Matt That looks good I hope its not so cool we have to use the shop for more than coffe break with Steve and Jim.:wink2::wink2:

 

[Locust Cutter]

Well, so much for the beautiful weather Friday... Not a problem though with some Hedge and Silver Maple scraps in the stove burning nicely! Now to clean pistols and get ready to sand a couple floors.

 

[Hedgerow]

Me too I'm slow and not very accurate carpenter, but that looks like the perfect place to hang out Matt.

It's a job I been needing to do for a while now...
That spot just to the left of the stove is yours...
Just to the right is Dan's...
You guys will have to adjust the temp yourselves...

Jim you woke up on the wrong side of the bed thowing the word Lawyers around like that.

Just invited Forrest to join A.S. Oh and I will take him up on running some of the saws he has.

 

[thinkrtinker]

Great job on closing in the walls and the stove. A shop just does not feel right on a cool day without a place to toast the rear:msp_biggrin:

It looks like a thunder storm again been getting some nice rain . Got a nice 30" walnut yesterday ,so i laid back watched the race today . Saw o its fast, started to shine it up but decided it was to ugly to shine .

OK, I had an idea! I know that is hard to believe, but here goes.

I was reading a thread a while back that ol Tom Hall was thinking is isn't feasible to hand sharpen a chain as it isn't any faster than a ground chain.
He didn't think a hand filed would be any faster than a Stihl chain out of the box. I was wondering if someone can bring a saw with a 20 brand new Stihl chain. RS or RSC or what ever it is that is comparable to oregon LGX. We can do a couple of cuts and time it and then I will file it with a roller guide and see what happens. I don't use Stihl chain and just figured someone coming does. You can even film and time me if you want.:msp_confused:

 

[moody]

From my experience my hand filed chains are faster than ground chains. But I've never had a silvey around either. Id be game for a test. What saw and bar combo I'll round file one to test for it. I've got a 362 with a 20 in b&c if you'd be in that ball park I'd have a chain ready.

It just hailed so much for about an hour east of Lebanon, that I have hearing damage, (ringing) it was ALMOST as loud as the ......... never mind..


Carry on.

I'm just looking for someone to bring a saw of any brand with a 20' bar and a new Stihl RSK chain just out of the box. I have a file guide and files.

I agree that a hand filed chain is faster. Thall says he has never seen anyone do it and I just run oregon LGX. Maybe I'll be wrong. To me- a sharp chain is one that you can let go of the front handle and the saw will continue to eat its way through the wood with out any down pressure. If I have to push it down it is dull. Maybe I'll be converted to Stihl chain.
