Carma

Hi all. Anyway yesterday I was invited through my wife to help a friend of hers husband cut wood. I loaded up my stuff including ATV. We got there and it was going to be a couple of days work to get this wood cut up. So after the first day was over wife, invited everyone back to our house for dinner. So Dennis threw his saw in the back of his truck and I suspect never touched it again. We all got back to house, I spent probably an hour plus sharpening, cleaning, adjusting my two sews. Dennis even made the comment I babied my sews too much. Even held up dinner a little bit, but wife knew better than to fuss. Anyway next morning back to cutting, I’d cut up three logs before he even got his Jonsered started. His was so dull he had to ask for a file which he didn’t know how to use effectively. I really felt bad for the trees and his poor saw, it didn’t deserve the abuse.

Chainsaws get used hard, put away wet, and ignored for the most part.

Shame on you. You know who you are.

You now know, who not to let borrow your saw.

Not everyone is anal retention about things. Doesn't make them less of a person or "carma" whatever that is.

Did you help him with the sharpening?

It's not anal retentive, some call it taking care of your equipment. A lot of people use it and abuse it. Some use it and maintain it for longevity.

Maybe he intentionally played dumb so you'd cut his wood. I'm surprised at the amount of people I meet that own saws but don't have the slightest clue about sharpening and maintenance.

I don’t think we’re going to be best buds or anything. If he would have asked I would have sharpened the chain for him, maybe. Yes I’m a lot OCD about my equipment and tools. I barely loan any tools period. If someone has to or needs to use something I’ve got I come attached. Wife and kids even know not to screw with anything in the garages. Heck once my daughter in college at the time asked me to change the oil in her car. Let’s just say after looking at the old oil, it turned into a new engine or newer car. She opted for a newer car, strangely she never asked me to change oil again. We laugh at that one.

It always scares me. If they don't know jack about simple maintenance, you can bet they know even less about safe operation. People seem to be very careless when it comes to chainsaw safety. I don't get it.

Went cutting with some friends a couple years ago. Had my tree down and bucked before they even got a saw started. I think they planned it that way though, because I ended up loading all my wood plus theirs since I was done cutting.

This is why I don't loan my chainsaws out. There is one person I trust enough, but he never asks.

At my age I don't get in such a big hurry cutting trees, I do keep the chains sharp though..
