agreed, i had all kinds of annoying issues with the recommended 5/32 file, after watching Buckin' s videos on filing i went up to the 3/16 file an BOOM massive difference! haven't looked back since! that was 18 months ago, thanks again Buckin'!!
Bucking it's crazy,my mentor I basically apprenticed under for four years taught me how to sharpen chains.that said,he taught me to use a 3/16 file just like you said on my topping saws.anyways my saws cut faster and more smooth than almost everybody I see cutting,even cut faster than brand new chains so I know when you showed me the side profile of your chains they look almost identical to my chains.only difference is the ratio to hardwoods vs softwoods is probably reversed because I'm in Iowa and all we have is oak,ash,locust and maple.some cottonwood too but rarely do we get into any sizable fur or pine.just wanted to tell y'all that buckin ain't no joke ,the man knows how to cut and he's honest.pay attention when he tells us stuff and you will learn ways that will keep you productive but most of all keep ya safe.thanks buckin.
You're one gutsy man. I'm thinking of another word but I'm using my filters luckily. You're also quite inspiring, that's for certain. If there were only more people like yourself living in this harsh and grueling world, it would be a much more peaceful and kind world to live in. You're inspirational to myself and to many, many others. Thank you for doing what you do on this channel; it's far more than simply cutting down trees.
Funny thing is that when I was a kid cutting firewood in the late 1970's/early 80's, I didn't have a problem using the 5/32" file, now I do. I did have a few decades of the Navy in between though. I tried the 3/16 on my little 435 Husky, it cuts better than it ever had using the called for 5/32" file. My theory is that it changes the cutting angle of the tooth just enough to make it take a good bite of the wood.
I highly appreciate Buckin Billy for who he is, what he does and where he's been. A super fine father /mentor/ brother... I know i will never catch up and see all the great videomovies that have been put out on you tube of tree cutting and chain sharpening and drumming etc etc etc But I'm so happy that i have been able to watch /listen /learn so many different things. I feel that i am a stronger/safer/kinder person. And thanks to many fine folks that are the Buckin Army. This world is a rocky road and with Buckin's attitude of gratitude I'm able to walk barefoot on Mother Earth and absorb her energies to create a better me. The grounding onto earth with bare feet gives a connection that cannot be measured /described by humans, only the animals know what is real. Humans are a close second. 😊
Buckin u do the best hand file hands down on the web of TH-cam thankyu brother for your tips an knowledge thru the time I've spent at this amazing channel 🤘 hope everyone here is well an be safe y'all..✌️
We started in a pop up camper and as the family grew we went up to a hybrid. Travel trailer with the drop down /pop out beds. Can't beat un zipping all the canvas and laying there in nature. Feels just like a pop up but with all the room and amenities of a trailer
Have a great camp out u guy's 🙂 have lot's of fun because you and your family deserve it =). U do such a great job at uplifting everyone and making the world such ah better place one day at a time =). So a huge huge thank you goes out u and hogan for that.
I hand file just like my father who was born in 1912 taught me , I will soon be 69 and have not forgotten his lessons about thinking first about how this blade cuts and how this blade cleared the swarf! File for that result , test cut inspect the chips you will learn as you observe , I could tell you what I have learned but you may learn I have made an error so up out Peter should decide for yourself! That’s why I like your approach!
i was talking to a friend of mine today about you cause i was wearing my get the gullet t shirt and we where talking about how you are show alot of tips and tricks and how to set an axe and sharping chains
Hey friend! I’m way over in the state of Vermont but I have an old McCulloch I’d love to send to ya , she’s ain’t perfect but figured it should go to a good home after workin on a maple farm for generations
I buy fix and sell chainsaws and i picked up 4 mcculloch saws today they run strong. I got me a 610 605 mac 130 and an eager beaver all for 120 bucks. The two big ones started great after a quick cleaning and new gass
So a 4.8mm file. Hmm, I might give that a try, I've been using the 4.5 so far (I agree with you regarding the 5/32 - 4mm file, I don't even know why Stihl recommends it, it's too small for the tooth on Stihl's 3/8p chains, on Oregon's low profile 3/8 seems to work ok), but I wouldn't mind using the same file for 3/8picco and my .325 chains.
Awesome sharpening video question do you use extra pads for your tree spikes sometimes my tree spikes really hurt my leg of course I'm 58 and not in good shape but they hurt my leg sometimes I just didn't know if you used extra pads or not thank you thank you for your channel thank you for your positivity
Buckin' putting a 28" bar on a 365 special. what's your preference on gauge size? because of saw size & power planning to go with the Oregon EXJ full skip chain just pondering on what gauge chain, bar and sprocket to get.
Very kewl old Ford truck and teardrop trailer Billy, Hey if a guy wanted to send you something, how, where would it be posted to. Love your show, my father was a faller years ago in BC.
Have you used the stihl 2 in 1 sharpener? I thought it was stupid until I used one and now I can file my 24 inch bar in 5 minutes or less. Also when are those Buckin Billy Ray safety glasses going to go on sale?
So buckin Maybe am being stupid here lol but your saying your using a 3/16ths file rather as a 5/22nds is what your saying u can use either 3/8 3/16 or 3/25 file depending on what u prefer? Am confused?🧐🧐
Love watching your show I use to do the same thing you do but since I lost my Right Foot and half my Left Foot is gone but I still climb just not a good as I use to.
You did have a Carlton file o plate for 3/8 low pro . I know because I gave you one at the last Buckinstock . You need another one let me know . Have a great day !
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith ok , got your address when Chester was needing turkey tail mushroom . Will try to get them to you soon . Yes there for 3/8 low pro or as Stihl calls picco , the small chain .
The more I try to learn about sharpening the worse I get. It’s got to where I just throw a dull one in the trash then go buy another new one while feeling like a dumb incompetent loser.
If you can't get hand filing buckin style, buy a genuine stihl file holder in the right size. Its important to match the right holder, file and chain. I just bought a .404 file holder for my 3/8 chain with a 7/32 file. The expensive orange 2 in one holder cant be adapted, and can only use 13/64 files on 3/8 chain. If you have lost the hook in the tooth, get the gullet buckin style hand filing then finish sharpening with the file holder. I have tried after market file holders and found their depth setting wrong, especially ones that include three file sizes with the one holder. I would have had 40 years of frustration if i hadn't learned to use the stihl holder well and most important when you are filing, think Be Kind, it helps.

