Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[MustangMike]

Yea, I hate to say it, but I would not eat that crap if you gave it to me!

Would you like some arsenic with that … it's all natural!

First attempt with the double bevel. It's not perfect but it cut real good. Think it could use a little off the rakers and it will do better. Surprised how smooth it is.

It's what I had laying around. I just wanted to see if the chain would cut. It's the chain @dancan thought I should toss on the scrap pile a few pages ago just square now.

Stripped wallpaper yesterday and 5 layers down or so came across this lace. It was only left on a plastered over chimney and small nook between a sealed off door way and the chimney. Appearently 2 door ways were plastered over when the chimney was put in. Victorians sure liked their fineries.

Thank you sir. By the end of that chain I was down to 5 or 6 swipes to get it converted enough to go to the next tooth.

Never stop learning. Most likely won't go all square. But it will be fun to play with.

Looks good James, and it's cutting well. Might not hold an edge real long though if my eyes are seeing the angle correctly.
That old Carlton chain is some good stuff, here'a a round one in semi skip. I know skip won't cut fast though lol.

Muffler modded 2166 on it's first tank for comparison, both are in hard ash, of course the 2171 is ported.

Not really(but I'm not against PPE either), kind of an ongoing joke we have about his signature and running huskys at gtg, gotta have a hoodie on lol.
Here's my impersonation of Steve wearing his hoodie running a jred .

Good to wear your PPE.

Theres a big cherry in that mess. Should make better test wood along with a ton of fire wood.

If it's just play chain then go for it, but I'm not fond of filing in the woods with round let alone square. In the basement I like to file, but my elbows say stop it , everything in moderation.

I've always filed with the chain on the saw guess I'll have to figure it out. I'd like to have one of the homelite410 vices some day.
