just a quick sharpening. Wasn't necessarily completely dulled but I hit the dirt a little cutting up some logs for the hugel project that had been on the ground a while. Always faster to take a break and sharpen than to keep trudging with a slow cutting chainsaw.

To get certified for this BB, post three pics:

  - action pic of sharpening
  - closeup of a tooth that is really dull
  - another closeup of the same tooth - nice and sharp!

Note:
  - it's hard to get a good picture of the dull and sharp tooth so pay particular attention to that.  Perhaps a magnifying glass or good camera would be helpful.



I sharpened the chainsaw chain for a chainsaw that was due for a maintenance cycle at WL. Thanks to Stephen's teaching, it was not as complicated or time consuming of a process as I had anticipated!

I gave my chainsaw a little love today.
Sharpened the chain, cleaned it up and topped off the bar lube.

Sharpening a saw at SKIP!  I missed "Tool Care" class but got to learn because it definitely helped my woodworking today.

I started sharpening to get the hang of it, did the "before" and "after" picture but wasn't happy with how sharp it wasn't, so finished the chain and started again to ensure they were all sharpened equally.

I sharpened our bigger chain saw. According to my husband, it really needed doing.

I was very thorough. This took me 45 minutes or so. I made 20 passes or more on each tooth. I didn't know they usually only get 5ish. I can't wait to try the saw now. It's maybe as sharp as it's ever been!!!

I had a lot of fun with this one, it was my first time sharpening a chain. Once I found the right angle, I knocked all the teeth out in pretty good order.

We recently acquired a chainsaw sharpener, this was my first time using it. It worked well, I would definitely recommend it.

Time to get the winter firewood in, so I suppose it's about time I sharpened the chain.
