Your channel is the only one I watch on RUclips, every time I switch on my computer I check my E-mails and the Wranglerstar channel before anything else.
I laughed when Mr. Wrangler star drop the punch. It reminded me of when I drop something. I can never just drop one thing it always is catastrophic and involving what ever I am working on to fall too. I also cant wait for more timber framing.
Great post on linking up a chain. Makes you want to just buy a roll. I noticed a supplier offers the little links with a roll of chain. The bigger the roll the more links. Thanks again.
I always pre-click my thumbs up during the 4 sec. YT ad that precedes the start of each video. I can 100% guarantee that I'll like a Wranglerstar video, even before I've seen it. Never been wrong yet.
Loved the video. I'm a gal who only used a chain saw once in her life but I soon will have property where I’ll need to use them often, and I need to learn everything I can, like replacing my own chains. You made it so easy to understand. Now I know I can do it - saving time and money. I've subscribed to your channel because you also seem very honest and patient enough to teach others. Honest, patient, with know-how - well that's a trifecta for sure. Thank you!
You have my support! You could look at it like this 29,000 people is what is in an average small town, so you have an entire town worth of people supporting you.
Dang cody I was sitting in the combine these past couple weeks trying to figure out my chainsaw chains situation. I didn't know if I was going to take some where to sharpen them or if I was going to buy some more chains. Main point.. This video helped me out just like pretty much all of them do! I appreciate what you do for all of us and look forward to more videos. Have a great day!
I noticed on these chains if a link does get to tight and won't smoothly move on the pins/rivets that you can put a hard tool like a chisel in between the link where it is open air space ( like in between the two "link' sides and on a hard surface like an anvil, hit fairly hard with even a claw hammer on the chisel and the link will loosen enough to work good again. Gotta be careful and not damage the link when doing it but solves the problem I found out and does seem to get you back "sawin" again making progress.
Cody, I appreciate and love all your videos, we are very similar people. I recently picked up an axe at a barn sale and after sanding the handle and properly mounting the head and applying linseed oil and putting a razor edge to it,it is a beauty and a chops like a dream and only $5. the head is a Norlund.
You rock wranglerstar. Thanks for all the great videos. Nice cheeky clip of the timber frame. Half the price to make your own. Il be doing that in the future.
Nice video Cody, didn't think I'd like it since we don't use chainsaws much in this part of the country, but I found it interesting and well done. Excited about the timber framing project, nice teases on the last couple of videos!
Couple things to help elucidate: what yer calling "master links" are known as "presets" (with rivets spun on) and "tie straps". They are specific to a given make/model/gauge/pitch of chain- don't mix em. Chain length is given as #DL, that is, number of DRIVE LINKS, which are the "shark-fin" thingies that ride in the bar groove and engage the sprockets. Peening rivets is for emergencies only. Northern Tool has a good bench-breaker/spinner under $100. Granberg makes a portable breaker/spinner for $50-something- better at spinning than breaking. Hammering can crack rivets- a no-no.
wranglerstar and FRESH PRINCESS ...You both are so kind! :) Cody, by "campus", I take it you mean the site I am assigned to help safegurd? If not, maybe that was a "word" from the Lord for me (through you) as I want a scholarship so I can finally get my ministry and audio engineering degrees!
Mr. Wranglerstar, I watched the video, and I like the idea of getting a hundred foot roll.of chain. I was just hoping you could tell us how to properly sharpen a chain. I know you're busy and all. Thank you for the great videos.
My son and I are in TX and we have really enjoyed finding your channel. We only use wood for heat and run a saw quite a bit. I am a builder and have also enjoyed your tips for milling and construction. When you make a ripping chain, what is your recommended chain source?
The editing and filming of this video is beautiful. Nice work. And thanks for the shout out. When am I going to get you out on the water. I think it's time for your breakthrough. I love you.
Very funny tease...not mean. Congratulations to Rogue. We like and have a lot of respect for Wranglerstar and for anyone else who does as well. Welcome to the family.
Congrats on the Sponsor Sir. You know with all that land and clearing you got... I think it would be an excellent area for Powered Paragliding. The sport would do well in serving 3 purposes. #1 Servey the Homestead. #2 Fire Fighting look out. #3 Get into a Sport, like your Sister had done, to further Appreciate the things most take for granted. If interested or just curious and I know you want Quality... Look into "Fresh Breeze".
