The oregon ones were great. I don't think they do them now if I recall. Made hand sharpening very easy imo. Other option is just a standard bench vice and clamp the whole saw in, but this will be the cheapest option over a decent vice

Yes I use them in the 80s in Chesterfield, they were great. Would sharpen dozens of chains a day in a shop. Happy days !!

Try your lical scout group, theymake fire trays out of them.

Ask your lical scout group they should want it 

OK, so I'm not super fit, but I've worked on chainsaws mechanically since leaving school *^^%£$£ years ago. I have CS30, and wondering if there is much work around for a groundie in the north west before I spend more on getting CS31 and wind blown etc? Not looking to get rich, looking for a career change into something more interesting. I want to be part of the movement to plant millions of trees and maintain/make safe the ones we have. Also like the idea of getting into Forestry but understand the opportunities are limited in the north west.

All comments good and honest will be appreciated.

Does anyone know of a similar course in the north west?