My dad gave me an old Ms200 rear handle. I just got it all cleaned up and running. Such a good saw

Love the videos and there’s nothing better then climbing I love it also thank you so much for all the tips
Have a great trip, Buckin!

It was really great to meet you
You too Preston

No one like a ski tooth your right to the point no pun intended! Thanks for the lesson! ❤️

Enjoy that camping buckin.. don't know what it is about the bush but the trees almost sound like water makes me sleep like a baby
Thanks for the video! I've always disliked using the 5/32 files on the climbers, gonna try this next time I'm sharpening.
i was talking to a friend of mine today about you cause i was wearing my get the gullet t shirt and we where talking about how you are show alot of tips and tricks and how to set an axe and sharping chains
I love camping but getting a little old for tents, I'm ready for one of those little tear drop campers.
Ha ha
Hey friend! I’m way over in the state of Vermont but I have an old McCulloch I’d love to send to ya , she’s ain’t perfect but figured it should go to a good home after workin on a maple farm for generations
She’s a 300 and not locked up
Have a nice camping trip
They got a tool named silky katanaboy. Makes sawing trees down easier and faster. But axes are always freat at splitting wood.
Woo hoo thanks Buckin!!

How far do you eventually get into the side plate using the larger file?

What do you do with the old chains after you're done using them if you don't do anything with them let me know
What kind of bar and chain do you use on the chainsaw

Very kewl old Ford truck and teardrop trailer Billy,
Hey if a guy wanted to send you something, how, where would it be posted to.

Rather insulting calling that fine old truck a FORD. LOL
Have you used the stihl 2 in 1 sharpener? I thought it was stupid until I used one and now I can file my 24 inch bar in 5 minutes or less.
Also when are those Buckin Billy Ray safety glasses going to go on sale?
get the gullet on got that on my shirt
As a normal home owner, what chain saw would you recommend? I only want to buy one chain saw.
Have a great time with family an friends camping.
Is it safe for Myrtle to tow that much weight? :)
Please look up “roy Jenkins chainsaw cutting down a tree” it’s a video I made with a modified Chinese saw lol
Get The Gullet!
What about the small C?
I'm too young to rate an 020 but the 200T is the duck's nuts
👋
Get that Gullet Regardless cheers friends stay awesome n kind
What happens if your limb saw catches your rope that is holding around the tree? Will the rope stop the saw?
You will hit it .. you will curse , and that will be the end of it. You will carry on
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Thank you Friend for the reply. I was just concerned it may create a bad situation. Looks scary to me.
Hey buckin', whats your thoughts on the husky 365 special
Great saw I use my Dads over 20years old cut like beast.

Billy come on . . The shorter the tooth the smaller the file. . that chain is very ready for 5/32 or 1/8. . thanks Jon
