Now this is how it should be explained, plain, simple, to the point, no crazy music, or long drawn out introductions and no story telling in between, wish I could like this 5 more times over.
Agreed. It is so irritating to click on a video when all you want are clear instructions and get 30 minutes of rambling off-topic crap and next to no actual substance. Good job with this video!
I've run chainsaws, falling here in B.C. for the past 25 years and this is the first video on filing a saw that I've watched that covered all the important bases without any gizmos or useless info confusing the subject. Well done.
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 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 RUclips 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!!!
@@gittyupalice96 same here, but I see where this guy is coming from. If you're not in the workforce you wont see them, especially not on social media lol
I worked with a shipwright back in the 80's - I learned that Shipwrights can do anything! Fix, Fabricate, Repair, Finish, Paint, Restore... They are a combination of Carpenter, Cabinet maker, Cooper, Blacksmith, Rigger and a little lumberjack when needed. Thankyou sir for sharing your vast wealth of knowledge... Great tutorial... 👍
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
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
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.
The man delivered.l’ve just been given an electric sharpener,seen this tutorial,about to get some new files!As a 75yr.old once again l’ve learnt how to do it right.Thanks old mate.John.Tasmania.
I use to see my dad do this all the time sadly he passed before he taught me how to do it now I'm learning myself I have a love for chainsaws and trying to learn all I can great video thank you
This is by a mile the best chainsaw sharpening video there is. I've watched countless others, both pro and am, and I'm convinced that they have never sharpened a chainsaw before. This vid is for everyone - Watch It!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
too bad they don't have shop anymore they ought to be teaching these young kids how to do certain things instead of some of their useless math nothing like learning life lessons when I was in grade school I had shop and home economics definitely should put this back in schools
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.
haha I'll telll you why its crap , is became every cutter needs to be filled to same size and filled to an exact angle. Free hand filling from my 25 years experience using a chainsaw daily as a proffesional arborist tells me most people can't get the exact angle without a file guide. Stihl, Oregon, and Husqcvarna make fike guides for a reason.
I am new to chainsaw sharpening.I bought a stihl device to sharpen.I have watched youtube videos on said topic.Sir...yours is the best video on this topic.Now i believe i can.There are teachers and then there are teachers.You Sir are a teacher...thank you.
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
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.
I have looked at a ton of informational RUclips 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!
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.
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
BEST DIRECTIONS EVER!!! Been trying to sharpen my chain saw for several days now. When I walked into the hardware store to buy a file, the guy assumed (since I'm a FEMALE) that I needed them to do it for me!!!!! UGH! Thank You for being so clear!
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.
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... :-)
Gotta say....I'm impressed. Clear,. Concise and to the point. Wasn't expecting such a well done demonstration and explanation as this. Well done sir. Now make a few videos on the other things i have on my todo list. Seeing as you're so good at this 😂
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 !
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!
I've never been able to sharpen a chain and have it to work correctly again. Sitting in line with the bar and looking down made all the difference! I'll need to practace to get all the chips the same size but it cuts as fast as it did new. Thank you for this video!
I subscribed within seconds. You’ve gained a new avid follower based on your intro alone. Many men these days are missing techniques and especially missing concise, old time teachers like yourself. You should be very proud, you emanate a level of knowledge that our world is losing rapidly.
Started working in the woods in the 70s started as a chocker setter then worked my way up I've filled a lot of saws and this man a has his stuff together.thanks
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.
Already using both methods tried by myself . You are giving the proper information how to do it corectly . Greating from a hungarian in Northern Carpats .
This is very correct!!! Anyone wanting to know how to sharpen a chainsaw chain by hand needs to listen to this man right here! 5 Stars Mr. Sauzedde! Thank you for this video! You da MAN!!!
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!
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.
Sir, u made teeth sharpening an art, that just using some simple quality tools, and patience u can sharpen your own blades. Through 32 years of chainsawing, I always had my blades sharpened at the dealer. But the cost every coupla yrs would creep upwards. Not real happy lately of the quality of their sharpening, but with this video, gonna try this myself. What a great teacher...to the point easy to undetstand, no fluff....thank u!!
For a different chain. The "chisel" that he describes are different between some chains. It is listed on the box when you buy the chain... or experts like him just look at it.
Thank you. Just great to meet another old school guy. I started using a chain saw in 1973. Proper size round file by hand! The only way to do it! Would love to shake your hand and sit down and jaw for awhile. Two thumbs up brother!
Mr Sauzedde , thanks very much for explaining this , you,re the first guy I,ve seen sharpen a chain in a vice , & dress the guides also , I,m going to try this , as I believe it will make all the difference in getting the angles & fine tolerances required right , Best Regards from central england .

