Any update on the sharpener? I've got a huge dead oak & another big one that was struck by lightning that need to come down.
@curious2garden

So I did buy one. $25 this month.

I sharpened a few chains yesterday, starting with my most worn chain as practice, It seems to work well, and it's quicker than I expected. I mounted it to a piece of scrap 1 x 4 and then it can be clamped to a bench when needed, and put away when not. Plus this way with a chair you are right at eye level.

What I like best is you can take a whole lot less meat off your chain than they do at a shop...I can see chains lasting much longer with this.

It has adjustments for depth and angle so they say it can sharpen any chain. It's the typical HF unremarkable quality, but I think well worth the money.

The true test will be seeing how it cuts, and hopefully I'll have an update on that later today. I'm going to start with a smaller one hanging over my driveway, and near power lines :o I'll let you know how it cuts!!

Back in the olden days before electricity when I still cut a lot of wood, this company had everything you needed for chainsaws, mills, etc.

It's 1 pm tomorrow in Japan already, lol, , and I read today they are just opening the country back up after 6 months of shut downs!!

I know, I know, what's that have to do with anything??? Nada, but I did just get baked...Pre grocery store baked!
If I did that you'd see me pushing one cart & pulling another.
Everything looks good when I'm stoned.

Thank you! I'm looking forward to hearing how the sharpened chain cuts. I see a Christmas dilemma solved if it does a good job!
