Hey all, ACG's post about skidding logs got me thinking...
I have tried a few different methods of sharpening my saws over the years... Hand file - I struggled to get it real sharp...never quite got the technique right. Dremel - lacked consistency tooth to tooth. Cheap electric - got it nice and sharp but angles were never super accurate and I burned through chain faster than I should have...
Wife got me the Timberline sharpener for my birthday two years ago. I love it.
It is a hand powered, bar mount rotational file...easy to use...can do a chain in 15 minutes...does an excellent job of keeping the angle and profile of the tooth....gets them razor sharp and no chain removal...
During wood season, I keep two chains sharp for each saw, and that can get me through 3-4 half days of work.
I burn 15ish cord and think this sharpening system has been worth the price for me.
Didn't know if anyone else had seen it or used it?

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
