Most be a fine town in which to live.

Charlie Chan?!Indeed it is.
We had between 150 and 200 people come through last night during the festivities, ran out of cups for hot cider and hot chocolate at 150 and had to send #1 son to the convenience store to get more.
Today a pile of chains to be sharpened has magically appeared in the shop, they did leave a phone number...

I was thinking the Gorge Foreman method, as in this isCharlie Chan?!
I love small town America(na)! Though even that's too big of a town for me - glad I get to live a few miles outside of a town like that, thoughI didn't get any photos last night with everything going on so I took one tonight. We have an interesting tradition here in Dike, Iowa with a large Christmas tree right in the middle of the intersection of Main Street and State Street, my building is on the southwest corner of the intersection.

For a month or so we have a sort of roundabout in town.

You literally just copied it directly and put your Logo on it and it’s not even as good as the original one? This is on par with what China does.Here is one of my latest additions, follows the design of the Carlton File-O-Plate for 3/8 chisel chain. They are not quite as hard as the originals, but I think they will be useful.

You absolutely are infringing on intellectual property. You shouldn’t need to be told that just because a patent has expired, it’s ok to steal it as your own and make money off it. Replicating the exact design in every way but making a lesser product and selling it as your own. Give me one example on how this is any different to what China is doing.The patent was applied for in 1965, issued in 1968, expired in 1985, Carlton stopped making them altogether over 20 years ago.
1965-10-01 Application filed by CARLTON Co
1965-10-01 Priority to US49194565
1968-01-30 Application granted
1968-01-30 Publication of US3365805A
1985-01-30 Anticipated expiration
Status Expired - Lifetime
I don't think I am infringing on any intellectual property at this point. Some of us like to use the File-O-Plate when the chain allows it, and this was the only way I could come up with to make it happen.

You should probably take a step back and consider the fine human being you’re speaking to. Mark was rebuilding and restoring American muscle before you were in diapers. He had these made because it was a good product and it’s not available any longer. He’s not the kind of guy to repop something like this with the intentions of making a living on itYou absolutely are infringing on intellectual property.

This is the problem now days, everyone copies a good product sells it as their own and makes money on it, I have had this countless times in my business and it’s BS.
Make your own design and sell it, don’t steal someone else’s and put your brand on it. Especially when it’s not as good.

I’m sure Mark is a great guy. However clearly we have different opinions on this and it’s certainly not something I will change my stance on.You should probably take a step back and consider the fine human being you’re speaking to.

From following along I get the idea that you have it ALL figured out.... probably not the case.
BTW, why have you changed your site name numerous times?
When was the guide last produced?All figured out? If you can’t see the
Issue here you’re the one that needs to check yourself. I have changed my name to keep it in keeping with my channel, though that’s not relevant.
Mark, I’m sure you’re a fine guy, but I think copying, reproducing and selling a product that isn’t yours is not acceptable.
I edited my post because I figured getting frustrated here is not going to change your thoughts. I wrote it through frustration and felt I went a bit far and was rude.When was the guide last produced?
Where is Mark "competing" with sales trying to make a million?
Maybe Mark is showing interest to keep a well thought out tool useful today...
Why do you edit your post so quick?
Lacking spine?
I get that. You are probably bitter because you have had some spoon carving ideas stolen which has caused this outburst.I edited my post because I figured getting frustrated here is not going to change your thoughts. I wrote it through frustration and felt I went a bit far and was rude.
