Could not agree more. I'm a casual cutter....I cut only my own firewood. I've been filing my chains like this for 30+ yrs. and this is the first video I've seen explaining this simple method of sharpening a saw chain.

I use mostly hand powered tools, I do my own firewood so it's good and dry when it goes in the stove, and occasionally use an old Echo I got new in '86. Correctly sharpened chains means never straining the motor, or the chain, or Me, which means I've yet to amputate anything. I've demonstrated to others how I sharpen chains, but I can't explain and demonstrate at the same time - no way. I listen to these tutorials because I know it true, and hearing it explained in great detail is somehow comforting, relaxing.

One of the best instructional videos I've ever seen on youtube! No frills, great camera angles, and 50 years of lessons learned the hard way condensed into a 9-minute video so dummies like me can do it the right way from the start... Take note youtube sharers, THIS is what we want!!

I've been renovating a barn for the past 4 years and of all the videos I've needed to learn from, this is by far the best for a lot of reasons. It's such a simple, beautifully shot video with a teacher that obviously knows what he's doing. What a pleasure to learn from him. Thank You!

I’d recommend watching this video even if you weren’t trying to learn how to sharpen a chain. Thank you for such a well done piece

Excellent instructor. Quiet, conversational, with clear delivery that so many others don't seem to be able to put over these days. Many thanks.

About to sharpen my first chain, and after watching 10 videos on how to, This one was the best by a long long way.

I've always had a gut feeling to listen and learn from the older guys. More detail and answers than anyone. This dude is number 1.

I have watched several chainsaw sharpening videos and this was the absolute best. Every aspect of the sharpening process was covered which included very specific yet understandable steps. Thank you!

I firmly believe that every other channel on KZread needs to come watch this video to see the proper way to make a "How To" video. This may sound silly but after watching you do this, and never having done it myself before, I honestly feel like an expert. Thank you!!!

I was looking for a chainsaw sharpening tutorial, and when I saw that Louis had made one, it was like my birthday. Bring on the Total dory build! Can't wait.

Of the 50 videos I've watched; THIS IS THE BEST, thank you for the best video ever !!!

Man that was excellent, got to be the best tutorial on KZread. You have become a teacher to thousands of us. Thank you.

THANKS!!! Yours is the clearest and succinct explanation/demonstration I've heard/seen. You obviously KNOW stuff.

Very well done with straight forward talk. I loved the sharp, clear closeups as well. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent instruction. Articulate, direct, and thorough. Thanks!

I have looked at a ton of informational KZread videos and yours is absolutely one of the best! Very clear andconcise without a bunch of superfluous information because the presenter likes to hear himself talk. Thanks!

100% Agreed, One of the best videos on youtube for sharpening the cutters and showing the correct way to hold and use the files.

This guy really knows how to use a file. When I was an apprentice in a machine shop, everyone knows that the first thing you must master is how to file. Great video; including camera work and great teacher. Thanks a lot. jrf

Shipwrights and millwrights! These are the guys whose brains you want to pick.

Haven't sharpened a blade in years. Thanks for passing along the old school knowledge. Enjoyed the video. 2 blades and a file will keep me going all day.

This video really helped me so thank you! Every other person who has attempted to show me lacked basic conversation skills and left out crucial information. I am still learning all the skills required for my tree business, so any detailed information with example truly helps!

GREAT VIDEO !! I have been sharpening for about a year now and have watched hundreds of videos about sharpening, maintenance, etc. I finally got the hang of it and do pretty well. It all came down to doing it by hand, having the correct file and raker gauge, and most importantly feel. You nailed it in your video and validated what it took me a long time to learn. I wish I had seen this video first before all the rest. Experience is a great teacher and it looks like you have a lot of that. I just wish I could have learned from your experience instead of my trial and error. Thank you.

Outstanding explanation & demonstration on how to properly sharpen a chain & achieve proper raker height. How to properly hold the file & make the cut was excellent. Measuring the raker, removing the gauge first, make the cut, check it again & simply round off the raker's corner for the final touch. This is by far the best tutorial I have seen on this subject. Thank you... :-)

Best saw chain sharpening video ever. Love the angle marks on the vice...very handy. Out with the protractor, sharpie and ruler tonight. Master Shipwright and and a naturally gifted teacher. Thanks for the lesson.

This gives a dozen or more insightful tips that two previous, highly acclaimed videos did not. Highly recommended!

what a pleasure to watch. you are a natural born educator

The only thing I would add is that the line on the chain is a wear line that Stihl puts on their chains. Once you file to that line, the chains life is finished. That is the primary reason it is there, the angle is secondary.

Very informative video. I've been using a chainsaw for years (before youtube) to cut firewood to heat our house and I learned some things here. Well presented. Thank you !

By far the best chain saw sharpening guidance/instruction I have ever seen. As soon as I get me one of those chain saws, I will be ready to sharpen it.

