the all aussie dribble thread!

Tricky use of camera angles there Neil. We all know that log is only 18" across.

Bet me to it Matt.

Short focal length lens, macro setting, and you can make any twig look big without a frame of reference.

 

[tdi-rick]

Oh sh#t Matt, your just to good to fool, my bad for impersonating a real timberman.
Perhaps Bob fell them demonstrating Mac's latest toys for his many protensial buyers from the professional scene.

It gladdens this old heart to see Stubbies still worn.

Uniform of a generation that saw out mullets, chains and open necked shirts halfway to the navel revealing fur pelts a trapper would chase, yet the Stubbies survived.



Loving the photos Neil, keep 'em coming.

I'm sorry big guy if, you don't like it and of coarse you never waive your own flag do you.

But these photos show a little of what we did which is stopped now days. (old growth logging was stopped by the government)


Here is a little of your flag waiveing,,,, I must apologise to you as you are an international race competitor with some success (according to you), this would put you above all us mere aussie race boys.
Oh boy even back in 2007 the results were the same, this is an interesting read. Had Mac muncher (Richard smith) ever seen you with a saw before you started this thread ?

Peter i see blueing on the cutters closest to the camera the chain has been overheated during sharpening you need to resharpen going a little slower with the grinder or use a new file.

Maybe the chains all need doing correctly with a new sharp file some of the stihl chains start as a hard cutter to sharpen but once the filing has progressed a little the file wont have a tendancity to skate throu .

Keep a good constant pressure during the filing stroke

The chrome on the cutter hasc a tendancity to roll down with wear and tear you need to keep filing till all that has been filed off and a clean crisp edge is restored

Sorry Dave but you are. There, said it...

My inlaw has one of those bench grinding disks, like the TIMBERLAND one and when I seen what he done, I wasn't happy,
Ive only got the file so should I up the file to the next size and do you think I should take the chains to the shop and get sharpened properly
Regards Peter

Well it would be a lot cheaper doing it yourself and think of the experiance you will gain take it easy and you'll pick it up i do all my chains by hand just checking for a final correctness with a file guide

 

[peter92]

So where the file is cutting on the cutter that's fine but when I go to the next tooth, where I think the file isn't toughing the tooth, it is touching but the cutter is that hard the file isn't working
Is this my understanding
By the way , thanks for helping
Regards Peter

Well Peter the norm is you find the worst looking cutter sharpen it first then sharpen the rest back to match yes sometimes you will strike hard teeth on stihl chain but hey thats how it comes .................. Personnelly i dont use stihl chain for that very reason

A bit more info the chrome on saw chain is only a very thin layer over a steel tooth i think who ever makes stihl chain be it stihl or whoever need to rethink their chroming procedure as it hardens the tooth to too great a depth making it extremely hard to file

 

[peter92]

I can see this is going to be a real thirsty job
But like you said, take my time and they will be fine
Ive got my last file from the stihl shop, any really good brand file you can recommend
Regards Peter

I find their files fine and use them here as the stihl shop is closest they give really good life hand filing

 

[MCW]

The chrome is electroplated on the tooth and has no heating or hardening effect on the metal itself.
The only time I've struck hard teeth is on some Chinese chain with inconsistent metalurgy or where teeth have been overheated by a grinder or no chain lube.
I've never found Stihl chain any harder to file than others.

 

[Bigfella]

Facts facts facts your the least of my worries young fella, fact is who cares, another fact why worry about little old me as your the only one oops forgot you shotgun Dean who reacts so hastlily you have both knee jeak reactions as soon as i say anything let alone rocket off like loose cannons anytime some-one mentions something you think you might know so get a life Neil .... telegraph pt is just a speck on the map like Weston.

I had no intension of going to the states with you, I had a business to run, machinery to pay for, family to feed and a mortgage.
If I went state side it would be with my family and I would not be advertiseing to the world I was going to beat any one. Only a complete F#ckwitt would do that.You did and kept it going right up until the point where you had to put up or shut up then just slipped away and nothing, just like all the other threads you do.
I am not stupid enough to big note myself and throw sh#t at the men state side, even with my race experience, which is a bloody lot more than you.
Thank god most of the yanks see through you, i'd hate to think they believe we are all like you.
