What do I do if my chain is too dull to make the vise?

File it on the ground like most people?

thats a fancy version of a stump vise..Very cool. We make crude ones in less than a minute, but they never look like that! Great work.

Is this what drunk lumberjacks do when they are bored?

@ronnyb1968 You generally make the vise when the chain is about to dull, not after =P

my neighbors an old timber faller , he'd probably like this

We make these all the time. My grandfather showed me how to make these 30yrs ago, just not as fancy. We will make one in the area we will be working first, it saves on the back and it keeps the saw nice and steady to do your maintenance. Don't let your saw get dull, sharpen it when the saw isn't doing the work for you.
As an instructor, presumably in how to operate a chainsaw safely, shouldn't he be starting the chainsaw properly (on the ground) instead of a modified drop start?

@4doctorjohn He holds the rear handle of the saw between his knees, which steadies the saw while you crank. It beats bending over every time, and it is safe.

I don't get it. Just swap chains...

This can be very handy on the landing at a logging job for sharpening saws, and adjusting the carburetor if that is needed. Filing a saw to keep it sharp takes just a few minutes if you have a good place to work.

I just took the pictures. This is one of those things that makes you slap your forehead and say "Why didn't I think of that?!"
