  • Hands down, a chainsaw is the best way to cut wood. But if your like me, small engines and I don't always get along. Being able to process wood by other means becomes a necessity. These are a few options I have at my disposal.

    Bow saws are very easy to sharpen and usually end up cutting better than a new blade.

    Given me the idea of trying to put a side handle on a bow saw as of your cross cut saw.

    I'd prefer quiet when I'm in the woods. Chainsaw is nice if you're pinched for time, otherwise I like handsaws.

    temporary sharpener is small wood blocks cut to form with some 400 grit sandpaper applied(quick and a bit rough, but effective) if you re-temper the teeth you can hone them to be quite sharp...especially on that good old steel. and painting an image on the would be a major waste...you are correct.

    With you, small engines hate me, why I've been slowly moving to brushless electric. Where we moved rural the prev owners left all kinds of toys in the shed, including a bunch of saw options. Going to have to try them instead of a chainsaw someday just for kicks.

    the chainsaw works when the gas is turned on lol

      Yes, a chainsaw works when it has gas and when it is in the correct "choke position" so the gas can start up the chainsaw.

    what diameter was that wood

    Currently, I use a reciprocating saw, instead of a chainsaw, due to having left hemiplegia. I was just woundering, what would be the best option if a reciprocating saw isn’t strong enough, for cutting indoor firewood? Also, what would be the largest/safest diameter for a reciprocating saw to cut?

    I'd say by the noodles and it's dry wood that cleaning and possibly dressing up the cutters and rakers it's in good condition. Use straight edges on both sides of the blade to see how the bends run and tap them out gently. The nice thing about hand Saw's is they always start and don't need gas and oil.
    And I've never seen a person cut their leg to the point of having to be ambulanced to the hospital.

    lets see you use the large saw to cut up large oak logs

      Damn you and your challenge. Now I'm going to have to do it. LOL Having used a crosscut saw makes you wonder why it took so long to invent a chainsaw. Commercially available in the mid 40s???? Hopefully I can start getting some new stuff up soon. Thanks for watching.

    Have a look at the video where Cody from Wranglerstar.com sharpens a crosscutsaw.
    He knows how to do it!
    Nice video btw.

      +Joris Van der Ploeg There's a few people with good videos on sharpening crosscut saws. Cant remember who they all are. I have sharpened a couple. It's not to hard with the right tools. Probably the most confusing part is swaging the rakers. The saw in this video and I also have a perforated lance tooth that look like they have never had a file put to them. It appears that from factory they don't really come swaged. Thanks for the comment and subscribing. :)

    You could have smashed the camera at the end of the video. You were very lucky.

      +d hamby I used a gopro with a hard case on it. They are very durable cams. There was a sky diver that dropped his from a plane. It survived without the case.
