this guy scares me

I call double ********....... round is welcome and we are separating work chain from race chain too !!!

how long have you been running a saw? how long have you been filing? if you've only been serious about it since 2012 you got alot of catching up to do there buddy.

i'm honest about my abilities. i tried square filing in the past and didn't pick it up again til recently. only reason i started doing it is to sharpen chains in camp without my grinder. i can make a chain cut good enough with a square file to not be hesitant on square filing for the woods but i do need alot more practice. i like how i have an all in one file too rather then carrying a round and flat. one things for certain. square filing on a stump is a whole new art compared to square filing in a vice. half the work is done for you in a vice lol. i'm trying to get used to doing both side cutters from behind the saw in the same position. it's proven extremely difficult cause i can't hardly see the cutter but i know if i can master it i'll be set.i can make one cut better then round anyways. i was working a home job recently and i do like to just grind after the day is done rather then touch chains up in the bush. most fallers round file. again, my chains work, not interested in a race at all.

Little trick.. Tight chain. And lay the bar tip in your lap. File on the nose, into the cutter.
YMMV

I'm a chitty square filer. I don't have the patience for it.

Careful there..

Mopar's chains are very good cutters.. I don't care if he was a 12 year old girl who just picked up a file yesterday, he knows how to make a chain cut. I've run them.

I am deleting my sharpening videos!

lol, am i seeing you are a printer as an occupation? your trying to teach me tricks that are as basic as basic gets i would expect any firewood hack to know. i know how i like to file. saw up against the slope of a humbolt on a stump. very few file like you say other then the tight chain part. if a guy don't know that he shouldn't be anywhere near a saw.

i am very sure he can. all it takes is a heavy interest. if you didn't notice i said 95% of people can't file. mopar gets offended because he thinks i automatically put him in that 95%. the fact still remains, 95% of people can't file a chain worth a ****. mopar is likely in the 5%. one thing to add is file while needing to produce. you don't get a ****'n half hour to file your chain lol were not just using little 20" er's either. my point was sure mopar can probably file. he has interest in it after all. i had that interest when i was 7 years old lol. so i suppose i can go back and not see anyone here asking questions about how to file a chain around the time they joined? or how to square file?

Yes.. That is what pays my bills. I also clear fence rows on the side.
I am just a hack with no pretty trees to cut down..
Not very exciting..

And I can still sharpen a chain better and faster than you...
Put up, or shut up...
Send a chain.
Or are you a coward?

 

[Hedgerow]

And yes shane..
I'm baiting you.

Been running saws and sharpening chains since 1983. Only been square filing a few years

Were you even born before 1983 cupcake ?

I razz you cauze you dish it out, and I will keep razzing you each and every chain race, so get in on it and make it easier on both of us

 

[Hedgerow]

I like perspective..

I like to see what others think is "good"
Or "poor"..

lmao, before you even posted in this thread i said i had no interest in racing chain. in fact, i actually said it was one of the more foolish things i had ever heard of. that hasn't changed. like i said, i work with a saw and a sharp chain. if my chains were weak i wouldn't make it very far. while you do it for fun. when i'm looking to have fun i don't even wanna think about sharpening chains. ain't no amount of bait gonna get me to participate in a dang chain race lol. if it's what makes you guys tick have at it but it don't do it for me.

I double dog dare ya...
You know you want to..
It's just a little chain..
Take maybe 10-15 minutes to whip one out and send it.
Easy peasy

For "perspective".
I only burn about 2-3 gallons a week. Sometimes less depending on weather conditions..
Limited days to work.
Does this make me a "firewood hack"?

You have to have more than an interest to be good, and Hedgerow is being kind, I don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as him as far as filing goes.

Lastly Shane, you got me all wrong. I ain't insulted at all, not one single bit. I do enjoy seeing how far you try reaching on some stuff, but I think you should try a little more to put a chain or two in these races, then you could stop giving excuses and tell me to shut-up !

 

[Hedgerow]

OK.. You don't have to...

Ifn' you are a tad scared and all..

I mean, if a couple firewood hacks drubbed your chain, that would be right embarrasing..

So I can't blame ya there..

Lol.
