Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[chipper1]

I know its a bit shallow. The angle is a bit conservative too.

Husky file guide and a 7/32 file.

Today (After the picture) i added s bit more of an aggressive angle. But the file guide wont let me get any more hook. I may try a 13/64 And see if that gives me a tad more hook.

Thanks for the advice Brett[emoji1303][emoji41]

Yep, a smaller file may help.
Remember, it's a guide, you still can use your Jedi senses to touch it up to best meet your needs same as you do on a new chain if needed.
You cutting tomorrow.

I get proper hook on the tooth by filing with 10% of the file above the tooth. Cuts amazing.

Nice load of pin oak. Seems to be my favorite wood since it’s got a straight grain that splits easyhad to cut 1 piece. And saved a small piece to mill since I like the grain

New wheels? Looks like you don't trust the handbrake.

Well I think I’m going to try and clean out some of the shop tomorrow. It’s been a catch all since fall and there’s so much crap in there you can barely walk through. Was thinking about building some duck houses and bird houses soon so need to saw parts put away.

Scrounged some noodles for the duck house. I hadn’t cleaned it out in a few years. There must have been an inch of egg shells in there on top of the wood chips I had put in last time. 3 dud eggs too.

Mother duck will line the best with down but it helps to have something to keep the nest off the wood floor.

Yes started a family finely and needed a much bigger rig. E brake is shot. I use a 2x4 against the seat for now while putting my wheel chock down.

Built a rack for it too so I can load it the way I like. I need more straps toonext time I’ll go longer on the legs maybe put a hook attachment on it to strap down the wood

I just couldn't refrain... Yes I sharpened a couple chains in the kitchen. It clouded over n got chilly outside.

The season has just started and I already have around 8 chains hanging on the 'to be sharped'' nail. I hand file, about 10 minutes a loop.

Went back to grab what I split and left at the one homeowners property by Villanova University. Ended up grabbing a dual wheel wheel barrow and man did that make a difference in moving by hand!View attachment 809264View attachment 809265

Nice score Ryan. First thing I thought was gonna start calling you @dancan jr. when i saw the loaded van pics.

 

[farmer steve]

Wow! 3 pages behind since yesterday morning. Looks like scroungers be scrounging. Good job men.

 

[Oz Lumberjack]

Early morning scrounge last weekend. Then split and stacked half the trailer load

 

[Oz Lumberjack]

Went to the same spot again this evening. Was a much better view without the fog. If only I had a gun I could have taken home some venison as well. Was standing in the middle of the track.

I used to , had to retire it years ago

Ah yes, but the van is the stuff of legend...
