Good wet morning fellas!

Mornin'! I'll be using your Gen 2 vise this evening (hopefully) to get some square ground ready for the weekend. I still haven't got the hang of hand-filing with a double bevel file but I'm getting better a little at a time. That vise makes it soooo much easier to work the chain.

Good morning everybody. Have a great day today.

Hedge gave me a beginning lesson on square filing at the GTG in Iowa. I ordered a dozen double bevel files from Tree Stuff. By buying them 12 at a time, with Fedex ground shipping added, they will be $9 each. I am too frugal (cheap) to spend more for shipping than I have to.

Having said this, I am impatient & don't want to wait for them. If anyone has a spare they can bring to the Nixa Charity Cut this weekend, I would be happy to buy one. I understand it will be more than the ones I ordered.

It's morning! 50°F as I passed through Clinton this am.

It's going to be another month with lots of opportunities:
- May 3rd, Charity Cut at Nixa.
- May 10th, AWOL & family have issued an open invitation to the "Ozarks Older Iron Club's":

Note: there will be chainsaw racing! (I don't know what time it will take place.)

- May 17th, Waukee, IA Charity Cut sponsored by the Sam-tips.

If I remember correctly they told me there will be races on Saturday. If I can swing it I might show up and do a couple carvings.

The racing will be on Saturday, early in the afternoon. Everyone is welcome, specially if you bring saws! There will be no entry fees for the cant races.

 

[awol]

Chad, if you show up to do some carving, we will give you the place of honor----- right in front of the bleachers!

Morning southern folks. It's snowing up here again. It is too wet to get out to the woods, this is making me nuts.

Hang in there buddy! It won't be long till you'll have to be running around in your fruit of the looms trying to stay cool and you'll be praying for some relief! lol! Looks like we're just gonna skip over spring this year.

Did someone say chainsaw racing???

 

[Oliver1655]

I think I did!

But I am willing to repeat myself;

CHAINSAW RACING --->> NO Entry Fee!!! --->> Saturday, May 10th in the afternoon at Cabool, MO!
​

If you have never tried chainsaw racing, this will be a great opportunity to give it a try!

We were going too but at 10:30pm we decided to pack up and head north. Glad we did.

 

[Oliver1655]

I was planning to stay Saturday night, but also left early around 7:30pm to miss the weather. Fortunately only hit a couple of spots of light showers.

Going fishing for the race trailers tonight!

As you get more used to it - you will start asking yourself why you bother with round files. It's a bad thing. It's like a special form of addiction inside the CAD addiction. Be warned!!
