Thanks for the shout out for my recovery and your well wishes. I really appreciate it! I'm happy you were able to use the bar tool. I enjoyed making it. The Maytag repairman and I were sitting at the old guy table this morning swapping stories about how bored we got repairing the saws I sold and the washing machines he serviced when this feller came shuffling up on his walker telling about the time he worked on an IH tractor AND a New Holland baler on the SAME DAY! Obviously an imposter trying to fit in. We voted to shun him and make him sit with the Chevy guys.😂
@MikeLouder1 LOVE it!! You made the IHC guys, the Chevy guys, the Stihl guys, *AND* the New Holland guys all furious with JUST one comment... GRAND SLAM!! 😂😂🤣🤣 Thanks for joining in on the light-hearted fun around here!!!
@jameswade5879 Thank You, Sir!! That means a lot to me as I'm trying to figure this dad-blasted youtube thing out; I'm more familiar with hammers and welders than computers and cameras. Thanks for the kind words.
I need to make one of these! For the first time in my life I bent a bar cutting some ash in the swamp. The bar bent back pretty good using some heat and a press but the bar groove on one side is still a bit tweaked, I figure a tool like this would make it good as new.
@@HayChaffandSawdust1 would like to see that bar straightener tool, have a 32 that the neighbor used when they borrowed the 660… That 32 has a nasty twist to it now, needs fixed up,as I’d like to put it on the 440 after it’s built. Great info, thanks for sharing.
@@Archer_82 I will have to do that one of these days; same guy built the bar straightener as this tool; he was a Husqvarna dealer/tool-lover/cheapskate. he has gifted it to me, but I have not picked it up yet; I will at some point though. On a different note, a near-mint 029 arrived on the bench today (low compression) Seriously considering doing the bearing pockets when I put a jug and (;probably) a LRB piston in it. Love the challenge of a clamshell!!!
@@HayChaffandSawdust1 agreed! I’d like to see what you come up with. I just spent the last three hours of driving building on in my head, planing on using an old piston, some 3M90 and some sand paper to try and cut .020 out of the squish band to help drop these extremely high exhaust roofs, then adjust squish to that. Are you going to the 390 cylinder (49mm) on that 029? That’s going to make one mean clam shell!
Great looking tool, I’ll add this to the list of welding projects, right next to a vice mount that bolts to the bar studs for working on a saw. Thanks for the explanation, great Video.
@Archer_82 Hope you do! I will critique mine same as if I would have built it myself. I would use thinner bearings, so that the bearing race farthest from the bar groove doesn't "bottom out" on the solid portion of the bar. If the bar is spread and not worn too much, it will fix it. If the groove is worn too much, you might not be able to get ALL of the slop out. Just thinking out loud. Let us know how yours turns out!!
Don’t pay no never mind to comment 1 oh 8. If they can’t understand country than let um find a New York City channel to watch. I enjoyed your laid back country mannerism as much as the information. I’ve been firewooding and logging for 60 years and I’m going to get my ole friend welder Jim to make one of them tools. Wish I still had all them bars I threw away over the years. Hang in there, George (most simply call me the ole mountain man).
@georgefernandes3996 Hey Mountain Man!! Thanks for the words of encouragement! A lot of the younger crowd has the attention span of a gnat... I've come to accept that they are probably not the people who will watch with the rest of us. I know there's tons of expensive bars that's been threw in the scrap heap. Tell Jim to use a little narrower bearings so that it doesn't bottom-out against the solid part of the bar. This one has wider bearings and still works fine, but can't press it past parallel if too much metal is gone from the groove. Thanks for joining-in!!
@danielreichoff5853 Yes Sir; I love to learn; makes me feel young(er). Welcome; thanks for commenting. Hope you and your loved ones have a Merry Christmas!
New subscriber here, please be gentle with me for my first time. Thanks for this info on this tool. Shout out to Mike for building the tool and sharing with us. 💥Speedy recovery on your PT..!

