Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Hope it wasn’t on your head at the time!

That's the one I use too. Simple and fast. I use the full chisel LGX73 saw chain. The top of each tooth has a file angle line etched on it. I use that as a file angle guide but the difference between that and the edge of the roller guide is so small that my eye can't really see it.

EDIT: John here is an interesting little diddy I found on FF.

" Howdy,
With a chisel tooth, if you set the vise angle at 30, and the vise tilt at 10, the net top plate angle will be about 25.

Hunt that meat ought to be the type that melts in your mouth. I can almost taste those back-straps looking at your picture.

Some of you guys have run over your chain saws. But how many of you have run over your helmet ?? I have a long story but the short version is stupidity. The saw wasn't running but it still should have been on my head. Nice almost new Husqvarna A-number-1 helmet too.

That meat is great!!

I've never ran over a saw, or a helmet.. but I dropped a tree on one of my saws once... does that count?

That helmet picture hurts! Looks like the same helmet I have and if so that's about $130 down the drain if I remember correctly. (yup, just looked it up) Mine anyway...

Fortunately I am innocent of both. I always set my saw down by a standing tree. I am surprised the helmet snapped.

So how does that roller unit keep the angle correct? Looks like the file could wander all over the place..

DITTO.................

Sounds awesome, what's the rifle?

Looks like GG has some spare helmet parts, be useful if replacing with same helmet. I usually break my helmet after I throw it and that's only after I get blanked off................

Ok, these pics have nothing to do with tractors or wood, if that bothers you I'm sorry but these were just too cool not to share.

They were taken from the end of my driveway yesterday morning of that Boeing space launch!

You DONT get pics like this from Maine!

Sounds awesome, what's the rifle?

Thompson Contender single shot, custom 18" barrel in 30/30.. My main hunting rifle! light weight , easy to handle, and just stupid accurate!

OH!!!... I just noticed you edited MY words.. and its IF you win!

The sharpener with the rollers. I have one too. The work great, really fast and easy.
You just push back on the tooth a bit, keep the file square in the unit and roll it. Hard to explain exactly, but it's much easier than other guides or jigs I have tried.

It can wander all over like you say. It is really a guide for your eye not for the file. You get good visibility thru the whole stoke w/o any cumbersome attachments on the file. Allows you to rotate the file between strokes or even thru the stroke. The rollers give you a proper height rest but you need to supply the steady straight smooth stroke at the correct angle yourself using the edge of the guide as a reference. If you can do that it is fast and easy to move along down the chain.
