Today I recertified as a bucker--renewed the green card. I like doing this because I get to learn things from the guys who do the certifying. Twinkle was very sharp but, as Twinkle will do once and a while while boring, Twinkle kicked back. The instructor, gave this tip, which helped on the next boring cut. When you are boring in with the tip of the bar, wiggle or wobble it a little side to side while cutting and it will help to prevent a kickback. It seems to work, I don't know why.
I was talked into letting somebody else use Twinkle. Mistake. I came down the hill where I was doing traffic control on a trail, and saw Twinkles bar going into the dirt. The guy offered to file the chain but I went ahead and filed it, and hope I have salvaged it. I guess that was a learning experience also. More Barbie Stickers are needed!!