Wranglerstar, on your chains for the mill what chain are you running? Do you take it to 10 degrees or buy special ripping chain. I ask this because I filed my chain down ten degrees so I didn't know if it made a big difference or not. Thank you for your time
Hey know I'm a active subscriber I don't like to comment on vdieos because I don't know to answer back on my phone.my lap top quit working amoth ago :( and another reason why I don't comment is because I can't thank of stuff to say.I keep an eye out for ur videos all the time and watch them when they come out and give them a thumbs ups :)
I have a question. I came to own a craftman saw and I do not like it. Is it normal to have to tighted the chain after 3 cuts every time even after the chain and bar are already warm? It also starts in gear with the chain running. It stops when you hit the throttle but I have no idea how to fix that. I am saving for a stihl but It is going to take a while for me to be able to afford it.
Am reticent to speak up. But I think it's the drivers you count (look like sharks teeth). Then you would not have to back up one. When tightening the chain and bar on the saw, the slack must be taken out of the fit of the bar. Simply hold the bar nose up just enough to take the little bit of slack out of the bar. And if the chain is just properly tight, then snug up the bar nuts.
wranglerstar just a heads up the proper way is to count the drive links then you don't have to minus one for the master link just saying not trying to ruffle your feathers or anything love the videos, I was surprised to hear only 29000 active subs, wow I would have guessed more. God bless
I’m in the 29. But love the little pieces I pick up in your content. Like today that spacing of the bar. Never thought about it. But thank you and bless your family. Keep ‘em coming plz
I noticed you didn't talk about pitch or is it covered In a different video. I have 3 saw with 3 different pitches. As the bars or sprockets get replaced I'm going to change them so I don't have to have so many extra part around.
Thanks🙂I think I will buy that roll of chain now since I do a LOT of fileing 😅Aussie hardwood is nasty! Love your videos I'd say they are the best of RUclips do it yourself USA! I usually dodge USA you tubers but not yours👍🇦🇺
Yes, just the part sticking out and keep the side of the cutter intact. Will be making a video of said procedure at the end of next week for my channel.
MR. W , can you show us what makes a proper "sawmill" chain different from a "regular" chain? is it less cutting teeth? different angle on the teeth? I read a regular chain can be modified....Is that by cutting some of the teeth off? ty!
Ok, Ok. I promise to be more active in the future. Cody, I have an older chainsaw (about 15 years old) that only gives me about 10 minutes of use before the chain gets loose. Any suggestions? I cleaned all the gunk and sawdust out of the sprocket area, it appears to be in very good shape but won't stay tight...
I've picked up some chainsaw chains at work that have only been used once. They just need to be sharpened.They are for a 20" bar. Can I shorten them for a 18"bar.Buy the way I like your videos very informative.
I know this works, But at least get a rivet spinner, This could be dangerous. Hammering could cause stress risers in the rivet, causing failure. Chain saw chain spins at about 60MPH, There's a reason those rivets are Spun.
We had a lot of trees down this year on our shoot in Hampshire UK, big beech and oak smashed our pens to bits, so the saw was working overtime. We were stupid enough to let someone have a loan of it, must have been cutting rocks cause it came back knackered. As its at least £20 a go for made up chains, we kept on trying to sharpen it. A lot of our buddys use saws for clearing as well, so your idea of buying lengths sounds good. Not a problem making lengths as a few of us are bikers and quite conversant with making up chains. Dont know why nobody thought of it before, thanks for advice Cody. Going to subscribe to your channel now, good to see there are still some proper americans left. you were recommended by Rob Bixby by the way. Gods grace be with you and yours.
i don't comment on very many videos but i do enjoy watching. i am a truck driver and try to catch up on watching when i get home. thanks for sharing.
Your channel is the only one I watch on RUclips, every time I switch on my computer I check my E-mails and the Wranglerstar channel before anything else.
Thanks Michael,
Agreed! Everyday when I get done with work I make it a point to watch a few Wranglerstar videos if I can!
I laughed when Mr. Wrangler star drop the punch. It reminded me of when I drop something. I can never just drop one thing it always is catastrophic and involving what ever I am working on to fall too. I also cant wait for more timber framing.
Never built/repaired a chain before. This will help me a lot AND save me some money!
Great post on linking up a chain. Makes you want to just buy a roll. I noticed a supplier offers the little links with a roll of chain. The bigger the roll the more links. Thanks again.