Thanks again for joining-in; we have built quite a friendly and knowledgeable community here which gets along extremely well with one another; I'm sure you have found a new favorite place to be...

I like the tool, I have used a shim in the grove and a ballpene hammer on a piece of railroad iron to bring the thing back to spec. This looks to be a huge improvement!
@shermanhofacker4428 I've used both; I do tend to prefer this as I'm a little heavy handed and sometimes get the sides a little wavy with a hammer. Thanks for sharing your experience and joining-in!
@HayChaffandSawdust1 I was planning, gathering stuff to make one and thought of making the handle so it has a strong stop when vertical, but folds down in line for storage.
Thanks; in hindsight, it may not be a must-have depending on how much a bar gets used. I have bought "wore out" bars on yard sales for near-nothing before and made them VERY useable again. Thanks for joining the conversation!!!!!
@darrelljohnson4658 Thank you sir!! I forgot to mention, may use narrower bearings than this one so that they don't "bottom out" on the solid part of the bar. Thanks again for chiming in!!
Nice tool, great idea. I think I would have made both bearings adjustable so as to not pinch just one side. Doing that could shift the center line of the chain out of the center line of the bar. If both sides were adjustable, you would be able to work either side. Now I understand we're only talking thousands of an inch but from a machinist perspective a couple of thousandths is a mile. But I am going to build one for my shop, thanks for sharing.
@anthonypuccio9575 I had not considered how it could pinch only one side as there is nothing on the bar except a bearing on each side; in my mind, it should center itself, shouldn't it? I am dang sure not arguing, but I can't wrap my head around the manner in which it wouldn't center itself. I do appreciate the insight... now, I'm going to be awake all night trying to wrap my head around it.
@@HayChaffandSawdust1 Your funny, I'm sure you're going to lay awake at night!😂 It would be like a hammer and anvil, maybe a bad analogy, where you're only pushing one side toward the other. The side on the stationary bearing wouldn't move and you are only pushing the adjusting side towards it. Just saying, no offence taken. I worked (retired now) at a nuclear power station and you got to have thick skin to work there. And like I said we're only talking a couple thousandths so this whole conversation is probably mute anyway. But I liked the video so I'm going to subscribe. Thanks for responding.
@@AP9575-jd Thanks for the hammer/anvil analogy; got thick skin myself; sometimes my writing doesn't come across as light-hearted as I mean it, so I tend to be extra aware when "talking" to people that are unknown to me. Thanks for the sub; I hope I don't disappoint. Retired here as well, not from machinist, but have machinist background years ago. ...and I actually like laying awake thinking on mechanical things; it's relaxing. Lost many hours-worth of sleep recently making my chainsaw dyno. Thanks for being here!
@weilfast I was leaning the same way, but am aware I don't have ALL the answers all the time. I considered the hammer/anvil analogy, but that would rely on a stationary mass to resist movement (the anvil and bar) on one side and a mass in motion (the hammer on the other) to give those results. Thanks for adding to the conversation.
@FarmlessFarmer-xs1he Thanks Farmless! Hope all is well with all y'all. Hope weather is suitable for ya; we've been spoiled (way too dry though) around here.
Thanks, I bought a tool after seeing a video on splaying of the groove, and I got a nice tool, but the instructions were so terrible it turned me off. I just about sent it back. The problem I was having was uneven sides so when I filed as you showed it solved the problem, but again thanks so much for the demonstration on how to use the tool. Get so busy I try to make things when I can, but sometimes buy. I addressing My double chainsaw 48-inch bar now so glad you posted how to use the tool.
@BWreSlippySlope Glad it helped you. Buy when it makes sense and Make when it makes sense; have to choose your battles. Can't justify to spend an hour making a tool which can be bought for $10. Thanks for joining-in and commenting!!
@snort455 Yes Sir! Works well. Another thing I generally use, but it didn't work well with the video, are washers that I've picked out that are the different thicknesses of the proper gap. With a washer, they are pretty tough and can be slid down the groove without wadding up. Thanks for the suggesting though!! Thanks for joining the conversation. Merry Christmas.
