The saw of shame!

[Mountain man]

I have had this guy working for me for a couple of months.

Very good in many ways, bit of a newbie but wants to learn etc. I've got high hopes for him.

He just keeps blunting saws and denying it!

560/562/372 all get blunted by the saw fairy, he cannot sharpen so I spend a fair proportion of the day with a file.

I've tried fronting him up but to no avail. I've even caught him at it, bucking up a trunk and touching the tip into the ground. He just says it didn't happen!

Tomorrow I will have a little ceremony before work, I'll announce that for this day only he is banned from the good saws and must use the Stihl 271, our most hated saw.

Let's see if that works.

In which case he can spend all day on it smoking through wood, the other bloke can use the hot saws. That'll eat away at him.

I got one that does that ,

I have threatened to cut his b@lls off with a blunt knife if he persists.

Make him do all his bucking (on he ground ) cutting only 2 thirds through max Then make him roll the log . Maybe he will see that little bit of extra effort saves a lot of time in the long run making dust with a dull chain .

Uses a saw but cannot sharpen?

Uses a saw but cannot sharpen?

 

Yes, and I'm sure he's not the only one.

[Tree Man Tom]

You obviously have alot more patience than me

[frets1]

don't spend all day sharpening your most hated saw!!

if he is keen to learn and you want to keep him, why not teach him to sharpen? its not too hard.

good luck!!!