About to sharpen my first chain, and after watching 10 videos on how to, This one was the best by a long long way.
Excellent instructor. Quiet, conversational, with clear delivery that so many others don't seem to be able to put over these days. Many thanks.

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.
Soon there will be no more people like this in the world. This guy is fantastic.
Not true. I'm in my 20's and surrounded by guys and girls that live for this. So don't lose hope, were out there.
@@gittyupalice96 same here, but I see where this guy is coming from. If you're not in the workforce you wont see them, especially not on social media lol
Speak for yourself, I happen to be extremely chill myself
Well said and sad but true

Not only is his technique easy to follow, but he has an excellent voice to listen to - this is a great video.
Best & simplest chainsaw sharpening video. This grandma was finally able to properly sharpen the chain & without any stress. Thank you so much!
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.
Thank you very much for sharing! Now, I know how to do this! ;)

Great video bro. Informative and I could listen to your voice all day.
BEST DIRECTIONS EVER!!! Been trying to sharpen my chain saw for several days now. When I walked into the hardware store to buy a file, the guy assumed (since I'm a FEMALE) that I needed them to do it for me!!!!! UGH! Thank You for being so clear!

THANKS!!! Yours is the clearest and succinct explanation/demonstration I've heard/seen. You obviously KNOW stuff.
This gives a dozen or more insightful tips that two previous, highly acclaimed videos did not. Highly recommended!

I know you've heard it, but thanks for no music. Effective description, clear camera work, clear audio. Two thumbs up.
I've never been able to sharpen a chain and have it to work correctly again. Sitting in line with the bar and looking down made all the difference! I'll need to practace to get all the chips the same size but it cuts as fast as it did new. Thank you for this video!
I know the feeling. It's an art form.
What a great tutorial. I normally have to watch 6 videos to get the full picture. Don't need to this time. Thanks, Louis.

well, I could listen to this gentleman, all day! Thanks for your teachings, I learned a lot!
Very clear and informative. There’s a good reason this video comes up first when searching for “sharpening a chainsaw”. Well done 👍🏼
Respect for this experienced job, and good to see its done visually and not by counting strokes
which often make it terrible uneven.
Already using both methods tried by myself . You are giving the proper information how to do it corectly .
Greating from a hungarian in Northern Carpats .
I have been trying to sharpen a chainsaw PROPERLY for a while... Finally I know how to do it for the best possible cut
Straight forward instructions.
No nonsense no filler.
Outstanding.
This is very correct!!! Anyone wanting to know how to sharpen a chainsaw chain by hand needs to listen to this man right here! 5 Stars Mr. Sauzedde! Thank you for this video! You da MAN!!!
I've watched a lot of how to sharpen a chainsaw chain videos. IMO, yours explains it the best
That has to be one of the most intelligent ways of sharpening a cutting chain, in a vise! Praise the Good Lord for your wisdom.
Not sure, Phil, seems like keeping the chain on the saw and clamping the bar in the vise is more efficient.
Probably the best presentation on chain sharpening I've ever seen.
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.

David Greenwood a chainsaw has a bar and chain. A knife has a blade.
As usual, good stuff. Simple craftsmanship.
The good old fashioned methods are generally the best. Tried and tested. Excellent video.
excellent video! one question- 3 different angles...whats the purpose of the other 2 lower angles?
For a different chain. The "chisel" that he describes are different between some chains. It is listed on the box when you buy the chain... or experts like him just look at it.
Normally you would sharpen to 30 degrees for most cutting. 35 degrees for very hard or frozen wood. 10 degrees for ripping (cutting with the grain).
Kudos to the presenter. True born old time effective teaching of a practicable approach especially for anyone without contemporary tools.
I use a marker pencil to mark the first link in the chain,
so I know when I'm through.
Thank you for the tutorial.
You should be able to tell just by looking at the tooth if it's been sharpened or not. No marker needed
With his method I believe inspection will allow one to know when it’s done. But a marker is probably the best way.
Theyre all supposed to be the same size. Thr marker is for the smallest tooth, then you file them all down to that size
Best hand file sharpening video I watched.
Thank you from OzTralia for sharin your knowledge brother
What a perfect, calming procedural video. You wasted no words. Thank you.
great video. i especially loved the 500 power glasses part. great information.
Thank you. Just great to meet another old school guy. I started using a chain saw in 1973. Proper size round file by hand! The only way to do it!
Would love to shake your hand and sit down and jaw for awhile.
Two thumbs up brother!
Excellent, common sense tutorial in sharpening a chainsaw. capt pete

Mr Sauzedde , thanks very much for explaining this , you,re the first guy I,ve seen sharpen a chain in a vice , & dress the guides also , I,m going to try this , as I believe it will make all the difference in getting the angles & fine tolerances required right , Best Regards from central england .
