To Whom It May Concern:
I have always liked woodworking however the price of lumber is a real
setback to some craftsman.
This is why I took a chance and bought
an OSCAR 18 this sawmill is perfect for the avid woodworker. I
have enclosed a picture of the first project I built with my OSCAR 18.
This is a sold cherry heirloom bookcase that I constructed from a log I
had cut two years ago and never had the heart to cut it up for firewood
so when I bought my OSCAR I was thrilled to find how much lumber was in
this one log. This bookcase is constructed of solid 3/4 cherry the only
plywood used was for the backer other than that
its solid cherry I even carved the Cabriole
legs. I also do a lot of Intarsia I have
enclosed a few pictures of my work. I find that
now I have my OSCAR 18 I can saw the lumber to
the thickness I need which saves a lot of my
plainer and also on wood waste. I really
recommend to anyone who crafts with wood and is
fortunate enough to by an OSCAR to do so I
am totally amazed with mine.

Dear Hud-Son - Using trees from my yard I built these projects
using my Farm Boss. First is a post and beam style open air firewood
shed made entirely out of eastern white pine with cedar shingles, it
holds one cord of wood, the second is a wishing well that came from a
dead standing cedar salvaged from my backyard. It is 100% cedar. |

I bought your OSCAR 18 from Steve
White in Dalton, NH. It is a great machine and I have been doing a lot
of board cutting for the floor of my home which is under construction. Do you have any
information other than the mimeo'd sheets relative to the machine, how
it works, proper settings, saw blade settings, etc? Thanks.
Got a video??
Yes We Do!! |

Hud-Son - Here is a photo that was taken about a week ago. Been keeping
pretty busy until the temp went down to -20 and it got a bit cold to be out
playing .... I will be taking the sawmill out to a remote property that I own on
lake frontage to build a cabin. Most of the lumber I have
cut here will be used to build a smaller cabin first.
Thanks,
Mark DeLoach |

My Oscar 36 was
delivered on 14 January, 2006 @ 1605
hours ... about five minutes late. I can
accept the delay, because of the
inclement weather, and because Tom is
probably related to you, by blood or
marriage ... after all, Hud-Son is a
family affair. Besides that, a drop in
temperature was the reason. I did not
assemble the mill until Monday, 16
January 2006, when the morning
temperature was 5 F. Even under those
conditions, the Oscar 36 went together
rather easily, taking a total of about
four hours. After lunch, I double
checked all the fluids, dimensions, etc,
then rolled on the most bony pine log I
could find. The 16 HP Vanguard fired
right up; the blade lube dripped just
fine; so I set the log dogs and ran the
carriage down the ways .... I was
impressed! Contrary to the
congratulations given on the cover of
the service manual provided with my
Oscar 36, I am not wise... only
practical, and I have found that your
band saw mill is the best on the
market for that price .I know, because
I've done my homework and have seen a
lot of mills in the last 30 years,
including the 52" Lane with a D-6 Cat
engine that sawed out my log cabin
in 1973. The Oscar 36 I bought from you
is the most accurate and efficient mill
I have seen, and I will proudly use it
to cut quality lumber. Your grandfather
must be proud ...
Sincerely yours, John Stockman

Hello
Folks! I purchased an Oscar 30 from Johnson in Ogdensburg, WI yesterday.
It took about an hour to set up and we were off and sawing. What a
fantastic little machine! The Johnsons were great to work with on this
purchase. Want to let you know you have a great product (I'm
quite sure you knew this already) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Thanks A Million! Ryan R. Delaney, Waupaca, WI |

Sirs - I purchased an Oscar 18 last year and to say I like ii
is an understatement! I never even saw one before, but after a little
while figured it out.
Thanks again! Chuck Holland,

To Hud-Son Forest Equipment Co. - I purchased your Oscar 18'
sawmill on August 1 and I need to tell you how pleased I am with this
saw, your product is top line and what a good price also. I purchased the saw from Thick and Thin
Lumber in Sabattus, Maine and the staff was #1. I was pleased with the
knowledge of owning and operating the sawmill that they showed me, the
customer service was great! I'll let the word out about your fine
sawmill and the service I received. Thanks for
an affordable and well constructed sawmill! Paul Muszynski,
Harrison, Maine |

To Hud-Son Forest Equipment Co. - I
recently bought an 18 from dealer Steve White in NH. I thought you might
want to know that Steve was great to deal with and I am very happy with
my Oscar 18. Anyway I have been sawing away like mad making
lumber for a porch addition on my house and lumber for an addition on my
camp.
The Oscar is a great little machine and well thought out and
constructed. Thanks for making it!

I have had my Oscar 30 for about 18
months now. I use it to saw native Texas Mesquite and other Texas woods.
I use the Oscar 30 only five or six times per month. It is used outside
and is only covered with a tarp, it starts and cuts true every time.
This reliability means a lot to me.

Just
wanted to send you a
note to say how much I'm
enjoying my new mill. So far
it has done everything I
expected and is even easier
than I had imagined to
operate. I am still cleaning
up storm damaged timber from
hurricane Ivan which did
heavy damage to my timber
land in south central
Alabama. I can't tell you
how much it means to me to
be able to salvage this down
timber and make really good
looking lumber out of
it. Thanks for making a
product that lives up to
it's advertising. My Oscar
28 is big where it needs
to be and still portable
enough to move around with
ease.

Dear Mike - After speaking to you the other day we
figured we'd get some pictures off to you, sent with a BIG howdy from
Texas. Our HUD-SON Oscar 18" saw mill is making our dream home come
true. It's the only piece of equipment we've bought that has paid for
itself in the first six months of owning it. Our home which will
be about 2,800 ft and all wood is depending on your product and so far
no problem. We're hoping by late fall of this year to be into our home
along with our teenage son who will be upstairs in his own room w/bath.
Our neighbor, after seeing the cedar, oak, pine and elm we cut went and
bought one from your company too. Bobby quit his job and is now swamped
with orders to cut wood for other people and he's making more money now,
he also is making his own house. People mention how they like the
look of our home and they loved the smell, all natural wood.

Dear Hud-Son Forest Equipment,
Last year I purchased an Oscar 30 from Jack Putman last summer. We
had a wind storm a few weeks ago that knocked the barn down
on the mill. The whole barn was on it, beams, roof you
name it, it was on the mill. I uncovered the mill & nothing was wrong
with it. I did my homework before I bought the mill and had figured if
it was any other brand of mill there would be nothing left of it. I am
very pleased with the way my Hud-Son mill is made and the way it held up
to the weight of an entire barn. Thanks for an affordable, quality made
product.

Dear

Thank you for your help in ordering a new winch for "Little Oscar"
My husband loves his sawmill. Anytime he disappears I know where to look
for him1 I call Little Oscar "The Mistress". I tell anyone who will
listen Little Oscar will save you time, save you money, save your sanity
and save your marriage! Thank you again for your quick, professional
help.
Respectfully , Patricia Holcomb |
