In watching all your videos I have gone from descent at sharpening chain to really good. That said I still learn so much every time I watch your videos. I appreciate the time and effort you put into all these videos, keep it up it makes professional amateurs like myself get better every day.

I came on Buckin's channel few months ago by searching videos on how to sharpen a chain. Stayed here, not planning on leaving..
Best plain and simple, no nonsense education on sharpening technique I found online!

I started my own tree service because of what you said. " don't wanna be 80 saying man I shoulda started that business " Jimerson Tree & Home Care has been born and I got 2 big locust trees to bring down tmr I can't even sleep cause i wanna get my bunsin seat on n jonsered fired up. You're a great man and a great inspiration to a lot of folks. Your 1 of a kind: we could use more people like you in this world. Many thanks be safe, brother.

Love these videos it helps a bunch. I'm 62 and have been cutting wood and running a chain saw since I was 15 and evertime I watch one of these videos I learn something! Thank you

Hello, been cutting fire wood for many 30 plus yrs. thanks for posting the video I think everyone can pick up a trick or two. .. happy cutting !!!

[silkloamproject]

The more I watch, go back to yesterdays, watch more, I feel like I'm knowing more, yet feeling more and more lost looking at my own chain. Thank you billy, I'm not confused.

Thanks for these type videos. I cut wood with my dad in Missouri till 30 or so. I could make them cut, sometimes better than others. My dad was good and fast at sharpening. I learned alot from him and forgotten alot. He died 16 years ago and had bad asthma and copd for 10 years before that. I ran the stihl and he liked to run his homelite super xl or it was a super xl 12. So you are helping me remember stuff and teaching me stuff I didn't know, so thank you. I try to live my life with kindness and the Serenity prayer and things usually seem to work itself out. Bless you and yours. Be safe but have fun. Owe and BE KIND

[WantOffThisRock]

Awesome, thank you for this. Been scratching my head as to why i’m constantly cutting with huge curves through the cut. Cheers from Australia!

I'm at full attention during these lectures, professor, and I'm always better off for it! Thank you. Hand file all day.

Aussie wood cutter here. Over about 24 years I have tried all the different chains to figure what cuts best, lasts longest etc in Aussie hardwoods which are frankly brutal on chain.
The following I found out through trial and error.
Aussie hardwood is a complex mixture of resins, silica, minerals and very hard fibres.
Regular bar oil is okay but not ideal. One day when I had run out I used 10 40 diesel motor oil instead on Ironbark which is an absolute bastard to cut dry.
The chain ran cooler and stayed sharp way longer. It cut faster too.
Because it's less sticky it sprays oil on to the teeth as they cut. It also stops the chain gumming up with resin.
I use full chisel chain now. It cuts a lot faster than round ground and it's quicker to resharpen. I hand file. Every third sharpening I use the new Stihl file guide to get the rakers down. I like it. It works for me. The other thing I always do is run the chain till it spits clean oil after a run. A wet oily chain files much quicker and stops the file teeth getting hot. Also dissolves gum on the chain.

Hey Buckin, Best video ever with the bathroom money shot!
If you haven't done so recently, get your prostate and PSA checked, don't ask why, just do it!

I spent the first 5 years of my logging career bucking tree lengths on skidder landings. So every tree was potentially coated with mud, sand, dirt, dust and ice. NE Washington and N Idaho.

I often had to file 10 to 20 times a day so I quickly learned to file, 400 to 1000 cuts plus limbing. Different brands and types of chain make a difference. Chipper (round top) or Semi-Chisel round filed is very good for dirty or muddy conditions. It's forgiving for beginner filers and lasts well for cutting firewood too.

Your videos on chains and sharpening are spot on. I just received my sets of Pferd files from Germany and used your techniques to hand sharpen my Oregon and Stihl full chisel chains. I got my various chains sharper than the new chains out of the box. Keep the great content flowing! Cheers!

[thomaskelly]

Billy, your a highly skilled woodsman that’s obvious but your also an educator and a philosopher. I appreciate the way you ended this video, challenging others to put their ideas and experience out. When I worked I often challenged those I worked with to voice their ideas and to challenge mine. Good ideas and practices will stand up to being challenged bad ideas won’t .

[dogfacemarc]

A man should never quit learning. I am glad you are still learning and willing to show us what you know. Thank you.

[stevennoland]

Thank You Buckin Billy, I have never had a real lesson on filing my chains. They did not do great, and now that I have watched your videos I Know they will. I took off the cover on my brand new Husky 640 and put a new chain on and could not put the cover back on. Thanks to Steve's Small engine Saloon He showed me how to reset the brake. Youi tube Rules!!!! You are doing good work!!!! I never knew what the gullet was. Keep up the good

[albearclaw]

Great content! Great Teacher! Great Personality! Great attitude! Great Smile! I really enjoy your vids. I have learned so much! Keep up the good work!

[jeremiahakins]

Thanks to this man for giving me the confidence to sharpen my own chain. I was not very good just a couple years ago, now I am hand filing chains and they are, in my opinion, quicker than factory chain.
God bless sir.

[matthiasschwetterle]

Filing is so subtil, I’m not ashamed to tell it took 2 years to finally be able to get a constant result. I learned more watching your videos than from anybody else

[Bkellyusa]

I've gone from full chisel to semi chisel recently. I am not expert but there are lots of things I like about a semi-chisel chain. First off they just generally stay sharper longer and two they'll survive dirt better than full chisel. In the last two years my cutting has primarily been storm clean up so those features are important to me. Prior to that I thought that semi-chisel was for chumps so I am as surprised as anybody that I now use the semi-chisel so much.

Thanks for all of your wonderful videos.
