I have a double bevel and a triangular one. Just thought a single bevel would give a better feel of control because the edge cutting the side plate looks larger than on the doubles.

I'll bring my files and if I can't get it ground someone can give me on the job training sharpening square.

Come to the Ct gtg in 2 weeks and I'll grind it for you.

If I was able to go up tomorrow I would pick him up for you Jeremy, but I got the Grandsons tomorrow (I'm baby sitting) and will not be going up till Sun morning.

Sorry about that! Sounds like a lot of driving for you.

Huh?

I'll bring up some extra PFRED square files if any body wants one. I believe they set me back $10 ea.

I like em much better than the triangular ones. The triangles dig into the strap on the opposing side too much.

I sharpen by hand and will show anyone who wants how I do it.

I tried it once with a slightly dull Stihl square ground chain and it felt abnormal. I'll take all the tips I can get.

One of the things I like about this GTG is it's the one time of the year I get to hang around with......................well, "Stihl People". I was always a little leery of that bunch. I mean, how much do we really know about stihl people? Where do they come from? Why are they here? Ya know, my neighbor runs a stihl. He has some buddies that run stihls come over some nights, and they have these mini GTG type things. Being a Husky/Jonny guy I haven't been invited, but ya know, maybe if they knew I had that 041. They run these saws kind of late into the night. Don't really bother me, cause I run saws late sometimes when I'm out in the workshop. But, comes around midnight and there's other eerie sounds from up on that hill. Sometimes amongst the saw noise, I hear screams. Horrible screams followed by ...................laughter! A mighty sinister bunch these stihl people are. But I'm looking forward to seeing a few of you on Sunday.

OK, real reason for the post, now that I have the attention of you stihl heads. Have a couple books that would be interesting to stihl guys. Came with one of our dealer buyouts. Complete set of service manuals covering the 08s-084 era. Includes 038, 056, 076, 090, 084. Looks like they've hardly been used. Also have a book of IPLs covering mostly the same models. Pictures below. This stuff worth anything to someone? Like maybe a case of IPA?

Those books are all on Mediacat. Speaking of Mediacat, does anyone want a copy? I can make a few and bring them.

There goes my free beer idea. :(

But media cat doesn't smell like an old saw shop.

I'll take a 12 pack. LOL
