Square ground hand file - learn on the fly

okay let's uh let's do a little video where we can kind of see the whole gig and get going on old school old school bucket out in the carport where it all began right here friends this is where it all began this is where sven was first seen on the channel right here friends doing a video for longer ways acts longer way brother how are you i know you don't probably watch because you're a creator like me and we're busy creating for our people now i'm just going to tighten this up a little bit here not a ton so friends you may laugh at this next program that you're going to watch this next ordeal um it's it's funny and i agree with you if you laugh but to me i don't i don't think it matt well it doesn't matter because i've been cutting with it and it cuts like crazy you saw how it cut on the channel air the other day now i'm thinking it's time that i started with a new file because this one here i i believe is is worn out it is worn out and i deserve a new freaking file yeah someday here we go i'll keep this one though there's no sense in getting rid of it right friends don't don't slam your files in your wooden handles because when it comes time to change they're hard to get out let's be honest they are now so here's what i do friends this is how i do square ground hand file i have a little thing that i use it's ah where is it unless i've got it tight enough where so here we're gonna plug in the light so we got light now there's a couple different angles you've got to be prepared to do uh the side beat or the side angle the side plate should shoot for straight up and down shoot for straight up and down i like five degrees back a little bit that's my favorite um but for some reason like i'm good at doing it this way friends you know what i mean like i i'm good at this at this side right here like this okay this here i'm good at but yeah like but i'm not good at i'm not good at the other way yeah see that looks that looks freaking nuts we should almost look at that friends oh it's freaking tacular let's let's go down for a peek shall we so so here's the deal i'm i'm really good at it one way so i'll show you what i do for the other side let's go down here and let's take a peek see poo at this square hand file look at this i may have a slight no i don't i think i'm right in the freaking corner friends this is no jokeskis there it is right there look let's go in there she be i'm dead square right in the freaking corner okay so i'm just gonna be straight honest with you that's deadly and that side is is straight up and down skis it's a good grind okay okay so i got no problem doing it that way but when it comes to the other side friends i mean i could practice it uh people do different things they they file down friends is what they do they they do friends most people file down you can see it actually if you look close friends this is what we got here come on down see it right there see the corner it's been hit it just has yes that's why it was still cutting because it's not horrible but friends it should be like that look at that sucker come on right yeah okay so and then there's another one real bad one up here but that's not good let's just let's just get it straight that is not good okay so let's go about it like this you see this here now friends you see that see that see the burr coming off can you guys actually see it i'll bet you can can't you i know you can because i sure can there it is let's go over top and have a look there it is okay now what's more exciting than that well you guys know you've been under there you've had a little pixie poo but i'm the kind of guy that likes to get right after this let's do this well i'll be darned oh yeah dead square right in the corner that's scary friends we know this is gonna cop all right we know it is so but i i this so i do this way on the other stroke i go this way here here the sound it's it's different that's why i don't like going over top i prefer i do friends i i prefer this on both sides so i'm actually just gonna do it i'm gonna learn how to do it on the left side friends i've got a stand-up grinder i don't need to do this but i got this stroke down i mean down like it's it's coming off it's coming off scary straight scary oh yeah like it looks just like my grinding chain and i'm biting into the it's coming so i'm just gonna keep rolling with it and then i'm gonna i'm gonna try and get that other side friends like this the upstroke i just prefer it i prefer it rather than the down there this it's it's smooth and i mean friends i've already showed you i'm i'm right in the corner we should almost take another look it's kind of fun let's go for it this guy right here that guy right there let's move it so you can see so you can get in the light a bit you got to get the light going or it won't you won't see it friends eh maybe hey it's a tough tough one to see there it is there corner right in the corner yeah yeah tough to see in this particular light it's going to cut like man talk to you in a minute okay so i'm i'm very excited with this action right here this is your square ground handful okay yes and freak indeed it is so so that's nice but this other side friends uh i'm gonna train myself to get good at it because i i it is different this this way for me but i am going to train myself to do it because i like the the edge it affords me and i i will get it it's just finding that comfortable spot and it'll come let's have a look at this and just see where we're ending up so so but anyways my point being yeah see that ends up kind of my side beak ends up um not straight up and down it kind of ends up slanted back a little teeny bit so i need to change that and how i do that is by going like this friends straight down this so i go i go one way and then i go the other way and it cuts like a freaking banshee i don't know why it just does i'm i'm better at and i guess what i could do i guess what i could do is is really concentrate on this other i think it's like that yeah it is because that goes like that yes it is it's like that so i can change that in a heartbeat actually now that i think about it that's uh that's really nice friends i got this side down like deadly just deadly but i'm not too tickled with my glasses so i gotta give them a white let's use cj's old blanket cj and timber do you guys remember cj and timber when we were out here playing with them kids huh yeah yeah benjamin franklin now that's going way back friends hey ben tj timber you guys are probably five years older from the last time i seen you guys i got your blanket and i got your your