Btw. Stig: That stuff sure does not seem to be more durable (semi chisel). I absolutely hate that stuff.

Dead Oak and Loc. Now that's some rock hard wood. We're all ears Magnus. Uh.... Sorry.... Just read the thread. :lol::|:

Now don't go showing off Rajan.

No Magnus, I meant semi-chisel. I think I avoid the term because people here always think I mean semi-skip. People have always told me that it was more durable, but I thought that the difference was negligible. I would only trust timber-cutters like Stig, who have had hundreds of feet of feet...

Probably the most informative post I've read in two years. Thanks. Oh yeah, Chris... I meant semi. 3/4??? :|:

Oh, I meant 3/4 chisel, Magnus. You doubtless have tons of it, but call it by a different name. Uhhh... How DO you explain it? O.k... there is an obvious curve between the top and side plates, instead of the hard 90 which we refer to as, "Full Chisel." I was taught that 3/4 was more...

Yeah, there's a hilarious video of that on an old U.S. Loggers TV show. Also showed a couple old growth pigs coming over. Real talented Washington fallers on that cut. Apparently, there wasn't a dendrologist in the world who knew Firpigs could live that long until they fell those trees. One...

Man, that's super weird. I hadn't watched that (the BC stuff) in over a year, and--come to find out--you and I were watching the same thing, at pretty much the same time. Those guys are incredibly good at nailing it on the diagonal far corner. Wish I were. Oh, and I'm in the dirt way more...

Yup... Same here Mick. Cutter height, Glenn? Are you talking about the height differences due to corresponding chisel lengths?

That was a really cool post Stig. Actually, it perfectly embodies an overarching philosophical (don't laugh) question I had when I started this thread. The question of why a person would tilt a file upward ten degrees interests me. What interest me even more is WHY I can't get certain...

Now, now Chris... No horsing around!! We're all business around here! We HAVE TO BE! An improperly filed saw is just too big of a tragedy. We simply don't have any room for humor or derails! Was Jesus really black?

Ahhh... But you're just trying to have me do my best with my given personality deficiencies. However, in this case, you're not going to have to worry Magnus: I know that people will value my casual talk on vid. about as much as they value it on the treehouse. It stands to reason that if...

I was just thinking about trying to post my simplified square filing method. Do you know how to post vid. Willard?

That makes sense. I'm going to have to try your vertical method next time I round file. Of course, everything takes practice. I just can't bring myself, (right now) to round file, because I've had such a good run (straight cutting) with my triangle.

This stuff about the "burr," is really helpful for me. I always get about a million little micro-slices on my left thumb, because after I file a chisel, I wipe the top of it off with my thumb in order to see if I have a really clean chrome edge or not. When round filing, I tend to cut the top...

Rajan: It's no use... They'd never decide on the kind of beer.

Ahhhhhh... MAN! I want a grinder!

Green with envy. I'm having a hart time making the jump. Not just financially... it's like I've got that "Tree-guy Set in His Ways," thing ya know? A hilarious admission after boasting to Magnus about how I'm never happy, and love trying new stuff. :lol: Truth is: as an arb. I can't quite...

Yup, my later double-enders are all Viallas. The Portuguese double-bevels and triangles are just maddening because the "little sides" (the sides that do the side plates) can go from narrow, to slightly wider as the file stroke moves down the chisel. In this manner the file is actually wedging...

I got rooked by Vialla (not Valhalla Magnus. :lol:) which are made in Portugal, for the last time. The file blanks aren't even straight. I'm having super good luck with the Stihl Swiss made triangles. Super expensive, but worth it. I wanna say that the only double-bevel or double ender...
