Razor Sharp Chainsaw

I'm a chainsaw toting, wood cutting and splitting kind of guy and do sharpen my own chains, usually every time I fill up the chain lube chamber. There's nothing worse than struggling to get some work done because your saw has a dull chain, so check out this helpful video from our northern bretheran at Swedish Homestead.

Of course, I always have a spare chain in my chainsaw case too, just in case. When bucking deadfall, the use of a woodchchuck timberjack helps roll the log out of the dirt and grass but even the smallest amount of gravel and grit can dull a chain pretty quick and sometimes it's just as easy to switch out your chain and sharpen the dull one later.
