A Bit of Restructuring
I've finally freshened up (who knew a website could get cobwebs?) and one major change is now the services portion is run by myself as Jay Clarke Portable Sawmill. My brother James continues to run The J Team and we still frequently work together so we're happy to forward you to the relevant brother. But this restructuring especially allows me more freedom around how I spend time with my daughter. She's already 2 and she loves watching the mills run or big trucks driving by.
