how to sharpen a chainsaw part 1

my info is a little wrong on the purchase of the top handled saw, you can by them if you don't have a chainsaw licence, but some good companys will not sell them to you unless you do have one. Please see the follow on to this video

Thanks! We live and learn.I've been doing firewood and pruning since 1975, doing my own sharpening most of the time, and I've never seen one of those clamps that you hammer into a wheel to hold the bar in place. I wish I'd had one 30 years ago! Your tips are bang-on. Amateurs cannot really sharpen a chain without the guide. I thought I was pretty good with a file, and the cutters seemed sharp but there was dust and smoke. On with the file guide to find I was way out! Did nothing for the ego!

"a file only sharpens in one direction" see, Karl Pilkington's a bloody genius, such an astute observer lol.

@Brainmalfuction I borrowed the saw, so sorry I can't tell you the price, there is a great power difference, but I guess it would also depend of the size of the saw it was going on, it is has a twin ported exhaust on it and if I recall a larger piston, if you use google and type in walkerised saw it will bring up walker shop, do you do a lot off falling? BC sure is a beautiful place

[Brainmalfuction]

@cavealaska1 Cool i used to live in BC how much did it cost to get you saw done and any idea what the power out put difference is?

[cavealaska1]

@Brainmalfuction you can but any size saw you want over here for none commercial use, its just dealers won't sell you a top handled one for tree climbing unless you are a climber. That's why I love Canada, the saw I am using in the chainsaw milling video is a Stihl that has been walkerized, thats done in Walkers shop in Nanaimo BC, I was using the saw on Nootka Island, it has a hell of a lot more power
