sharpening chains

I can totally see where you're coming from. Its your business no one is making you climb without a rescue climber and only you stand to loose out in the event of an accident, and of course no one else is at risk.

 

I just dont fancy it myself, I have done it several times when i first started on my own but having a second climber who is competent speeds the job up considerably. I could'nt climb all day every day, its nice to let someone else take the strain and its quicker too if you share the work.

I don't want to be rude, but that one would be an easy take down, less than a day. While I dismantled it my man would have it dragged and chipped.

 

I know you're not short of work but if you're that quick there's always a job for you here!

Fair comment, but I want to climb ever day, I also like to do the most expensive part of the job my self, I'm a big fan of PROFIT!!!!

Fair enough that sharpening a saw in a workshop may result in a better job if the vice is free standing.Otherwise I never seem to get a comfortable angle on one side or the other.

I'm the only person i know who does this but try sharpening kneeling with the saw between your legs, sharpen the lhs teeth right handed and the rhs teeth left handed. I may be somewhat ambidextrous but if you can get used to holding the file in your other hand this is very quick, one left one right and so on, no need to get up and change position.
