    The main reason I am posting this is that I am frugal and trying to find a good deal on bulk rolls of 100ft chain near me, and Google is not turning anything up.

    The man cave has a nice fireplace, and I cut tons of wood for it, and I also have customers for work that I saw a lot for.

    Saw chains at Lowes and Home Depot have risen a lot lately, and so I have already purchased and set up what I need to make my own loops off 100ft rolls to save money.

    Now I am just trying to find those rolls locally to save shipping.

    Anyway, this could be entertaining anyway, no pics but a few years ago I did have 11 stitches because of a saw, and I have seen pics where someone tried to saw a tree and it landed on their neighbors house.

    I have 2 Husky 365's with 20 inch bars.

    Between work and personal I average cutting around 90 cords a year.

    (me and some friends run about 30 cords a year through the splitter).

    I suck at sharpening chains. I can never keep them sawing straight, and that is a problem when cutting wood up to 48 inch in diameter.

    Unless I hit metal a new chain is awesome for around 8 cords.

    Years ago I purchased a Oregon electric chain sharpener, and that is hit or miss. Sometimes works great, sometimes will not cut crap. I do know how to take it easy and not burn up a chain.

    Because of hidden nails and other hidden metal I go through about 10 chains a year.

    I already have everything to make chain loops off a 100 foot roll, and just trying to find a good deal on rolls locally.

    Quoted from jaytrem:

    You sell the firewood?

    I did when I was a teen.

    Now I just like it for exercise and almost free heat. (costs mainly are chains and gas).

    Quoted from Daditude:

    Johnny, your randomness never ceases to amaze me.

    We gotta go get a drink sometime.

    Drinks would be on me. You are super cool.

    I was just reading the nfl thread, and seeing comments, and thinking there is going to be some moderation here soon, and you left them alone and posted something funny.

    I do love that drop tower at the Six Flags near you. Someday when things are back to normal I may be in your area again.

    In the meantime I am all set up to make chain loops off 100 foot rolls, if any tree companies near me read this I can do those for 1.50 a loop(your roll of chain of course).

    Hell, I may can save you 3000.00 off a septic repair. (I also operate backhoes and excavators and have a good amount of smarts about anything other than a pinball machine, I still hire a repairman for pins, except for when LTG has gave me awesome advice here).

    I love Pinside!
