Note: Perhaps if the metal filing were wiped off & another pic taken with a sl;ight different angle from the light this would pass. Good clear pix are the hard part on this BB.

I sharpened my father-in-law‘s chainsaw chain to try to get another season out of it.

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in tool care.

Minimum requirements:
 - sharpen all the teeth on a chainsaw chain ✔️

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!

Here is a video of me sharpening a chainsaw chain. Blessings Catherine

Note: This BB requires 3 pictures instead of a video. The final picture of a sharpened tooth is the most critical.

I sharpened WL chainsaw #606: it needed lots of love. I also cleaned out tree bits from the inside casing and filled it up with bar oil, so it's ready to go again!
