    Thank you Buckin’!!!!! I’ve been cutting firewood for a few years now and after watching this video I’m itching to get out to the woods again!! I went from filing with too small of a file and “C’s” to “gettin’ the gullet” and having nice ski jumps…don’t worry, I followed up with my raker gauge and got those dialed in!!! Thanks a million!!!!

    Like everyone else is saying. Thanks for the detailed filing videos. I learn something new from every single one of these videos you make. It’s helped me a lot. Your videos are the only reason I can even sharpen an old saw and cut!

    Even though I have watched UMPTEEN videos on you sharpening chains I am always enthralled by your ability to quickly sharpen a beat up chain.
    And in watching I have learned to sharpen my chains as well.
    So much so that I find myself using a hand file more than I do my Oregon grinder.
    Thanks Buckin'!

  • @nate2838
    @nate2838 Před 2 lety +2

    Best advice i can give someone starting to sharpen - DON'T WAIT TILL ITS DULL. Get it when it still has the right shape to it. Trains your eye and trains the feel of the file. Keep file in a straight line alignment to with your elbow.

  • @tazman-kennyfuller
    @tazman-kennyfuller Před 2 lety +2

    Love the demonstration and explanation. Also the simplicity of just the file and no guides. Other than for the rakers. Thank you also Buckin for the demo on semi chisel chain. AWESOME. Love ya brother. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓

  • @thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849

    Absolutely beautiful video in so many ways! The camera work was exquisite, and I could actually see the metal filings exiting as you pushed the file!
    I still remember some of the very earliest videos you did on filing technique, and I remember so much of what you were teaching then. I have learned to listen to the sound of the file as it cuts. I remember you talking about how with the first few passes, the file typically sounds very rough and bumpy, but at the end it's almost a whisper! Great teaching as always!
    Love you all...❤️❤️❤️

    I was using a file guide before because free handing looked alot intimidating! with your videos it gave me the confidence to try and try over and over again .
    Was real funky in the beginning but now I feel like my chains are on par with stock . Sometimes they feel even better !

    I am an amateur Sawyer I watch your videos all the time I been sawing for 25 year's and you show me things I never heard of that work. Thanks man please don't stop making videos. I mostly do it for fire wood but I also remove dangerous tree's from homes. I have no climbing gear but a sharp brain and wise tips like you provide are the best. I throwed away alot of good chain's because I thought they were done and if would have known good completely sideways with file to get that hook back I would have done what you showed me. I run a holtsforma 660 it's a beast. I bought it to make my own lumber. I live in WV tree's are everywhere. I ptefere soft wood but walnut and oak for fires ash stinks to me I don't know why. Thanks again. By the way you are one of the best sawyers I seen so far

    I was looking through a lot of the other instruction videos and I was thinking to myself if I had all those gadgets I could sharpen the chainsaw too in a couple of minutes. But all I have with me in the bush is a file.. it was refreshing to see your straightforward video ...thanks guy from this gal.... Plan on checking back with you for a couple of other things...

  • @robertholsopple9451
    @robertholsopple9451 Před rokem

    I am just starting to sharpen my own chains and this guy seems to have the best videos and being new to this, I couldnt figure why some guys were so adamant about counting strokes and having teeth all the same size...it didn't make sense to me. All we're looking to do is sharpen the tooth right? So that why I'm here. Billy seems to know his stuff and his videos are helping alot of guys and dispelling some bad techniques from guys teaching bad or pointless techniques. This is the guy I'm choosing to take my saw advice from hands down. I just use my saws around the property and to cut some occasional firewood. It's nice to not have to pay to have my chains sharpened or buying new ones. I dont saw much but this is nice to know for sure. Thanks Billy

    We have been harvesting dead and/or down national forest Pinyon in Nevada for 24 years. It’s at the 6000’ level and some of it can be big. Our record is two cords from one tree. Falling and maintaining a sharp chain was a mystery until you clarified the process…and I’m still learning. The 372 and I both thank you for the detailed and accurate methods you teach. Plus, it’s fun as heck and the family stays warm all winter. Win-win.

    No matter how many videos I watched, I could not get the results to come close to what we've just watched. Then I finally found something that really made a big improvement - my glasses. Amazing how much sharper and consistent you can be when you can see. I should have known better...

  • @shieldwolffalcontrainer9040

    Started cutting wood oh way back about 1989-90. Took me a couple of years in the woods filing b4 i got it perfected. I agree 1000% that it takes time to learn how to get it exact. Anyone trying to learn keep up the practice and listen to what someone who does it regularly say or shows you. Great video love the close up shots. God bless.

    Billy Ray it is so true such a great idea you don't have to flip your chainsaw just flip the angle of your hands such a wonderful tip and just like everybody else every video I learned something new from you even if you don't say it just by watching your hands... There is so much to learn from you.... Thank you my friend

  • @inilegnam
    @inilegnam Před 2 lety +2

    This was so helpful. I've been felling and cutting my own firewood now for over 15 years. My first saw was a brand new MS250 with a blown piston that someone had at the end of their driveway to be thrown out (ran it without oil I guess). I learned a lot rebuilding that sucker! But I never had a good teacher on sharpening and have had to learn what I could on my own, but I've always felt handicapped by the stupid Stihl sharpening jig. As a woodworker that uses hand tools, sharpening is a huge part of my work, so see this was really an "ah ha!" For me to watch you do it this way. Now I can take my saw sharpening to another level. Thanks, Billy! You're a truly kind and generous soul! You videos are so uplifting and inspiring.

    Love the intro Buckin! Great sharpening video :) Thanks for taking the time and effort to get the camera set up with such a good view, I know that takes time to dial it in this well.
    To me, one of the best ways to check if its sharp it to check on the inside of the tooth and make sure you have a polish on the edge, ideally the entire inside of the tooth with have a polish on it, and as buckin puts it, a nice C shape that starts at approximately 55 degrees.

    Thanks a lot for your explaining and patience Billy Ray. Though you talk a lot ;) you've learned me a lot the past few days. I filed for years with a file guide on. When the chains worn out they didn't cut so good anymore. I checked the gullets and guess what, only 'ski slopes' and no C's. So I ditched the guide and I can actually see what I'm doing and getting really agressive chains. Keep up the good work and many thanks for your old school approach and tricks. Greetings from France.

    Thanks Buckin' I was doing some filing today on my Dolmar/Makita 7900. First chain, still learning. This helped quite a lot. I dropped about 15 trees the other day for a friend (working) who is building a house on a hill with plenty of gum trees on it. Medium sized, some dead, gum trees (100ft) the largest ones.
    I love the 7900, even though it's stock, it really has some balls.
    Keep up the good work,

    Been sharpening saws for three decades now and I still have to turn the saw around and lay it across my leg in the field. Buckin’ is right! Learn to use your left hand before you get too comfortable turning the saw around and you’ll be more efficient and your pants will definitely thank you for it!
