What'ca testing?

I think I might have one of those file guides in a box somewhere that someone left at a worksite. I have always hand sharpened. Back when I had my business I bought a grinder and would have my main groundie sharpen beat chains on rain days. In retirement it’s just gathering dust… I ought to sell it!

It’s been busy - but with two snow days it was nice to be home and busy yesterday 🤣. Refinished our breakfast table, finished rebuilding carbs on snowblower and generator, and a flat tire on the snowblower. Neighbor saw me out front of the garage working on both and thanked me - saying “You know...

I use this one or the like. A bunch of them actually, because the holder is specific for the file's size, which is specific to the chain's size. The main factor is the % of the file's diameter kept over the cutting edge, so the main cutting angle is set automatically, no need to adjust...

All material went downhill. A brush pile and the wood shed.

File size is chain dependant for sizing.

Pictures always help

Just wondering is the basic file guides are universal or are they size specific? Just got one and it’s says 3/16 on it. Might be a dumb question but hey don’t know unless you ask. Btw I’m talking about the metal ones that you put a file in and tighten it down.

Howly smowkes

Yesterday I took the ole 340,000mi dually dodge and towed the 9,000lb F350 flatbed over the mountains for repair. Picked up a 1500lb hay grinder (mulcher) rotor. Dropped off the Ford. Went up to the higher mountains, spent the night, and cut and loaded a few thousand lbs of beetle kill oaks on...

I had something similar happen. It was/is a dead silver maple that we set up on and found the tree needed a crane, way too rotten to rig anything and over the garage, two fences, and formal garden so cut and chuck was out. Bailed out, new price, new estimate, she didn’t get back to me and six...

Or it gets the chainsaw again

It puts the wood in the basket.

Good, dry day. One set of customer: 2 apples pruned, Ben and I levered a small peach out at the roots. Other customers: fell the hard leaning maple that the husband started beavering, who the wife convinced to wait., leaning cherry on a heavily sweeping butt, flop a maple without...

The other half of this madrona smashed off by a falling snag. There is a primary power line over the building running parellel to the ridge. I had an 80-90' TIP in an adjacent-ish fir. Leaned more than it was tall.

i can see where a rigid grapple might be useful but maybe could get me into trouble also? will a klou type grapple roll the machine over faster?
