lol and Gfy tooGood morning fellas and Dallas
Anything exciting today?lol and Gfy too
I’m okay what about you?went to breakfast
hows you slacker
Which is why we all need to guide the ones that try to follow in our footsteps. We will never fix the entire problem, but we all can do what we can.If you guys need something to make fun of me for in the future..
I never thought I'd say this..
But I listened to a show Dr. Phil did this morning and it was spot on..our coming generations are in BIG trouble.
If you are at minimum making $10/chain (I hope you’re at least that high) then you should be making minimum $300/wk most of the year. With a automatic grinder, you take a minute to setup the depth of the grind for each individual chain at the time you swap it out, but then you get to walk away and make money working on something else while it grinds for 5-10 minutes. It pays for itself that way as well. I setup and used a Franzen when I managed the Stihl dealer and it was well worth it not tying up a tech or parts guy to sharpen chains for an afternoon.The tree guys go as long as they can until the weather gets bad, this year they went all year to some degree but I don’t get every tree guys sharpening yet just 3 of them, but I may have a couple big ones in the works and if that happens I’ll maybe have to buy one. I also am doing the chains for a local guy that rents a firewood processor but that’s .404 just like the local logger that has me do his.
You will be missedGood morning folks. I’m expecting 4 chainsaws in the mail today. I’m dreading leaving for the weekend and not having internet and then having to catch up on probably 10 pages of this thread.
Too late, he said he was leaving at noon.You will be missed
Yeah I don’t think at the moment I have that volume where I can grind while working on a saw, kinda on the fence how deep I want to go at the moment. Lots of the tree guys stuff is fairly new and not a lot of breaking stuff unless it’s self inflicted. I haven’t advertised because I’m doing it out of my house and trying to keep the traffic down at my house. So the repairs have been at work they drop off and pick up out of my truck or the tree guys who know me and text ahead then just drop off and pick up. So for the moment I have time to sit and grind chains in between. There is a big power line clearing outfit a guy I work with has an in-law that’s higher up there and was looking for someone to do their saws other than the main local shop so if in get their saws I’ll probably need a grinder. After seeing the price I’ll sharpen by hand for now 26,000$ is a lot of chains and I’m charging 7-10$ per chain depending on length.If you are at minimum making $10/chain (I hope you’re at least that high) then you should be making minimum $300/wk most of the year.

The Franzen’s are top of the line. Oregon makes an automated grinder for $7-8k that would probably suit you better. There are others out there also. Just food for thought. I have quite a few people bringing me chains as well, and have considered other options myself.Yeah I don’t think at the moment I have that volume where I can grind while working on a saw, kinda on the fence how deep I want to go at the moment.
