Rocking chains

[turnkey4099]

My brother had 3 mystery trees removed 2 years ago. Tree service delivered, as asked, them to his pasture. I, needing something to do, agreed to cut them into 16" chunks. I didn't want the wood and he had promised it to a neighbor. Neighbor doesn't have cutting equipment. Okay, this looks like fun. Logs scattered in a long row on top of piles of gravel ranging from 36" on down. I put in 3 hours yesterday and rocked two chains. Figured quick work to finish today. Nope, another 3 hours and more chains rocked. Only hit dirt twice but some of the logs were dirty. I don't know what the wood is but it is hard and dense, looks brown. He thinks it could be Eucalyptus. Anyhow sum total of rocked chains:

2 32"
2 28"
3 20"
1 25"

Barely finished and I was leaning heavily on the last chain I had with me. Should be a good occupation for a few hours sharping chains on a rainy day.

I knew someone would ask. I haven't posted a pic since photocrap took to strongarming people. I'll try learning how to use the photo section here. Has anyone put up a sticky on how to do it?

It's really easy. At the bottom right you see three choices - Post reply, Upload a file, More options. Click on Upload a file, and select the file from your computer. You can leave it as a thumbnail or select full image, then post reply.

In 45 years of cutting I've rocked enough chains of my own, don't really want to see any more, Joe.

Yeah, it's like when you're playing golf and tell someone to watch out for the trees on the right. You know where his ball will go.
