Cutting faster and staying sharp longer is very attractive in a saw chain. I noticed that even on my first couple of attempts, which were not very...
Yep, seems like remember a little bit, on those old cartoons.
That's because it's made for driving wood fence post into the ground, that have been sharpened like sort of like a pencil on the end that goes...
Yep, there's no telling how old it is. I don't know the origin of it. My dad owned it all of my life, and it may have been owned by his dad. These...
Yep, one needs to be in fair shape. Once you start pounding a post with it, there's a technique where the hammer will bounce off of the post and...
Yes, it is kind of special to me. As a little kid, I was the gofer and many a time I was sent to go get this maul and bring it back to where...
Got it done, cleaned up and a new handle. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
No pictures tonight, but I was excited to find it. It's not a splitting maul, it's a Post Maul, 16 lbs. It was my dad's and I was probably 6 years...
Yes, they can last a long time as fence post. On our farm, all of my years growing up, and even until I was in my mid thirty's, my dad never used...

My starts easy, and re-starts easy, I do like that.
Thank you, next time I buy a chain, that's the way I will go, probably.
Yes sir, that's the way I understand it. Makes me think it's well worth the effort to learn it. Question: I know it's not that hard to do and...
Thank you Guys, for all of your help. I have learned a lot from you fellows and a couple more on the board here. Without being able to tap into...
Thank you, I am getting there. Actually, especially after once establishing the cuts on the first filing, I believe it can be about as fast as...
Yep, I was hanging my file pretty bad when trying top down. I believe bottom up is a lot easier on the files, and they don't give those things away.
I can see these few teeth do not hit right in the corner, but I did better on many of them. If anything I allowed a tiny bit of side beak, but not...
I finally got my hands on some of the Vallorbe double bevel files and redid the full comp chain I was playing with on my 361. I found filling from...
