Gracias,Senor Beetlejuice...

I figured out what he was try to tell me,I just assumed that the gentleman was smart enough to question his approach /ability on the tree removal, so mistakenly I assumed that he would have already figured out at this point in life if he could sharpen a chain well enough to determine it's...

A term of endearment, since I am not only a member of the malarkey slinging club, I'm the president... And this discussion started being tedious at best, I should know better than open my big mouth....

I better stop talking about giving mine away and find a mill that'll pay like that...

That is an interesting approach, although depending on the amount of rot in this situation, may not be applicable, if I'm looking at it correctly. But I can see a lot of situations that this method might be more or at least as appropriate as a standard bore cut... Thanks for sumthin new to try...

Very interesting, I need to go outside and give it a try...

No I haven't, my fault for assuming that he is even qualified to operate a saw,much less sharpen it. I'm not real proficient at calling people out so I didn't quiz him on the basics and was only repeating info that is in every chainsaw manual I have ever had. They all clearly state to ensure you...

Hear,Hear... Well said sir!

Again I apologize for my incorrect quotes, I've said it before in other places , I have this really cool piece of titanium in my head that unfortunately makes me forget 99% of what I type as soon as I type it. I have to go back and refresh if someone like you hits the like button on one of my...

Thought you were gettin caught up in a undercover forest service spark arrestor sting. Run for it man,their coming! 6mpg that's not too bad, my wife's V10 Excursion only got about 7mpg, fairly salty for a school bus...

I think if you're gonna make your first bore cut, start on a tree a little more predictable to become familiar with the technique. But it is very straightforward.

You already said that once, your as bad as my wife, telling me the same thing over and over, does not make me any smarter...:oops:

And anyway I guess when I suggested a sharp chain I was thinking new in box, RS or preference. Not a square ground racing chain, although I can't even see that that would be bad.neither would be worse than a dull firewood chain that hadn't seen a file in a week. Which is what I was advising...

I like that your thinking about it, but my question is how does a sharp chain make this all go wrong, unless I misread what you wrote. I doubt being very sharp could be a problem, but I have been wrong before.

You should become a certified malarkey slinger, you have a natural talent. The test is easy, if I can pass it....

? Did you forget what you were going to tell me, or is there a hidden message in there for me to decipher??

My humor isn't always decipherable. I was talking about spark arrestor screens like "most" saws have, since you were talking about shooting flames out of your pipes,which I am confident that they are not manufactured for FT's(screens that is)

I was kidding about the forest service. FE=Ford Edsel 352,390,427,428can't remember em all. FT=Ford Truck which is what you have, and like you said just a HD version of the FE . I have the same engine in a 76 F750 dump truck, but I haven't shot fire out of mine yet. I guess I'm not trying...

I shouldn't have used the word "couple"so loosely, my apologies. Need appropriate experience in bore cutting. And I never said he needed a spotter to tell him what's happening in or on a tree, even the most experienced faller feller,should ideally have a spotter with any questionable tree. And...

That's what he needs to be concerned with his experience and proficiency with a bore cut, and if not experienced, try on less iffy trees a couple times first. Make sure his chain is as sharp as he can get it and saw is operationally sound. And once the process starts, confidently severe the...