@sky.hunter Meeeeee too. Any day that I make it without someone throwing dirt on my casket is a blessing. Hope you can also find happiness/contentment daily.
@camperjack2620 Good deal! Bar maintenance will sure get a lot more life out of a bar!! Some people are not even aware to flip them periodically. Thanks joining in the conversation. Hope you and your loved ones have a Merry Christmas.
@karlsborgwi.jewell9919 *IF* only two people in the world laughed, I know who the second one was ... 'cause I was there when I read your post! On the OTHER hand Stihl is waaay more environmentally friendly than Husqvarnas. (now, follow my logic here...) Imagine you wake up and the house if a little cool; you walk outside and it's frigid; you decide to cut a little firewood and grab your Husky and cut a few tanks-full (emissions and all) of firewood. Next, you'll be splitting that wood; your elevated heart-rate and huffing and puffing will expel more of that dang of poison CO2 into the air. THEN, you will throw some of that wood on the fire; next thing you know, there's smog coming out of your smoke stack. With a environmentally-friendly Stihl, you wake up with a chill-on in the house and walk outside to the still-frigid outside. You drag out the Stihl and pull on the rope until you get a good sweat going; being overheated, pretty soon, you're down to your t-shirt in -20 weather yanking on the pull rope. Pretty soon, you have to go into the house to cool off. Not realizing the house is ACTUALLY cold, you catch pneumonia and parish thereby not emitting ANY more CO2. In the event you have kids/young adults in the house complaining of the cold, you can offer "If you guys go start Daddy's Stihl, I'll cut us some wood; they'll mumble something under their breath, put on a sweater, and quit complaining loud enough for you to hear. (c'mon Stihl guys... we shouldn't dish it out unless we can take it and/or add to making fun of ourselves.) Thanks a BUNCH for the comment!!! I always enjoy a light hearted person with whom I can banter. Remember though "First liar don't stand a chance" holds true with me.
@@HayChaffandSawdust1. Rite on .. I fortunately have two hard working sons 27 and 30 .. that know I’m joking …I hadta stop talking smack about the youngest ones welding abilities tho kuz he saw one of my last welds and took pictures to remind me ea time my mouth is running…..

@romualdasmarcinkus7879 I admit, this one works pretty well, but could be better; if the bearings were narrower, it could/would pinch more than it does; it's limited by the solid portion of the bar. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@jasentonguepowersaws4206 I doubt it, but humbleness seems to run deep in the chainsaw crowd. ...on the other hand, I have slowed one down a time or two. 😜
@TTKMM They were fanned-out this morning and showing off for their gal; reminded me of Earnest T Bass when he was "woooing" Charlene Darlin... "tuning" his gas can and "singing" 😂😉
@Kevin.L_ Heck yeah! Need to make one, if for NO OTHER REASON than, so that you'll never need it. 😂😉 I have used this quite a few times; using it, I don't let my bars get too bad. It really shines on bars that have never seen any care... I just didn't have any left. Let me know how yours turns out. Helpful hint; sort through some washers and pick some (.050, .055, .063) out that fit your chain(s)/bar(s) and they make a real quick reference; I just used a caliper to show measurement.
@@HayChaffandSawdust1 I can see using some GO/NO GO gauges. Good idea on the washers. I'll try to make one before I need it. My old Stihl bar needed the rails squared, which I did on the belt grinder. I didn't even think to check the groove width.
@Peter-od7op I get it!! This video wasn't really so much about the tool as it was about teasing the Chainsaw Dyno I was building to subscribers I already had back then; I didn't expect it to get as many views as it did and didn't expect so many new watchers on THIS video.

@johnr5545 Thank you, sir!. May God bestow many blessings on you as well; Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!!
never seen one that worked yet, nice idea though
@romualdasmarcinkus7879 I admit, this one works pretty well, but could be better; if the bearings were narrower, it could/would pinch more than it does; it's limited by the solid portion of the bar. Thanks for sharing your experience!
maybe the bearings need to be od ground on a slight taper. it wouldn't take much of an angle.@@HayChaffandSawdust1
@@romualdasmarcinkus7879 That would also do it some good; it's just an idea I thought I would share; it could be improved, I'm sure.
