    That has to be the most ridiculous way I’ve ever seen someone sharpen a chain.

      I think your definition of sharp is different from mine! I've never seen a chain sharpened that way in my 40 years of logging!

    Great video. That old 55 still cuts good. I've got a newer than that but still older 455 that cuts good. Every year it just keeps on going.

    I've had a few years where I was counting on good weather to process some firewood and ended up with nothing but rain. I've learned to start way earlier in the season! Good luck

      So im not rhe only one who noticed that. I prefer sharpening chains with a basic bare bones rat tail file and every once in a while i have to adjust the rakers with a flat metal file. Its slower but i feel it saves me from taking to much off at once.

    • @amandahess9228
      @amandahess9228 Před rokem

      I wouldn’t call that sharpening. I’m not being an A-hole but that was honestly the worst technique I have ever seen sharpening a chain. You can see how dull it is when he is bucking the log and forcing the saw. You shouldn’t attempt the following but a properly sharpened chain should cut right through the wood holding it lightly with one arm.

    • @cheaphomesteading
      @cheaphomesteading  Před 5 lety

      I have a Napoleon nz 3000 The front of the stove is wider than the back. So I cut my wood lengths between 16 inches and 21 inches. My Napoleon stove is awesome. It looks like an insert but it is duct work into the furnace and heats the whole house pretty even.
