On Tuesday this week, the Australian Forest Growers conference participants were welcomed at the Lucas Mill factory for an afternoon which included a factory tour, live demonstrations and the opportunity to opperate the range of portable sawmilling equipment available from Lucas Mill.

It is very encouraging as a potential portable sawmill buyer to know that it is possible to generate a significant enough return from your Lucas Mill to pay for the machine in a very short period of time.

One of our customers in New Caledonia has proven that this can be done in one day! With the proceeds from one log, this very happy customer was extremely pleased to earn a sufficient return to completely cover the cost of his new mill.

For the first time in the history of the series, one competitor has stepped up to snatch all of the top prizes across the 6 stages of the world championship timbersports event. David Bolstad from New Zealand has sealed his name in the history books for the games, outshining the best of the best to take home the top prize, 23 score points ahead of his nearest rival.

Earlier this year, the Indonesian distributor for Lucas Mill was asked by the Governor of Papua in Jayapura to come and demonstrate and train people in the use of Lucas Mills, as a sustaiable method for harvesting timber into the future. The machines received an excellent response, particularly from the Governor and the Head to the Forestry department in Papua.

This week Lucas Mill hosted a training visit with our distributors from Papua New Guinea.

This visit is just one example of the number of activities Lucas Mill engages in to ensure that our representatives around the world are well trained and informed, and able to deliver the best standard of customer service possible.

Lucas Mill has launched a new group on the popular social utility - Facebook. This will enable Lucas Mill owners to connect with other like mined opperators around the world.

MY LUCAS MILL is a feature of our website designed specifically for Lucas Mill Owners. Including forums and information pages, this is a great tool for connecting with other Lucas MIll opperators from around the world and sharing your stories, tips and projects.

This August, September and October, Lucas Mill will be participating in a number of events throughout the eastern states of the USA.

Our representative, Peter Foster will head off from Jackson, TN on 6000 mile trip through 15 states over the 3 month period, with the assistance of our distributor Bailey's.

As a special offer to Australian customers, Lucas Mill is offering to pay the freight for sawmills pre-purchased for a Field Day held within Australia this year.
