    Sharpening: part 2, square chisel chain.

    Kyle: What propitious timing! Please, please, please: kindly disregard everytning that I said about making a video, and go with this guy instead for at least these three reasons: 1) He is almost certainly (not a hard sell) vastly more intelligent than myself. 2) He almost certainly does not...

    Sorry man, I just saw your other questions.... Hardwoods... don't matter... old wives tale. Just relax the side plate angle a bit and use higher rakers or it'll stick like mad on the diagonal cut in Oak and stringy Birch and stuff like that. Still cuts a ton faster and will not dull faster...

    Sharpening: part 2, square chisel chain.

    Dave: Really good to hear of someone else messing with this bedeviled stuff. I'm obsessed with it, and probably half-insane with obsessive-compulsive disorder, otherwise, I'd probably just round-file it all. I really do believe that one does have to be just about crazy to become even adequate...
