Title: problems here at Dryad. . . UPDATE
Post by: wingnut on December 17, 2010, 01:28:00 PM
This morning I was grinding lams for next weeks orders and the motor in the big sander lost a capacitor (I hope) and it's now in the shop.  So if your waiting on limbs do before the end of the year, there is a good chance they will be a little late.  Will know the prognosis on the motor on Monday.

We will be sanding and finishing this weekend though.

Sorry to hear that Mike... Hopefully it would be that much to fix it...

Oh, no! I'm in that category    :(  

I hope the motor is back on its feet soon (so to speak). Not that I HAVE to have my limbs by the end of the year, but I've been kind of eagerly anticipating their arrival.

As Forrest Gump would say, "..it happens...sometimes."

Thanks for keeping us posted, Mike. Waiting is a lot easier when you understand why.

Looks like it's back to sandpaper and a wood block for a few days...huh?  I hope you get her fixed soon, Mike.

TTT for those that haven't seen this.  Going to be a week before our new motor gets here.

Bummer      :banghead:    :(  

  :coffee:  

I'll put on another pot and keep waiting.

Enjoy Christmas with the family Mike and Jason.

Maybe you can take an extra day or so with the little tyke in your avatar this way, Grandpa. It must be God's way of reminding us what's important.

Good timing, I guess!    :)  

Thanks for the update and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well we talked with the motor guys yesterday and got good news.  Our replacement may be in today and if not Monday for sure.  We should be back up and running on Tuesday.  If it comes in today and I can get some help installing the sucker, I'll be grinding lams all weekend too catch up.

Mike - Don't spend your Christmas working.  That's family time, and isn't this your grandchild's first Christmas?  I'm sure your customers will understand.

Well it didn't make it today.  So I guess I'll take the weekend off.