um yeah i got your both your blankets you guys sent me cj and timber love you guys love you guys okay so we got this down we freaking got this down i would suggest not not going off like just get your angle set and and run through you know what find it and just run through don't get all haywire and try and go 900 miles an hour don't don't do it with a square filing just find your spot it's beautiful it's freaking beautiful friends okay slow down now i'm going to show you something this is what happened to me the other day when i was cutting in that video i hit something mind you we were rolling around in that freaking doit remember friends with your shirt on you're showing your doit you got to watch out for your and your doing you don't you don't want your shirt in your diet uh but let's get down in here and show you what's going on let's go about it like this you see this here now friends you see that see that see the burr coming off can you guys actually see it i'll bet you can can't you i know you can because i sure can there it is let's go over top and have a look there it is okay now what's more exciting than that well you guys know you've been under there you've had a little pixie poo but i'm the kind of guy that likes to get right after this let's do this well i'll be darned oh yeah dead square right in the corner that's scary friends trying to hold it still so we know this is going to cut all right we know it is so but i i this so i do this way on the other stroke i go this way here here the sound it's it's different that's why i don't like going over top i prefer i do friends i i prefer this on both sides so i'm actually just gonna do it i'm gonna learn how to do it on the left side friends i've got a stand-up grinder i don't need to do this but i got this stroke down i mean down like it's it's coming off it's coming off scary straight scary oh yeah like it looks just like my grinding chain and i'm biting into the it's coming so i'm just gonna keep rolling with it and then i'm gonna i'm gonna try and get that other side friends like this the upstroke i just prefer it i prefer it rather than the down there this it's it's smooth and i mean friends i've already showed you i'm i'm right in the corner we should almost take another look it's kind of fun let's go for it yeah yeah this guy right here that guy right there let's move it so you can see so you can get in the light a bit you got to get the light going or it won't you won't see it friends eh maybe hey it's a tough one to see there it is there corner right in the corner yeah yeah tough to see in this particular light it's gonna cut like man talk to you in a minute okay friends so the only way to get better at something is just keep doing it so i've i've just decided i'm doing it so i'm i'm on this side now i think i got that one did i get that one it's the only way to do it yeah so i got my line straight now but i need to so friends i just want to pop in here for just a second you're literally watching me figure this out as we go it's easier coming down from the top and in it is most most fellas do that okay they do i've checked into it and uh i just like going old school and and stroking from the bottom up it's just what i'm used to doing uh but here you're watching me kind of figure this out it's all you it's all you do you just gotta visualize it take a look at it why is my file doing that turn the file a little bit take a couple strokes you're gonna you're gonna ruin a few chains off the hop friends the old iron horse says you're gonna break a few eggs here and there well that's that's the journey and you will come out the other side uh cutting like a banshee so just have patience that's all i'm doing right now i just want to learn the square ground by hand that's all i want to do and i'm doing it over maybe that's because of this that's probably what it is right there let's see let's do one i think it is oh yeah i think i think this is it let's have a look yes indeed it is that's exactly what it is very interesting you learn something new every time so so that's what that is right like that yeah this is it here i can actually feel it very interesting wow it is that's what it is i'm finding it you gotta do it that is cool i wonder if this will work better let me pull back on that a bit that's not bad actually kind of uncomfortable though yeah a little bit uncomfortable there but that is the way that i can see it this is better here there we go there she is there it is okay so that's it yes it is very interesting this was the way i i did it before friends and it works like a hot damn i just do this because and the reason the reason guys do this is because they can see their corner it's right in the corner of the freaking tooth you see how much easier this is for me friends it's like you there's no guessing games there it is done and i'll bet you that yeah side plate is right on the money so so i'm kind of tempted to do one side this way and one side this way i honestly am friends i'm not joking yes but i kind of want to train myself to get yeah i want to get this once again friends this is a total learning experience for me and i want to share it because i know lots of folks are visual learners and including myself so if a fella sees me doing something and he's doing something or vice verse that's how i learn so i'm just going to run this out into that hemlock out in the field and give it a few cuts just to feel how it's pulling in the wood that wood out there is kind of scrappy it's a little dry and not not the hardest wood but it definitely gives an idea of how your chain's cutting and that's all i want to know right now um but i wanted to share this i wanted to share this with you guys and i know there's lots of folks that aren't able to get out with the situation so uh australia i love you guys over there in new zealand all my friends i just want to throw out a ton of content for you guys so i'm putting this out there i love you all okay um i have a feeling that this is gonna be a nice experience because the oh how do i put this the square filing is not a problem for me anymore i've done it about six or seven times now and that's it and i had a little jump on it because of i've been grinding for close to 20 years so uh i know what a ground two's supposed to look like and they come up pretty good so we got that that old hemlock out here there's nothing it's not the greatest wood to buck but it's still sound uh i think it's a little bit older here too to to give you the idea yeah there is so let's let's look let's let's see what this thing does [Music] [Music] what [Music] [Music] wow