Thank you. Best sharpening video I saw today. 8 years after posting, I suspect you'll helping people many years to come.

Wow! I actually know how to sharpen a chainsaw now thank you. You're the only one. The close-ups were amazing you were excellent in your explanation thank you again. I have watched 20 or more videos. Yours is the only one that actually explains it. Thank you . I had to buy three new chainsaw chain because I have not learned how to sharpen them yet. I'll give it a whirl

I watched your video expecting to get a laugh like I do from most chainsaw chain sharpening tutorials. No laughs here. You did everything the way I was taught. Great work. I worked logging and pulpwood cutting in Northern NY for many years. I will refer anyone who asks me to this video, Thank you

Stumbled across this video and instantly subscribed to the channel. You're better than any teacher or professor I ever had in school. Thank you so much for taking the time to make videos and share your knowledge in such a understandable and concise way.

I just want to tell you that this video is extremely educational. I have used a file a few times to sharpen a chainsaw but I honestly feel like I could be a novice and never have touched a chainsaw blade or file and be able to come away with a perfectly sharp and safe chainsaw blade. Thank you for your time.

Best chain sharpening video ever! Thanks very kindly for the clear, concise, thorough detail. I am just learning myself and this was very helpful. All the best. Subscribed!

As a retired Millwright/Machinist I can say with certainty that this is the best video I have ever watched by a gentleman who knows what he’s at. I always get my best results in the vise also. I never thought about tipping the chain saw over to get the other side of the chain. Thanks for that tip. You sir are a master!

What an awesome explanation. Many people might be able to show you how to sharpen a chainsaw, but not many can explain it as well as this. You are a great teacher. Thanks.

You are the Top Dog chain sharpener!! Beautiful job explaining , clear, concise, and you covered every aspect. Congratulations and thank you.!! 👍👍👍

Thank you for this straight to the point, no BS video. You’ve helped me greatly, sir.

well, I could listen to this gentleman, all day! Thanks for your teachings, I learned a lot!

I’ve been using chainsaws off and on for 30 years casually. I’m no pro. But I’ve never heard or seen the level of detail and solid tips - and the reasons why they work, before this video. Thank you for sharing. I think I finally get it

Straight forward instructions. No nonsense no filler. Outstanding.

Well made, clear, concise, and just a general pleasure to watch!

this might be the best instructional video i've ever seen on youtube

Yes ! Finally! Old school wisdom with no annoying music. Need more of these.

I've been around chainsaws for more than 68 years, and this is THE BEST explanation I have had the pleasure to experience. Reminds me of listening to my Dad who sold McCollough and Homelite in N. California but without the New England accent! Thanks.

I learned more here than in the last year of watching videos on sharpening. Thank you.

Respect for this experienced job, and good to see its done visually and not by counting strokes which often make it terrible uneven.

You are a very good teacher. I have been sharpening my chains for over 40 years and I never understood the 'why' of taking that front rounded guide on a tooth down. So Thanks very much for your excellent video.

You could hear how the file sounded when he was filling nice and smooth how it just glided through. Nice video. I learned a lot. Thanks

Well done! Clear and concise and to the point. Thank you!

dang very technical to sharpen a chain, seen couple of videos this by far is the best thanks

Excellent. Well filmed (the guy was professional enough to use a tripod), straight to the point, no fancy soundtrack or side stories, great presentation, and knew what he was talking about.

Thank you uncle, you explain clearly, step by step and methodically. Your lens man is also professional. I have watched other videos as well but found this one to be twelve star rating.

BRILLIANT! Bloody Brilliant. Great video for anyone needing to know or needing to get back to basics, saw up-side down sharpening too, I've Never seen that. Yep your right it can be done. Thank you Very Much! Great voice and well spoken Video also. Cheers!

Thank you for posting this! Have to agree with what everyone’s saying: This is one of, if not the best chain sharpening video to watch. Whether it’s chainsaws, chisels, planes or knives, everyone seems to have an opinion on how to do it or what the latest, greatest gadget for doing it is. There’s no substitute for experience and not only do I wish I had a fraction of this gentleman’s, but his knowledge, skill, eye for detail and patience of a professional should be the benchmark every novice or veteran forester/woodworker, alike, aspire to. Thanks so much again. This really helped me.

BlurnGanston ph,

Best sharpening video I have seen ! Having spent 4 years in a sharpening shop that was founded in 1936, & only fixing chainsaws, I enjoyed this video. Covers all the points we were taught, down to removing the burr. (We were told to tap the cutter with a vertical stroke, using the end of the wooden file handle. This would fold the burr down over the cutting edge, and break it off.) We would often have 20 or 30 chains to sharpen first up in the morning, and did them all by hand. The owner of the shop said that no other way would get the right finish on the cutting edge.

Stihl, Oregon, and Husqcvarna make fike guides for a reason.
