    Ben and his videos were a huge influence on me when I started climbing. I admire your determination to check in on him. We all need brothers behind us. I’ll send prayers to the both of you.

    Mystery problem cutting?

    Not sure if this has been said but along with dressing the sides of the bar for burrs, you also need to dress the rails. The chain tends to run it down particularly at the base of the bar by the dogs and sometimes at the tips depending on the length of the bar. This what the bar dressing file...
