Simington / Silvey Square Chain Grinders Tips/Tricks/Secrets

[Icepick69]

Heck, is there a difference?
I work all mine. On a hardwood chain

 

[Icepick69]

Race or work?

Guess what. No more getting wet in my shed, and holds heat so good. Spray foam is the ticket.

On race chain I file the gullet down to the top of the straps.

Gotta have good cutter lube. If a man has a good cutter, great lube. He can beat it often.
Nothing like having a good cutter. I posted a picture few weeks ago of a prime cutter. One a man couldn’t refuse to beat.
Did you see it?

Me either, but I’m back now. This winter was rough on the savings. And also a great learning experience @chipper1 .
Put new roof on shed. Didn’t leak anymore, but when running space heater, dripped water worse then leaking.
Spent money on closed cell insulation.
Later, found out that that space heater was causing all the dripping.
But still money very well spent, wood stove heats it up so nice now.
Very comfortable now. Sometimes to hot. And I could never say that before in the winter

 

[Icepick69]

Also had motion lights installed and all led lights inside

Mite not look that bright in picture, but the two brite ones are 17,400 lumens. ( each )
There’s 6 of them in here.
I love them, I can see now

 

[mdavlee]

How ya like the still. It was from my uncle.
He seized it when he became state trooper in the 40’s.
I begged for it for years, when he died, my cousin brought it to me.
I love it.
I finally can display it now.

It’s got a pecker also, like some of my chains.
Must have produced good stuff.

 

[mdavlee]

I like it. Be better to see it running good liquor
