Oak milling, how to sharpen Ganberg chain.

How do? Here is a few photos of my first go at milling I built the mill myself. I am using Ganberg 3/8 milling chain and a 42 inch Gb lo pro bar. This may be a stupid question but I am guessing you just use a 7/32 file to sharpen then chain? It just seemed fairly tight so I got the job done but I just need to sharpen the chain now.

Cheers Joe

Cheers Mark. Which sharpener is it, is it the perscion one? My plan is to get a reel of chain and make four chains up and just sharpen them on a night.

Defiantly Oak( qurcus rober)! It has a lovely grain, wait for the later photos there's a bigger peice to mill.