Thank you Mike,
Ive not had cable in 6 years and your channel is one of those reasons. I love all your vids and ive learned a lot. Thanks!

Honest, patient, with know-how - well that's a trifecta for sure. Thank you!
Cody...Thanks for the great tip. I'll have to check out buying a rope of chain so I can make my own, as well as fix them.
You have my support! You could look at it like this 29,000 people is what is in an average small town, so you have an entire town worth of people supporting you.
Great video especially like the inclusion of a chisel safety lesson (reshaping the mushroomed end).
Dang cody I was sitting in the combine these past couple weeks trying to figure out my chainsaw chains situation. I didn't know if I was going to take some where to sharpen them or if I was going to buy some more chains. Main point.. This video helped me out just like pretty much all of them do!

I'm glad to hear, Thank you.
I might not comment on all video's but i sure do watch em. Your channel is the main channel i watch on regular basis :).
Safety Sally will be proud of the tip. Thanks for the tip on the chain. It never occurred to me to buy a roll of chain and make my own.
Thanks for all the good videos! You seem like a person I would enjoy working with.

I always love watching your videos. They're a treat of the week for me. Keep them coming and, as always, God Bless.
Interesting and educative content... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
Easy way to count links is to count the drive links. Thumbs up
Your videos are great. I have learned many things from your teachings. Keep it up.
+34brstone Thank you.
You rock wranglerstar. Thanks for all the great videos. Nice cheeky clip of the timber frame. Half the price to make your own. Il be doing that in the future.

Anytime you can save money to accomplish a task is a good thing!!

Good stuff, as usual, Cody. So happy, honored and proud to be a part of BOTH channels! Corrin ("Fresh P") is pretty amazing!
Thank you TsMJA. Stay safe on campus.
You're a joy to have here.

