First off. I not an expert at anything and that is why I love this forum. So much to learn from great people.
In the 1980s I used to do a program on chain saw maintenance at a forest ranger boot camp for new trainees. Nothing special but they enjoyed it.
in the future I would like to have people come in to learn about hand sharpening chain and I will be using your chain vises. There is a gentleman at a nearby hardwood lumber CO. I hope to get to put on the school.
Thank you very much for explaining that that is really cool. There are a lot of people that own saws but do not have a clue how a chain works or even how to sharpen it. When I went to my first get together I had never filed the chain and I watched over the shoulders of the guys and I thought to myself this looks like something I need to learn.
When I started cutting wood on my own three years ago dad handed me down an old granberg grind n joint that was so wore out it was amazing that it even ran. My first file was the top plate style file guide on semi chisel chain on my super XL. I had nice big chips coming out of my first cut I thought to myself man that's the way to go.
I think that is really cool that you have desire to teach that. Kudos man keep up the good work!!
