    Nothing exciting just an evening of beer and sitting next to an old woodstove. Lots of bul#@<tt and a little play time with a harbor freight chain grinder. 20180317_161748.jpg

    Tamarack, how was that chain grinder. I've always wondered if they were worth trying

    Yes the harbor freight grinder is ok. Certainly not as nice as say a 511ax oregon grinder, but i believe those are about 400 $. The HS grinder gets the job done, but imho the rail and holddown mechanism leave something to be desired. It was 30$ including shipping so the price is right.

    I have been thinking about one of those grinders. Might have to give one a try at that price point.

    Did you ever notice how stuff like this made in China gets named to sound like it's all American?

    Can you read Chinese ?

    I can't. Half the characters look like fancy bonsai man-cave Pagoda houses.
