I don't know if I'd call it race chain, but here's some GTG chain I made.

And some basic round filed.

The ones without the beak were work chains I think. It seems to cut faster with the side beak.Nice pics John! I see you're putting a slight top beak on some chains, not on others. Some say that it's faster in soft wood where It can survive. What do you think?
Some of you so called race chain makers cannot even graduate from the work chain class.
Please explain

Speaking of bees. I was throwing rocks at a bald faced hornets nest while boss man was pushing a new landing last summer. Maybe 25 yds away. So i hit the stick that the nest was hanging off a few times and got them all revved up, a few minutes later i chucked a rock and one of those bastards came right at me, following the trajectory of the rock i guess. I saw him coming @ about 15 yds but he was coming too fast. Got me right in my nose. I looked like some sort of baboon man for the next hour or so..
Learned a lesson, just cause you are not close to the bees dosent mean they cant still hone in on you!
John, it does not take a lot of reading of the kids posts to pick out who the cull is... LOL

If one throws rocks at a hornets nest they should expect to get stung.

Low gullets and yes directing the chip in upward (were upside down now) direction to keep the cutter clear.I keep hearing references to 'chip clearance'. What would be a symptom of inadequate chip clearance?
I've assumed that a chain filling up with chips would not allow the cutters to do their job, so would a symptom be an increase in chain speed without a increase in cutting speed?
Is there more to the chip clearance issue, perhaps directing the chips away from the cutters?
Yes the chain loads up.OK, so is there a symptom during the cutting that would give an indication of poor chip clearance?

your saw porter makes a few chains, maybe you'll post a few pics of his.
