Ran levi's little Deere saw tonight about 15 minutes... That thing is just mad at the world... Too bad it ain't got enough lead on it's ass to do anything about it!!!

 

[plumbcrazyjr]

just spent two hours with stumpy talking bout saws and other wonderful things it is nice to have someone who is so close who is willing to help when stuff agrivates me to the point of burning it.
that 088 he built is a good running monster

Here at the site, looking for some rebar to drive in my logs.

What's this about racing? Do we want an official format?

I got a caterer for Sat. Lunch. Bar B Cue.

What about our demostrations? We have a tree to climb, need a non-chicken climber.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Every thing sounds good but leave out the rebar.:msp_thumbup::msp_thumbup:

We don't need offical format wood, its just bragging rights and a doller.

Bar B Cue sounds great.

That kind of loafing usually costs me at least a hundred bucks...:hmm3grin2orange: Picked up one of those cheap chain grinders and used it last night...:msp_thumbdn: Anyone else use one? If so, how do they figure it's any faster than a file?

i was wonderin bout how "fast" those grinders are. usually hand file until they get too beat up, then use my file-n-joint to git em back close to where they orta be. not sayin they're super sharp (cause they're not) but they're sharp enough. aint sayin i'll never get a bench grinder either cause i've also always hand split with a 10# maul until my neighbor showed up with a 22T husky. now i think i want one a them there hydraulic splitters. not as fun but faster.

I don't think any grinder is faster than a file and I believe I can get a chain sharper with a file.

Just say no to the grinder..:msp_smile:

I bought a carlton grinder from my local dealer. only time i use it is when i really want to re shape a chian profile or have several chains off the saw. I like my filed chains the best. I'm really working on my square filing almost there. I think.

i wouldn't mind being schooled on the different types of filing shapes at the gtg

I'm no expert, but I have a couple different kinds of files and chains we can play with.

I'll bring mine as well and Dan has one too.

Yeah... I can too... But....:msp_rolleyes: I'm thinking this thing has to have a good use... It does do a good job shaping and sizing the teeth. I calipered each one when I was done and they only ranged from .267 to .271...
Not sure how that compares to a new Stihl chain, but will find out when I get a new loop. Oh, and your 346 is in sooooooo much trouble.... :hmm3grin2orange:

We should be able to chuck up most of the broke down saws. :hmm3grin2orange:
