"But I've been hand filing my own chains for thirty years"
Boy you must have very rough hands LOL. Seriously you did a great job on that chain. I can't do that well so I use a sharpener. JR

a couple of the girls ready for a bit of work:
out at the 15 minute job:sarcastic:
should have had the 36" bars on them.:smirk:
i just noticed the solo wearing the sandvik bar and the mac wearing the mac bar, these were taken a day after we were at that elm, right before the camera went dead.

Gotta love the nails. This fall I was doing stump reductions on a gentleman's farm, third to last stump and my chain slowed a bit. Decided to push through the rest, and found little grey spots everywhere in the tree. Couldn't for the life of me figure out what they were, had to be hundreds of them. As I'm staring at em the farmer walks over to see what I'm doing. Guy starts laughing and says "Hell I've been hangin targets on that tree for fifteen years" "Might be thousands of rounds in there"
Thanks for the warning LOL
Posted these pics in the poulan thread already but here you go.

Mitch I think your right about it being warmer, LOL. Let me know more about the meet with Mark. That would be a good time. I hope that you will indulge my lack of knowledge compared to the two of you. JR

Oh man do I love that place. Spent several wonderful weeks driving around the ring roads and trying the local brews with an author friend. Some of the roads were so narrow that we had to fold in the mirrors on our rented Toyota Previa van. Felt like a giant there. JR

Should have brought a "Limbing" saw with me .

Cool picture Dan.
Wood like that isn't the worst to limb, as I'm sure you agree with me on. I prefer limbing with my "big" saw over smaller, more nimble saws at this point, and I don't think I'm alone in that.
Here's a pic of my workbench in the workshop at work from friday. (yes, the word work 3 times in one sentence!)
Freshly painted axe, self-made scabbard and everything. Rednecking it at the end of the week.

Work tote
I tote my stuff on a modified safety harness .
The axe is an Ilits Ox-Head (FORESTRY MALL - Forestry Cruising - Mining Field Equipment and Supplies) that I got for 10.00$$ at a second hand store and re handled it , I made the axe scabbard and the tape holder .The harness is new to me this winter , it was out of date so the price was 0.00$$ . I'll be making a few more holders and pockets for it later .

A couple from my 3mp Fuji S5000. Bought it used, with a case and a couple filters, for $100 to my door.

I like the muffler-mod on that 084. Looks sweet!
That old 3mp Fuji S5000 sure seems to pull in some real nice pics !