Thanks Cody, that is almost as easy as doing a motorcycle chain.
You put out some fine information that I did not know. Buying chain in bulk? Great idea! Really enjoy your stuff! Keep it up....
I've heard lots of nick names for Snap On tools through the years, but Snappy Tom, that's a new one lol.
Mr. Wranglerstar,
I watched the video, and I like the idea of getting a hundred foot roll.of chain. I was just hoping you could tell us how to properly sharpen a chain. I know you're busy and all. Thank you for the great videos.
I think I'll fix my chainsaw now. Thanks!
Thanks for the post. keep'em coming.. love watching your sister. and her crazy chicken.
My son and I are in TX and we have really enjoyed finding your channel. We only use wood for heat and run a saw quite a bit. I am a builder and have also enjoyed your tips for milling and construction. When you make a ripping chain, what is your recommended chain source?
This is my super awesome comment for a super awesome video. I watch every episode.
Just found the channel, I love it, very wholesome.
definitely one of the best video I've seen. Thank you
As always your explanations are really well done. Thanks.
whenever I'm home I'll check in on your channel every hour or so. Lol.
thank you for your videos wanglerstar
WOO HOOO, goin through the back log of vidjoes!
Thanks for this tutorial.
A Video I saw that I must have missed. Great information didn't know it was that simple to do thanks.
I like the new background! Thank you for this video. We're "all in" for saving money! :-)
Thanks you for showing me this it helped me
The editing and filming of this video is beautiful. Nice work. And thanks for the shout out. When am I going to get you out on the water. I think it's time for your breakthrough. I love you.
Sweet! Thank you....and God Bless!
Tomorrow?
Drifted on river today on the tubes and hit the art festival in TL,
I might be able to go tomorrow. How about a morning mt bike ride?
Y'all are seriously the coolest.
I watch when ever a new one come on
I love your channel. Hope to meet you someday, I live in Oregon as well. Keep up the good work,
I see how you are. teasin with the timber framing.
Very funny tease...not mean. Congratulations to Rogue. We like and have a lot of respect for Wranglerstar and for anyone else who does as well. Welcome to the family.
You make excellent videos
Thank you! I have been wanting to make my own chains.. now I can!
great always thought about doing that just like a bike chain thanks for sharing will have a look on the web for some chain,
All the best from the Uk
I really appreciate your videos. Extremely good information. The info here has helped me in so many ways.
Thanks I always wonted to get chainsaw chain on a roll instead of having to buy them separate just don't think I had the right tools to make them
Another great vid
Congrats on the Sponsor Sir.
You know with all that land and clearing you got... I think it would be an excellent area for Powered Paragliding. The sport would do well in serving 3 purposes.
#1 Servey the Homestead.
#2 Fire Fighting look out.
#3 Get into a Sport, like your Sister had done, to further Appreciate the things most take for granted.
If interested or just curious and I know you want Quality...
Look into "Fresh Breeze".
Getting hard to find 70 driver chains for my old Homelite in local shops. Might have to make my own or shorten s 70 DL chain
Wranglerstar, on your chains for the mill what chain are you running? Do you take it to 10 degrees or buy special ripping chain. I ask this because I filed my chain down ten degrees so I didn't know if it made a big difference or not. Thank you for your time
keep up the good work
You keep watching and I'll keep working,
Awesome video!
Can't wait for more vids. God bless!
Hey know I'm a active subscriber I don't like to comment on vdieos because I don't know to answer back on my phone.my lap top quit working amoth ago :( and another reason why I don't comment is because I can't thank of stuff to say.I keep an eye out for ur videos all the time and watch them when they come out and give them a thumbs ups :)
Thumbs up for not hitting your finger while peening, and also the Swedish flag in the background.
You count the drive links
Cody, Show us how to use that break n mend granberg sent you
I need to get my some chain to make chains
You showed to replace the link. what about the blade. do u get the blades seperately
You forgot to tell about the correct direction of the chain. I once saw a guy put on backwards and complained that his new chain was defective.
I have a question. I came to own a craftman saw and I do not like it. Is it normal to have to tighted the chain after 3 cuts every time even after the chain and bar are already warm? It also starts in gear with the chain running. It stops when you hit the throttle but I have no idea how to fix that. I am saving for a stihl but It is going to take a while for me to be able to afford it.
Any thoughts on doing another top ten video again? I loved those!
What's the name of the song in your new intro? Love it and love the videos!
cool
And the Fresh P as a gorgeous chicken...................he he
No wonder I have so much trouble with my chainsaw, its only a ms261...
Where is the best place to order bulk chain.
Where are you buying your Chain Supplies?
P.S. Great Video and have a good time with P's pizza!!
what does a ripping chain do to the wood that other chains do? Also what kind of other chains are there and what is their purpose.
It seems to me Daylon the ripping chain leaves a much nicer finish on the wood. Not so rough as a crosscut chain,
Interesting. So I guess one would not pick a ripping chain for falling big timber.
Have a good dinner
Am reticent to speak up. But I think it's the drivers you count (look like sharks teeth). Then you would not have to back up one.
When tightening the chain and bar on the saw, the slack must be taken out of the fit of the bar. Simply hold the bar nose up just enough to take the little bit of slack out of the bar. And if the chain is just properly tight, then snug up the bar nuts.
I have a small scar about 1" from my left eye to remind me to not allow any striking tools to mushroom over.
Last thirty days makes someone an active subscriber? Well then that makes me an addict. I catch each video before its a day old. Thanks cody.
Thank you Mat,
Hey Cody I Did Step By Step Rebuilding A Broken Chain. You Saved Me 20 Or 30 Dollars. I Used A Dremel. Thanks Cody.
wranglerstar just a heads up the proper way is to count the drive links then you don't have to minus one for the master link just saying not trying to ruffle your feathers or anything love the videos, I was surprised to hear only 29000 active subs, wow I would have guessed more. God bless
Thanks! Just bought an old
Pioneer and it’s near impossible to find a 79dl chain for it. I can now make my own!
I’m in the 29. But love the little pieces I pick up in your content. Like today that spacing of the bar. Never thought about it. But thank you and bless your family. Keep ‘em coming plz
I noticed you didn't talk about pitch or is it covered In a different video. I have 3 saw with 3 different pitches. As the bars or sprockets get replaced I'm going to change them so I don't have to have so many extra part around.
I'm sorry, but the title says, "How to "MAKE" a chainsaw chain. NOT How to assemble a chainsaw chain. (-1 : 17)
Found this old video, not even searching. Perfect timing tho, to know this is available
What would your recommend for a ripping chain off an 880 Stihl. The .404 or smaller? Any advantage to either?
Thanks🙂I think I will buy that roll of chain now since I do a LOT of fileing 😅Aussie hardwood is nasty! Love your videos I'd say they are the best of RUclips do it yourself USA! I usually dodge USA you tubers but not yours👍🇦🇺

im here for ya Cody, big thumbs up. Thanks for caring about us and giving us informative vids and sharing your family experiances
Thumbs upping? As always!
I'd love to be there for the wood fired pizza!!
(thumbs up * 10^10)
does all chainsaws take the same kind of chain? I thought the pockets on the drive gear differed from one brand to another?
We had a lot of trees down this year on our shoot in Hampshire UK, big beech and oak smashed our pens to bits, so the saw was working overtime.
