Lets talk about the business aspects of learning how to hand file.:D
 
Ohh you got me their you sly devil. I would love to learn how to hand file I think it would be a great thing to learn but I really don't have any real incentive to learn. You seem stuck on it so if you would like to teach me then I will listen.
 
Danman, just take a file and run it back and forth a few times real quick. Heck, after you cut that brick in half, you can't make it cut any worse :D

I fixed the chain it cuts great now. Jokers was right it had a hook in it I was using the wrong file for it the package said use a 3 16s for a 3/8s pitch chain but I needed a 7/32 file. I didn't cut a brick I hit a metal bar and a piece of cable.
 
Wow, that was a case of me playing, not knowing anything about your past luck. Didn't mean to hit a nerve, I honestly pulled brick out of the air. It was more a slam to the kind of guys who think they can file, but as soon as you see them try, you take the file away from them.

lol Yeah thats cool. The problem is we got 8 dump truck loads of wood in from a neigborhood. The guy who sold us the wood negleted to mention that he said he was clearing a lot. When we got them they looked great but soon to find out they had enough metal to build a swing set out of them. So far that is all I have hit I hated it because I couldn't see the metal so I dug in their with the brand new ms 361 and screwed the chain all up. Thinking nothing of it because when I moved the cut piece out of the way I couldn't see the cable that was on the other side. I just took it off got my spare and then hit the metal in side the tree. That is one of the reasons I had such a problem is becuase that chain was really messed up and I had to grind the crap out of it.
