Pearls To Swine

I've been told it's a Biblical referance form Sermon on the Mount:

"Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces." -Matt.

Not being religous it went over my head, I guess the pearl was his knowledge and he was calling us swine and saying we were tearing him to pieces.
I feel so dirty and guilty, now I know why I don't do religon.

but I doubt whether avoiding them in the manner described in this thread even comes close to an overall equality of effort.

When you say "I doubt", does that mean you're not sure because you haven't tried it yet? To me, if I've tried it there is no doubt about it... I know it either is or it ain't....

And I did a little homework on your request to make file sizes smaller... In microsoft photo editor click on propertiesd and change to 72 pixels/inch... then go to resize and make the file smaller. I've got em down around 75 - 80... that should work......

I said "I doubt" because in some cases it's a bit difficult to cut upward on the lower cut of an open-face notch (say 30" of white oak).  I know that for a fact.  I have never tried cutting a mostly-rip cut downward at 30° in 30" of white oak, but have done similar on a much smaller stick and can authoritatively say it ain't no picnic at all.

5" of 40° up (45% rip) or 9" of 30° down (67% rip); I know what I'm going to do.

Thanks for finding the image solution.  Perhaps in days to come everyone will have broadband capability (and server disk space and bandwidth will be cheaper yet) and it won't matter so much.

Try doing that on a 3-5 foot fir butt, glens. Once you've done a bunch, it gets a bit easier....but wielding a 42 inch bar is "un peu difficile"! 80% of my butt cuts are Humboldts, ALAP. Often, I'll slope the top cut a bit too to make life easier, as long as it wont lose much wood. Local log buyers all want smooth flat end cuts.

Hey Roger, I was going to look up the thread in "chainsaw" and mention it there, but as long as we're both here...

I removed virtually all of the basket in my 066 (Magnum front-covered) muffler this afternoon.  I haven't had a chance to properly test it for performance change.  It's quite obviously more obnoxious in terms of sonic output now.  I have every reason to believe the saw will at least run a little cooler this way, even if nothing else was gained beyond decibel levels.
