The Irish Gilder

A lot of great information on milling chain sharpening. Generally, we use both standard crosscut chain, as well as skip tooth ripping chain. If I'm expected to encounter a cavity or crotch likely to poses dirt, debris or ice, I'll likely use carbide chain. Finding carbide last many times longer, is heat tolerant, and experiences much less fouling during longterm use. Drawbacks to carbide, near 2x the cost of standard chain, not as easy to find, and the teeth are brittle should they contact hardened metal. Carbide does require an additional investment into a diamond wheel and can not be sharpened with a traditional stone. I'll likely put together a video in the near future but until then, Enjoy!.

Up your sharpening game and saw smoother and quicker! I show what I did, and most people, even experienced chainsaw users, do wrong when sharpening chainsaw ...

Well folks, we have been working on developing our custom handcrafted decor and woodworking business for a few years. Til now, we've focused on small scale, word of mouth but due to more recent demands we're hitting the social media scene. "The Irish Gilder" concept and concentration was derived from a leniage of family craftsmen, blended with newer concepts of long bar milling with Granberg Alaska Sawmill jigs with the very rugged Husqavarna chainsaw powerheads to mill these large logs. Converting to live edge lumber and producing high end, quality tables, home decor and more.
Having worked in NY and PA, there was a noticeable number of large diameter hardwood trees downed, either by utility easment clearing or high winds. Many of these bohemiths were destined to be reduced to firewood, sent to landfill or left to the natural course. Many owners, unable to afford the pricey removal cost, were more than willing to donate them for a more worthy cause. In which, we were able to produce beautiful large live edge lumber.
The lumber is air dried to avoid kiln cracking, seasoned and then used to produce furnature and more.
