Well...this little site is addictive...I turn 55 on Sunday and don't want cake and ice cream. Just want another insight or discussion on my chainsaw hobby. I don't cut much wood anymore but love the sound and smell of the best power equipment on the earth. CHAINSWAWS!!
My great uncle Oscar was a professional saw filer before and during WW2. The sawyers worked all day and returned the saws to the filer's shack at the end of the day. He worked all night filing those crosscut saws. In the Idaho panhandle, nighttime = dark. I guess he had a Coleman lantern but that was so he could find his file and can of Copenhagen (and little bottle).
My aging father tells me that Uncle Oscar could file a saw better than anyone else it town even after he was legally blind. This man was a professional...he did not ever miss a days (nights) work in the woods until he got too old and fat eating the breakfast from the camp cooks. :blob5:
