I tend to agree with you high chain speed and long thin chips is cool.I'm allways looking for advice from people with more experience tho.

Lol, a decoy chain is a sub par chain sent to a GTG cull.

Ha ha ha, I only paid 200 for my decoy chain. Yours must have been a Mallard and mine was a goose. Lol
BTW, how did it cut?

It was fast in false wood, but it only looked fast in real wood.
Lol, so it was a half ast chain then.

I agree. An ugly weld generally won't be strong, and an ugly chain generally won't be fast.
I was refering to looking at someone's chain and wondering "what the :censored: were they thinking when they did that?"
It's the same in any racing. Someone thinks outside the box and comes up with some little something that gains just a wee little bit. Many times being covered up by a bunch of other stuff that makes it real hard to see just what makes it fast.
A person admitting to how little they really know about chain, and a strong desire to learn is a crucial step to learning how to make a faster chain.
A lot of people admit they don't know much, but don't have the desire.
Even more people are too proud to admit they don't know everything there is to know.
Me? I've still got a lot to learn.

Hey Andy, here is what Ive learned. I am going to drop off the bikesaw chain that I used to run (and Jay train wrecked) so you can copy it exactly and make us a pair of new ones. My latest chain that I filed was quick, but it didn't feel right like the old one did. No chain I have run on it has really felt right since, I really miss that one. That chain is the standard for "the edge" as far as a bikesaw chain.
edit: I am only going to give you back half of the old chain, so when you make me a new one, I can make sure you didn't forget any details.

Culls like us never get good chain from chain builders, much better to impersonate Donald Lambert or Gaston Dupreire. That way you get your chain for free. Lol

Another thing you could do is contact Tommy Fales Jr. and say that you're Big Dutchman and he'll prolly send you his good stuff. Lol

Like me your not kissing enough azz. Lol But I'm sure Fales , Cahoon, Ed or Woodsjunky would send me a chain if I asked them nicely if I only had a GTG to go to and split the winnings. Lol

Sean, that chain you did up the other day was pretty quick. You just need to leave a little more raker.
I'll build you a couple if ya need them. They might be ready by the end of next September.
