30 years ago, I was the project manager on a air liquefaction plant we built in Kittery. Its the plant with the giant lobster on the tank on I 95.
Seen the place from the highway many times never had a clue what went on there ,is it a liquid nitrogen plant ?
Yup, thats it. When we put the lobster on the tank the painters only put six legs on it. Needless to say they take lobsters seriously there. Got hate calls for weeks on end, till I got the painters to put two more legs on it.

I think they did… kittery had a no sign policy at the time. They wouldn’t let us put the company name on the tanks. Well, unless we put a lobster on it. So that’s the story 
Back in the day when I Iobstered we just called them bugs,Should have kept at it they are getting 10 bux a pound now
I miss the pisser clams. Thats what they called them. Steamers I think?
We did another job once at a paper mill in Skowhegan, Me. Definitely don’t miss that place. We drove up the airway Rt 9, I think? To Eastport to say we went a far east as we could go…
The towns were labeled R3C6, R3C7 Definitely wilderness.
Where’s that? We’re buying them for 6.99 a pound!
Central Maine Hardshell today is 10.99

This forum is definitely a great tool and source of information! At this point i haven’t got the table yet and I’m just trying to prepare myself for any issues that others have had and or tips on things that can be improved, and the process of setting up and getting started etc .

you can read all you want but the best way is to get in there and try to cut something… if you get in and get one thing to work every day you sill get there before you know it…agn, anything I can do to help you let me know…I’m not an expert (many are on the forum) but we do have a table cutting after a good deal of frustration and a 1 year “Covid” pause…good luck and happy cutting
