good tip. I use a white paint marker or tipex. tends to stay on the chain well for the up to 4 revolutions to do the teeth and the rakers/depth guages

My tip of the day.

 

If you need a quick vice for sharpening your saw, cut into a log about 2 inches and use that to hold the bar in place whilst attending to your dull teeth.

 

Ahmen to that! a forester showed me that trick a while back - almost more efficient than a field vice!
