I kinda like making chains. Gives me /something/ to do that's saw/tree related, since I don't get as much of that as I like. I might have a different opinion if I were making chains for several crews, and I certainly wouldn't want to use my hammer/anvil method in that case, but those fancy...

Looks like about 2 reels worth of 20" bars.

I'm just a dummy with computer stuff, same as tree stuff. I just put in some time to figure some of it out. Anyone else could do the same if they were sufficiently motivated.

That percentage is surprising, but I'd expect Oregon to outsell Stihl. It's cheaper, and easier to get. I think Oregon is objectively inferior to Stihl, but an argument for it could be made on a bang/buck basis.

Don't worry about it. It's cause you're Danish ;^)

It's pretty easy, and I don't have to be fast. It's not like I'm making chains for a whole tree company. Just put one together as I need it. I also like that it's cheap and portable. I keep all my stuff in my saw gear bag along with some tie straps, and I can repair a chain in the field, though...
