Starting a sharpening service

[Firewood Daddy]

I’m starting a chain sharpening service . I already have a large saw dealer as a new customer and many individuals dealing directly with me.
What I need help with is I cannot come up with a good name for my service. Just looking for some input from you guys . I want something original or a little witty. My wife and I have thought a few , but nothing is sticking yet.

What is up with the Sharpies?

Some sharpening literature will advise to mark the first cutter grind/file so you know when to stop. I've never got that as freshly ground cutters stand out like dogs ....s.

Marking first and damaged cutters
Carbide missing damage
Raker height difference between chains with other loops not as aggressive

I tried this, and the pricing can be tricky. Most people only bring chains in that are nearly gone, and require a whole lot of work. IMO, that only real way to do this is to leverage the sharpening into a repair service -- maintenance, trouble shooting to full rebuilds. It is there that you can effectively compete with the shops, who charge way to much on their hourly rate.

How about Firewood Daddy Chain Sharpening Service. Or just Firewood Daddy Chainsaw Service. Kinda catchy, and if you have a bunch of little rug rats it is appropriate.

Have you considered a separate grinder for rakers?

You can buy a brand new Oregon 620 aka Tecomec Super Jolly for $270 shipped. It's got the hydraulic vise. Might make a nice raker grinder to go with the USG.