👍🏻
Thanks for the comment Jasen; will have to watch some of your vids soon too.
@@HayChaffandSawdust1 ya check it out if ya like watching saws cut slower than stock.
@jasentonguepowersaws4206 I doubt it, but humbleness seems to run deep in the chainsaw crowd. ...on the other hand, I have slowed one down a time or two. 😜
Still no peacocks. 🙂
@TTKMM They were fanned-out this morning and showing off for their gal; reminded me of Earnest T Bass when he was "woooing" Charlene Darlin... "tuning" his gas can and "singing" 😂😉
Guess I'll have to make one so I never need it.
@Kevin.L_ Heck yeah! Need to make one, if for NO OTHER REASON than, so that you'll never need it. 😂😉 I have used this quite a few times; using it, I don't let my bars get too bad. It really shines on bars that have never seen any care... I just didn't have any left. Let me know how yours turns out. Helpful hint; sort through some washers and pick some (.050, .055, .063) out that fit your chain(s)/bar(s) and they make a real quick reference; I just used a caliper to show measurement.
@@HayChaffandSawdust1 I can see using some GO/NO GO gauges. Good idea on the washers. I'll try to make one before I need it. My old Stihl bar needed the rails squared, which I did on the belt grinder. I didn't even think to check the groove width.
Could you get on it with dam
@Peter-od7op I get it!! This video wasn't really so much about the tool as it was about teasing the Chainsaw Dyno I was building to subscribers I already had back then; I didn't expect it to get as many views as it did and didn't expect so many new watchers on THIS video. I get that it was awful slow to someone that didn't already know what was going on with the Channel at the time. Thanks for taking time to give constructive criticism. Cheers!
If you want to watch this video, get on with it man

Just fucking get on with it ……………………………. I’m gone
@iansmith7369 Never should have been here in the first place; hope you find for what you are searching/missing in life.
Just another hater .... old saying there partner,,,Don't let the door hit ya on your way out!
@@jlc3867 Boy Oh Boy, I sure wish I didn't have to have a filter on here; you said what I *wanted* to say (and more)! 😉😉
gottcha my friend@@HayChaffandSawdust1
bruv get to the point
I get it! If I make vids too short, youtube won't show them without them being "shorts". Trying to figure this whole youtube thing out and gunna have quite a few misses before I get it figured. Thanks for the input.
You may have some great ideas, but I had to leave because I got so tired of your explanations over and over about the same thing! Never did get to the subject of the video, I couldn't take it any more!
@charliesmith5849 I get it; I'm brand-new at this and don't have a sense yet. i have/had no idea the knowledge level of those of whom may watch and made it remedial enough for all to understand. Sorry you didn't get to the meat of the tool... I offered if for "free" to those willing to watch; some want it cheaper than free, I guess. Thanks for commenting and giving me something to consider.
@@HayChaffandSawdust1 If you are just starting, here is a suggestion to make your videos more watchable. Before you post each video, watch it to see if it is interesting to you! In today's UA-cam world you are up against some very professional channels! Good Luck!
@@charliesmith5849 Good advice! I've been striving to make each video better (I think); that vid was couple of months ago and I'm not sure why UA-cam chose it to present as much as they have, I don't think it's one of my best videos by-far. Thanks for taking time to offer fruitful and thoughtful criticism!
Buenas
Creo ke es una buena y necesaria herramienta
Boy a hacer una y seguro ke me acordaré de usted,,,, para bien,,,
Saludos desde Norte de España
@@manuelaabadgonzalez7923 Gracias; Espero que la herramienta te sirva bien.
Hace muchos años que no visito España; fue hermoso.
Gracias por unirte a la conversación.
just buy a new bar.......
@youkidcharger World full of throw-away type people and many of them are the ones to complain about the environment; bars were designed to be maintained and not thrown away.
