An Afternoon With: Jerry Tyson | How he built a log cabin and became Johnny Appleseed

Meet Jerry. He's a Chimney Sweep from Lisbon, Ohio who has found himself with an extra special alter ego.

A few years ago, while in the middle of restoring his 1800's log cabin that he inherited from a long-term customer of his, Jerry was asked by the city of Lisbon if he would be their next Johnny Appleseed. At first he was hesitant, but after some thought and insight from higher powers, Jerry decided to take on the lifetime role. Let us be the first to say, that was the right decision!

After completing his cabin restoration using his HM130MAX, Jerry now uses his mill for other projects such as his life-size Nutcrackers, or his custom built cabin for Johnny Appleseed. And let's not forget his "larger than life" statue of his very own creation, Johnny Apple-crate.

Thank you so much Jerry for the visit and sharing your story with us, it was an amazing day!
