My first square filed chain...

[PA Dan]

Finally bought a couple files and said im going to learn how to do this. I watched some video's and have been talking to John Rielly about it. I dont have hours to just sit down and convert a chain at one time. When i have some time i go and file a cutter or three. After a few days i can see some improvement. Here is the last cutter i did this morning. I started with a very dull Oregon LGX that i dont believe has ever been sharpened. I have a Safe edge chisel bit file and the weird triangle.

I met John at Randy’s GTG. He couldn’t be more helpful. He’s genuinely glad to talk (passionately) to anyone about chain sharpening. He may have a few secrets, but not many. He’s just a flowing fountain of knowledge. BTW, good job Dan!
