Mine too! Lol. Not like I need another project but his thread sure makes me want to try it. On the bright side, buying and refurbishing older stuff sure is much cheaper! I used to hate going into antique shops with my girlfriend. Now the tables have turned! I bust through the doors like a junkie looking for a fix!
Now that's funny!Just hope the wedges don’t fall out of my handles, you know, being a husky guy and all.
At least I’m not the only one...lol! My wife enjoys going too of course. And she doesn’t try to beat me to finding draw shaves to use as decoration
Kinda funny. Her creativity and my stupidity combine for some very healthy quality time together. If only she would be drawn to vintage clothing. I'd never have to go to the #!!#*¡ mall again!
That right there is funny
25° top plate is what I use. A little more down angle than my cross cut chains for durability. Can saw about 20 bd feet before a touch up. Takes me maybe 10 minutes to hit each tooth twice.
So in your experimenting did you find square filed chain to last longer before needing a touch up? Your chain filing skills are in a whole other stratosphere compared to mine. It’s gonna take me a while to tune my chains in once I start.
Semi chisel lasts longer. It was 30-40% slower. You get 2-3 cuts with square and 4 or 5 maybe with semi. When I testedit there was 2.5 minute difference in the log I was using to test
Copy thanks. Sounds like a bit of a wash, faster cuts with more frequent sharpening or slower cuts with less sharpening. I bet the faster cutting chain required less work on you to push it through.
I defer angel recommendations to Mike.
It was his recommendation and advice that steered me in that direction. And I've milled a bunch with the square so it's with experience that I say it works well.
