How much of a grillling did you get on chains and sharpening?

Nice one Bobby on passing, I passed mine last week and totally and utterly screwed up my 31, nerves got to me I will be retaking it, but feel I need more "saw time" before I do.
I feel confident on my 31 well I say confident I feel I will be a little more relaxed on 31. Ive ben useing a saw for a while under suprvision and been felling trees for 6 monthsish or so.

Can you not get in any practice maybe not out in woods but just practice your cuts on a high stump or somthing similar.

Good luck on your 31.

Re: Passed cs30
Congrats

Good luck with the 31

It's not as difficult as you think as long as you've got your head screwed on
