Shortening and lengthening your chain

Really good vid Gris. Will help folks and thanks for posting.
Never being able to find a chain breaker, I do pretty much the same thing only with a flat pc of scrap wood/board. It was laying around and had a hole in it so the pin can be driven. (LOL, can always find the board but not the right tool) Works well as the length of chain is flat. Raising the link being punched makes it squirrelly.
Also this is one of those times a bigger hammer is better.
