌳
